Must have: the Dyson Pure Hot+Cool purifying fan heater is a year-round winner
Uniquely engineered for year round use, the Dyson Pure Hot+Cool purifying fan heater delivers fast and even room heating in winter, powerful fan cooling in summer and efficient purification through all seasons.
The machine automatically detects airborne particles and gases and simultaneously reports to the LCD screen and Dyson Link app in real time, encouraging wellbeing and maintaining comfort levels in the home.
“A good purifying fan heater should sense, capture, project, heat and cool you,” says Dyson’s Global Category Director – Environmental Control, Sam Bernard.
“We insist on developing technology that works properly, without compromise on any functions. Our latest machine goes beyond standard tests. It heats and cools you while always purifying the whole room.”
Every day we can breathe in up to 9,000 litres of air. Living in the era of the “indoor generation”, we are breathing in more pollutants indoors as we are spending up to 90% of our time behind closed doors. Indoor pollution can come from outside when we open the windows or doors, but it can also be produced from everyday activities in our home.
The bedroom, where we spend approximately one third of our lives can be a polluted place at home. Potential sources include particulate matter from city pollution, VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) from hair spray and perfume, formaldehyde from foam furniture, dust and allergens from carpets and benzene from scented candles.
In the kitchen and living room, cleaning products emit VOCs, dander from household pets, gas hobs and other cooking processes release particulate matter, fumes and odours. As modern homes are becoming better sealed to comply with energy efficiency requirements, those pollutants can be trapped inside and air circulation can be compromised.
The new Dyson Pure Hot+Cool purifying fan heater has a range of improvements to the previous generation of Dyson Pure Hot+Cool Link purifier heaters including:
-Sensing: A new LCD shows the particles and gases the Dyson Pure Hot+Cool purifying fan heater is automatically sensing in real time using a unique Dyson algorithm.
Lasers measure and identify fine particles. Another sensor detects the amount of VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds), such as benzene and formaldehyde, and NO2 (Nitrogen Dioxide) present. Another sensor measures relative humidity and temperature.
-Capturing: Dyson engineers have incorporated 60% more HEPA media into a taller and deeper HEPA filter, and they’ve introduced three times more activated carbon, which can absorb gases, odours, domestic fumes and VOCs.
Nine metres of a condensed and sealed borosilicate microfiber filter captures 99.95% of particle pollution as small as 0.1microns , including allergens, bacteria, pollen and mould spores. Activated carbon filters, which have been coated with Tris (Trishydroxymethylaminomethane) to increase their absorption efficiency, remove gases including NO2, formaldehyde and benzene .
-Projecting: By expanding the degree of oscillation to 350-degrees and using Air Multiplier Technology, the machine can project over 290 litres of purified air per second to every corner of the room.
Dyson engineers tested the machine using a moveable 3D rig fitted with velocity probes to measure air force at different levels within the room. Using this data, we made numerous iterations of our air apertures to make sure that our machine circulates the air effectively for whole and even room purification.
-Heating: To deliver better heating performance, Dyson engineers optimize the air amplifier geometry to balance room mixing and tested 80 different heating configurations of the heating element to find the most suitable combination.
With thermostat heat control, the machine automatically keeps your room at the target temperature. The heating function will switch to stand-by mode once the target is reached and will switch back on once it senses a drop in the temperature.
Industry standard purifier tests are conducted in small chambers with a ceiling fan and only 1 sensor, which is not representative of actual living room environments. Dyson engineers go beyond industry tests and developed the POLAR test based on a bigger room size, with no added ceiling fan.
Eight sensors in the corners of the room and one sensor in the centre collect air quality data every 5 seconds, detecting particles of indoor air pollution that are 300 times narrower than a human hair.
Analysing the data across all nine sensors lets Dyson engineers ensure the Dyson Pure Hot+Cool purifying fan heater delivers a uniform cleaning performance throughout the whole room.
The Dyson Pure Hot+Cool purifying fan heater features a unique new diffused airflow mode along with fan mode. To maintain airflow projection out the front of the machine, the baffle stays in place to deliver a powerful, frontward stream of purified air. This can cool you down in the summer while simultaneously purifying the room.
In Diffused mode, a baffle in the amplifier moves to block the front aperture, diverting air through the rear of the annular loop at a 45-degree angle. Because the aperture is wider, this creates a more diffused airflow, uses less energy, generates less noise and purification effectiveness is maintained.
Available for iOS and Android, the Dyson Link app enables you to track indoor and outdoor pollution, temperature and humidity levels. You can also use it to control your machine and see how many hours of filter life you have left.
The new machines come with full Over the Air Update Capability (OTA) – meaning Dyson product owners can continue to get the most advanced Dyson software even after purchasing the machine.
The Dyson Pure Hot+Cool purifying fan heater is available in white/silver and black/nickel from Dyson.com.au and all major electrical retailers and department stores with a recommended retail price of AU$899.
