Daikin Streamer Mode is an advanced air purification technology developed by Daikin that uses high-speed electrons to decompose harmful substances, bacteria, and indoor air pollutants. The technology is based on a high-power plasma discharge that generates high-speed electrons to decompose harmful substances, including formaldehyde, for superior air purification.
Understanding the Streamer Technology
The Streamer Technology works in three stages:
- Clash: The high-speed electrons generated by the Streamer Technology decompose harmful substances trapped by the HEPA filter.
- Cycle: The Streamer Technology maintains the deodorising filter’s deodorising capacity by assisting odour decomposition.
- Clean: The Streamer Technology removes bacteria from all filters, allowing them to be maintenance-free and increasing filter longevity.
Clash: Decomposing Harmful Substances
The Streamer Technology generates high-speed electrons that collide with and decompose harmful substances trapped by the HEPA filter. This process is known as the “Clash” stage. The high-speed electrons have a strong oxidizing power, which allows them to break down and neutralize a wide range of pollutants, including:
- Formaldehyde
- Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)
- Bacteria
- Viruses
- Allergens
- Odors
The decomposition of these harmful substances is achieved through a process called “plasma discharge,” which is a type of high-power electrical discharge that generates the high-speed electrons.
Cycle: Maintaining Deodorizing Capacity
In the “Cycle” stage, the Streamer Technology helps maintain the deodorizing capacity of the deodorizing filter. The high-speed electrons generated by the Streamer discharge assist in the decomposition of odorous compounds, keeping the deodorizing filter effective for a longer period.
This is particularly important for maintaining the air purification performance over time, as the deodorizing filter is responsible for removing various odors from the indoor environment.
Clean: Removing Bacteria from Filters
The “Clean” stage of the Streamer Technology focuses on removing bacteria from all the filters in the air purification system. This is achieved through the powerful oxidizing effect of the high-speed electrons, which can inactivate and eliminate a wide range of bacterial species.
By keeping the filters free from bacterial contamination, the Streamer Technology ensures that the air purification system remains maintenance-free and continues to operate at its optimal performance level. This also extends the lifespan of the filters, reducing the need for frequent replacements.
Proven Effectiveness

Streamer Technology has been extensively tested and proven to be highly effective in eliminating various indoor air pollutants. Some of the key findings include:
- Elimination of more than 99.6% of pollen in 2 hours
- Elimination of more than 99.9% of mould in 24 hours
- Elimination of more than 99.6% of allergens in 24 hours
These results have been verified through studies conducted at Wakayama Medical University and Japan Food Research Laboratories.
Moreover, Daikin’s patented Streamer technology has been found to inactivate more than 99.9% of the Novel Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) after irradiating the virus for 3 hours. This study was conducted by Daikin Industries Ltd in cooperation with researchers from the University of Tokyo and Okayama University of Science.
Technological Advancements
The Streamer Technology is an epoch-making air purification technology that has succeeded in stably generating “high-speed electrons,” which had been considered difficult to achieve in the past. The Streamer discharge is a type of plasma discharge that generates these high-speed electrons, which have a high oxidative decomposition power in a three-dimensional and wide range.
Compared to general plasma discharge (glow discharge), the oxidative decomposition power of the Streamer discharge is 1,000 times or more. This significant increase in power is what makes the Streamer Technology so effective in decomposing and eliminating a wide range of indoor air pollutants.
Conclusion
Daikin Streamer Mode is an advanced air purification technology that utilizes high-speed electrons to decompose harmful substances, bacteria, and indoor air pollutants. The technology’s three-stage process of Clash, Cycle, and Clean ensures superior air purification, filter maintenance, and long-term performance.
The Streamer Technology has been extensively tested and proven to be highly effective in eliminating a wide range of indoor air pollutants, including pollen, mould, allergens, and even the Novel Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2). The technological advancements behind the Streamer discharge have made it a game-changer in the field of air purification, providing a comprehensive solution for maintaining clean and healthy indoor air.
