The Coanda Effect - Creating the Most Comfortable Living Space Possible

To heat and cool air evenly, SHARP air conditioners take advantage of a tendency in nature that has been termed the “Coanda effect.”* This effect refers to the observed tendency of a jet of gas or liquid to be attracted to nearby surfaces. SHARP air conditioners utilize this tendency by aiming the airow at room surfaces, such as walls or ceilings, to more precisely control and direct the ow of air.

*The Coanda effect was discovered in 1930 by the renowned Romanian aerodynamicist H. M. Coanda (b. 1885).

Multi Space Function Controls Airflow for Quick, Constant Conditioning

The Multi Space function works at the press of a button to keep several rooms comfortable at the same time. With an indoor unit installed in a living room, in a stairwell, or in another suitable location, this function can quickly heat or cool adjacent rooms to a set temperature. The fan speed and the louver angle are then automatically controlled so that warm or cool air circulates gently and uniformly to every corner.

Note: This mode is available for TU SERIES and THU SERIES. The effect of this can vary depending on the room layout , the mounting position, the unit and the insulation level of the affected area .

Reverse Swing Louver Rotates 180°

Measuring from the center, the louver rotates approximately 180° degrees. This creates an optimal air current for heating or cooling. You can also set the louver angle as you want by the remote control.

Sharp’s Unique “Nature Wing” Fan Blades Modeled after Nature

Usually, aircraft wing designs are used for airflow control and improved its products based on aerodynamics. However, while aerodynamics is effective for moving large objects, it was discovered that the wings of birds and insects are more effective examples for objects with the size of our products. This forms the basis of Nature Wing.

Self Cleaning Function

Plasmacluster Ions minimize 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.

Test method: Measurements taken at SHARP’s laboratory using the AY-P28XC model (Japanese model). At an outdoor/room temp. of 27°C and humidity of 70%, a cycle consisting of one hour of cooling operation, 40 minutes of internal cleaning, and 20 minutes off was conducted for 14 days (40 cycles).

4 Way Swing

Automatic control of the horizontal air flow, vertical, lateral left and right side is available to make a uniformly warm or cold room.

*Hot Gas Pipe System (Patented)

The outdoor units of THU Series were designed to provide heat comforting to -27 ° C or to lower temperatures than any other model on the market . Through the SHARP’s Hot Gas Pipe System condensation holes are always free from ice and ensures a smooth flow during defrosts without affecting the energy efficiency.

Optimal Drainage Holes

With conventional air conditioners malfunctions in winter are often caused by water freezing in the outdoor unit. To prevent this, SHARP outdoor units incorporate numerous large drain holes in the base pan to improve drainage. Caps to cover these holes are also included with the product to facilitate use of the units in warm climates where water is drained out via a drain hose.

Frost Melter

When the heat exchanger is used to defrost the outdoor unit, war gas is channeled to the area near the base pan of the heat exchanger. This prevents drain water from freezing and allows expelled water to be drained easily from the holes in the base pan.

Anti-Corrosion Coating

A special anti-corrosion coating is applied to the heat exchanger, control board, and other key components in the outdoor unit to promote a longer product life.

*Pour lES SÉRIES ZHU/ZHU1

En général, on utilise le concept «ailes d'aéronef» pour un meilleur contrôle du débit d'air et on s'inspire de l'aérodynamisme pour améliorer les produits. Bien que l'aérodynamisme soit idéal pour déplacer de gros objets, nous en sommes venus à la conclusion que les ailes d'oiseaux et d'insectes sont de meilleurs modèles pour la taille de nos produits. De là est venue l'idée de «Nature Wing».
