Dyson launched a new air purifier Big+Quiet Formaldehyde that can quietly purify air in large spaces, the company's Korean branch said Thursday.
The company said the new product is designed to utilize the phenomenon of cone aerodynamics to blow purified air to over 10 meters away.
Dyson's Formaldehyde range of air-purifying products is able to remove the toxic substance of the same name from household air.
Large-sized air purifiers typically blow air upward, but the company said it applied cone aerodynamics, a low-pressure air delivery system, to improve product performance. The product's angle can be selected from zero, 25 or 50 degrees, the company said.
In addition to its powerful blowing power, the product produces only 56 decibels of sound pressure at full airflow, making it the quietest and most powerful Dyson air purifier ever, the company said.
Through the company's unique algorithms, the product cross-validates data in seconds, analyzes air at the molecular level and automatically detects environmental changes to clean the air.
To develop such a powerful product, the company has gone through various tests such as the clear-air delivery rate (CADR) test and its own point load automatic response (POLAR) test.
"Dyson engineers didn't just rely on CADR testing, software and Dyson's proprietary POLAR test to develop the largest, quietest and most powerful air purifier ever made. Dyson's engineers built a large, 100-sqaure-meter lab at its Hullavington campus, which has 36 sensors to precisely measure air purification in large and open living spaces," the company explained.
The company said the products will be available at department stores, online and elsewhere starting Thursday. It will be available in two models ― a 1.19 million won ($910) product and a 1.29 million won product with additional filters and sensors.
