The Dyson Pure Cool™ Link purifier fan automatically removes 99.95 percent of indoor allergens and pollutants as small as 0.1 microns from the air.
Globally, air quality in cities is deteriorating. But the air pollution inside your home can be up to five times worse than outside, and we spend approximately 90 percent of our time indoors.
Major indoor air pollutants include gases from cooking and central heating, mould, pet hair, pollen and allergens. Invisible to the naked eye, it is these ultrafine and potentially harmful particles that can travel easily through the air that surrounds us in the home.
Dyson engineers have combined their expertise in fluid dynamics and filtration systems with software to develop the new Dyson Pure Cool™ Link. This is a purifier that gives you an indication of the air quality in your home automatically purifying the pollutants it detects, whilst reporting the live indoor and outdoor air quality to the Dyson Link App – making the invisible visible, at the tap of a finger.
James Dyson says, “We think it is polluted outside of our homes, but the air inside can be far worse. Dyson engineers focused on developing a purifier that automatically removes ultrafine allergens, odors and pollutants from the indoor air, feeding real time air quality data back to you.”
Problem
Modern buildings are often built sealed in order to help maintain a constant air temperature and block noise, which can trap ultrafine and potentially harmful particles inside the home. Air purifiers can help combat indoor air pollution. But existing purifiers can use inefficient filters allowing potentially harmful, ultrafine particles to escape back into the room.
Solution
The new Dyson Pure Cool™ Link purifier fan uses a unique 360° Glass HEPA filter. This technology captures 99.95 percent of ultrafine allergens, odors and pollutants as small as 0.1µ from the air – keeping them in the filter. It doesn’t stop there; sensors inside the machine detect changes in conditions, before automatically adjusting airflow to maintain the target air quality. The machine projects cleaner purified air around the room evenly and quietly.
A team of 50 Dyson software and mechanical engineers were tasked to make the problem of indoor air pollution visible. The new Dyson Link App, developed for iOS and Android, will allow users to:
• Remotely monitor the inside air quality via the app – even if they are out of the house. This way, users can stay on top of the air quality inside their homes, can see the purifier and set a new target before ‘very poor’ levels are reached.
• Keep track of the air quality history, allowing them to oversee peak pollution times, for example during pollen seasons or when cleaning or cooking. If auto-mode is selected, the machine can then automatically react to the monitored air quality.
