Sanitizing Air

Unique Plasmacluster Ion technology to cle an the air you breathe.

Plasmacluster Ions spread throughout the whole room, cleaning the air.

Plasmacluster Ions
The number in this technology mark indicates an approximate number of ions supplied into air of 1 cm3, which is measured around the center of a room (at 1.5 m height above the floor) at the maximum wind volume, when an air conditioner using the high-density plasmacluster ion evolving device is placed in a room with the applicable floor area. This product is equipped with a device corresponding to this capacity.

Plasmacluster Ions clean the air inside rooms, as well as breaking down and removing unwanted odors.
The air inside ordinary houses contains invisible, harmful organisms such as bacteria and viruses. Sharps unique Plasmacluster technology, installed in your air conditioner, uses the actions of positive and negative ions to clean up these airborne contaminants and create a pleasant living space.
Airborne viruses

Plasmacluster Ions block the growth of mold inside the air conditioner.
While air blow and dry operations are performed for about 40 minutes, Plasmacluster Ions are blown through the interior of indoor equipment. This prevents odor-causing mold from growing on the surface of the heat exchanger. (Note: Mold already formed cannot be removed.)

Energy-Saving Design

Significantly reduces the burden on the env ironment as well as running costs.
Room temp.

Inverter Technology
Air conditioner operation is controlled to achieve a considerable reduction in power consumption, maintaining a pleasant room temperature.
While inverter air conditioners have a full-output operation mode, they drastically reduce energy consumption when used in energy-saving operation mode. This is thanks to inverter circuitry, which modifies and maintains room temperature by switching the compressor between high and low operation modes, instead of switching it on and off completely as non-inverter models do. The inverter model keeps the compressor running and simply reduces output when the room reaches the target temperature, enabling comfortable, even temperature control.

Laundry Function
The air conditioner blows on wet clothing and moisture is transferred to the rooms interior, to be removed afterward with the dehumidifier function. This makes it easier to dry your laundry indoors. After five hours, laundry-drying operation switches to fan operation, which incorporates swing function and emission of Plasmacluster ions. Drying laundry indoors can result in an unpleasant odor, largely due to leftover dirt and germs the washing machine failed to get out. With highly concentrated Plasmacluster ions, however, odors are suppressed for a feeling of refreshing cleanliness. ( AH-XP10/13MRY)

Instant Low Wattage 2 Steps

The air conditioner can be set to energy-saving mode via a two-stage adjustment. Power consumption is limited to the displayed value, reducing electricity costs and preventing over-cooling.

R410A refrigerant
Sharp's inverter air conditioners use R410A refrigerant and have no adverse impact on the ozone layer when in use. Sharp's inverter models contribute to environmentand people-friendly living.

Suitable Airflow

Three selectable airf lows create the ideal in terior environment for each time of the day.
Fast, strong airflow for instant cooling
Super Jet Powerful Jet

Gentle airflow for considerate cooling

Gentle Cool Air

Powerful, strong airflow blowing vigorously downwards.

The large fan emits an expanded air volume with vigorous speed, instantly cooling both your body and the room. The reversible louvers send the airflow further downward, placing you in the direct path of the breeze even if you are seated near the ground or lying down.
Large fan and reversible louver construction enable even more powerful cooling than ever before.
Even greater air volume. Powerful, high-speed cooling cools the body directly while immediately creating a pleasant interior environment. Air velocity comparison
Super Jet Downward air volume is stronger compared with conventional Powerful Jet functions, enabling faster cooling for your body and the room.

All-embracing airflow from the ceiling to the walls.

Cool air spreads throughout the room, creating a pleasant environment for everyone. Its indirect breeze makes this mode ideal for use when pregnant women, the elderly, and others who may be sensitive to low temperatures are present. The soft flow of air also makes it easy to sleep.

When you stand in front of the air conditioner, you can feel the cool breeze with your entire body. For times when you want to cool down quickly, this offers relief from hot, humid weather, or after exercise or other exertion.

POWERFUL JET

Sharp has researched the effects of moving air on temperature. According to the Coanda effect*, a moving gas or fluid leaving a nozzle tends to follow nearby surfaces, and cold air tends to move down. By delivering cold air towards the ceiling, Sharps technicians have designed a system that cools the whole room gently and evenly.
* The Coanda effect was discovered in 1930 by worldwide aerodynamicist H. M. Coanda, born in Romania in 1885.
