Air-conditioning ionisers require low voltages
The MHM series of ionisers, designed specifically for air conditioning applications in the white goods, automotive and industrial sectors, require lower voltages for competitive performance
Murata has launched the MHM series of ionisers, designed specifically for air conditioning applications in the white goods, automotive and industrial sectors. The MHM series ionisers require considerably lower voltages than competitive devices, yet by delivering comparable performance, they are proving particularly efficient.

PIR sensor enables much smaller designs
Surface mount pyroelectric infra-red sensor offers dramatically reduced footprint, easy automatic PCB mounting and lower cost
The ionising device can generate negative or positive ions, or both, by applying either a negative DC voltage of -2.8kV DC or a positive high voltage of 3.0kV (compared with 5 to 6kV DC for competitive units).
Both positive and negative ions can be generated by connecting to an AC voltage.
Of particular interest in the consumer sector, the Murata ioniser can also be used to suppress ozone generation by controlling leakage current, and if necessary, it can generate ozone.

Murata has expanded its ranges of low-ESL capacitors, extending the capacitance ranges, over standard and extra low profile versions, while keeping ESL especially low
It can be supplied in kit form, complete with power supply.
The MHM ioniser will appeal to designers of home appliances, such as domestic air conditioning units, air cleaner/filter units, dust traps and air dryers.
In the automotive sector, its lower voltage operation will be useful for car air-conditioning systems.
In industry, it will find application in the food processing sector in de-odourising units and bacteria eliminators, and in a wide range of manufacturing sites for neutralising chemical vapours and smoke, and in static elimination equipment.
Murata's MHM Series ionisers are now in volume production and are readily available in production quantities from 1000 pieces upwards.
Price depends on volume ordered, but is in the region of £0.
54 to £0.68 each (euro 0.79 to euro 1) and delivery time is 2 to 3 months.
The units are fully RoHS compliant.
