In an effort to provide its patrons with an optimum environment, Tokyo's 119 year-old Imperial Hotel will install newly developed Plasmacluster Ion generating unit systems in all its 7th floor guest rooms and in its buffet restaurant, the Imperial Viking Sal, in early July, with other areas of the hotel to follow in the coming months. The state of the art Plasmacluster Ion technology, developed by Japan's Sharp Corporation, will allow the hotel to maintain a healthier, cleaner and more ideal caliber of air quality.
Using the existing heating and air conditioning to release highly concentrated Plasmacluster Ions (7,000 ions/cm3), the ions not only strongly inactivate and eliminate airborne viruses, mold and allergens, but also cigarette odors on curtains and sofas and sweaty odors on clothing.
In addition to its low energy consumption, the new Sharp system requires no dedicated fans, and fits easily into air conditioning ducts saving space. Units can also be combined to meet the capacity of larger rooms. The Imperial and Sharp conducted Plasmacluster Ion concentration measurements in guest rooms and the buffet restaurant in order to arrive at a solution that matches The Imperial's specific needs.
The 7th floor guest rooms in the hotel's Main Building will be available in November, after renovations now underway. Imperial Hotel, Ltd. is introducing this special feature at its Tokyo flagship in preparation for its 120th Anniversary celebrations and also plans to install the same air quality refinements at its properties in Osaka and in Kamikochi in the Japan Alps.
