The new Dyson HP08 air purifier captures the finest dust and allergens, and even destroys potentially harmful volatile organic compounds VOCs , including formaldehyde. The colorless gaseous pollutant is emitted by furniture and wood products with formaldehyde resins e.g. plywood, chipboard and fiberboard , insulation materials as well as repair and cleaning products such as paints, wallpaper, varnishes and cleaners. Formaldehyde particles, which are 500 times smaller than 0.1-micron-sized pollutants, are particularly difficult to trap. And if they go undetected, people are exposed to them longer because suspended chemicals are released continuously – a process known as outgassing.
Dyson Selective Catalytic Oxidisation SCO filter continuously breaks down formaldehyde at the molecular level. It is based on a material with a unique structure and the same structure as the mineral cryptomelane. It contains billions of tunnels the diameter of an atom, which are optimally sized and shaped to trap and break down formaldehyde, separating it into small amounts of water and carbon dioxide. The coating is then regenerated by oxygen from the air to continue the continuous destruction of formaldehyde without needing to be replaced.
New Dyson solid-state sensor uses a unique algorithm that allows it to selectively monitor formaldehyde without reacting to other gases that a separate VOC sensor would detect.
Dyson engineers rebuilt the air ducts in the new unit to create a HEPA 13 sealed filtration system. The result is not just to prevent contaminated air from bypassing the filters, but also to eliminate any potential for air leakage back into the room. So the new Dyson air purifier captures 99.95% of 0.1 micron particles, including allergens, bacteria, the H1N1* virus, pollen and mold spores.
Air Multiplier technology
Air purifier spreads purified air throughout the room. In “Auto” mode, it independently maintains setpoints for temperature[3] and air quality.
Designed for real homes
Dyson air purifier designed for real homes. According to industry standards, a laboratory test method is used to measure the effectiveness of air purifiers in a compact 12 m2 chamber with a ceiling fan for air circulation and one sensor to measure air quality. To bring testing closer to real-world conditions, Dyson conducts POLAR testing in a large 27m2 room without an additional fan, and collects air quality data using eight sensors in the corners and one in the center.
Features
Warranty: The Dyson air purifier comes with a two-year warranty on parts and labour.
Magnetic remote control is conveniently stored on top of the unit.
Sleep timer: intervals from 15 minutes to 9 hours are preset.
Night mode: the unit operates with a dimmed screen and produces the least amount of noise, while continuing to control air quality and maintain the set temperature.
Price and availability: the Dyson HP08 air purifier is available for purchase on the Dyson website.The HP08 is available on the Dyson website and at official Dyson stores at a price of 49,990 Dollars.
