Air Quality is gaining more and more importance in our lives especially in cities where clean and pure air is scarce due to countless factors, from vehicular pollution to infrastructure development. Apart from cooling and heating, we feel that helping to improve the air-quality will also be one of the key factors of air conditioner echnology evolution in the days to come.
Even today, in many countries, dust and dirt are the biggest enemies of Air Conditioner’s performance.
Air Conditioning area generally contains different types of dirt. Hydrophilic dirt, which includes fibre dust and sand dust, and hydrophobic dirt, which includes oil and cigarette smoke. When the inside components of an Indoor Air Conditioner are left dirty, the unit can face serious consequences. There’s a chance that the Air Flow volume will be reduced, the Air Conditioner may get moldy, the outlet air will smell bad, and the Air Conditioner’s energy efficiency will deteriorate.
These dust and dirt particles can lower down the efficiency of the machine and may lead to concurrent repair or replacement if the damage is severe enough. Mitsubishi Electric India offers a solution to this problem with its Dual Barrier Coating technology. The technology protects air conditioners from the ill effects of dirt and dust and improves the efficiency and overall air quality of the system Dual barrier coating for better protection and performance The dual barrier coating technology is an advanced technology that protects Air Conditioners from the harmful effects of dirt and dust. This technology helps in reducing the attachment of dust and oil mist
that coats the inside of the Air Conditioners. The coating material significantly reduces the attachment of dust which is mixed in the air. This gives the units the ability to work at full capacity. Because there is less dirt, the bad smells and odors are reduced in turn. The need of frequent servicing of the Air Conditioner unit decreases as dirt levels decrease. Air Conditioners with dual barrier coating (DBC) technology are effective in protecting the body of the unit from corrosion and erosion while also provides cool, clean, and fresh air inside the room. How dual barrier coating technology works? “Dual Barrier Coating” is a two-layer coating with blended fluorine particles that prevent hydrophilic dirt from penetrating into the Air Conditioner and hydrophilic particles that keep hydrophobic dirt away from the Air Conditioning unit. The Air Conditioner is kept clean all year because of the dual coating present on the inner surface.
