Murata have released the highly reliable and highly safe Ionissimo® MHM series of ionizer modules to the market, these modules use Murata’s exclusive high-voltage circuit, insulation technology and generator structure which is designed to efficiently generate ions at lower voltages. The modules structure featuring the drive power supply wired to the ion generator provides a high degree of design freedom when incorporating the module into the finished product.
Ionizers operate by using a high voltage generator which produces negatively charged ions, when released into the air these ions create a static charge around any airborne contaminants that may be present. When these airborne contaminants such as virus, dust, smoke, odours etc. are negatively charged they will attract to nearest surface they encounter. Once these contaminants are no longer floating freely around in mid-air, the air will be much cleaner and feel fresher.
Ionizers can be used as a highly effective element within an air purification or sterilisation system when used in combination with Hepa air filters. They can also be adopted in a wide range of existing applications such as HVAC units or Kitchen fume extraction equipment to further enhance performance.

Murata have performed a number of tests under different conditions to demonstrate the effectiveness of the MHM series Ionizers, a selection of this reference test data obtained under specific conditions is shown below. Note this reference test data is not intended as a guarantee of effectiveness.
High air cleaning effect demonstrated for cigarette smoke and dust particles
Particle samples: Cigarette smoke particles, dust particles, Testing site: Inside a vehicle (a small sedan), Measurement equipment: Particle Counter by Rion Co., Ltd. (Measurable particle size 0.3 to 0.5 µm).
Demonstrating strong effect on airborne virus
Testing institution: Biomedical Science Association, Sample virus: Type A influenza subtype H3N2 virus.
In collaboration with Nara Medical University in Japan, Murata have also conducted a study of the effectiveness of Ozone generation in helping to combat the continued threat posed by COVID-19. The paper by Michio Miyazaki, Senior Application Engineer, Murata can be downloaded from the data section above.
The Murata Ionizers are available with DC voltage input (MHM3 series) or AC voltage input (MHM4 series).
The MHM3 series DC input modules are available in 3 types with a choice of negative Ion density (pcs/cc typ.) and Ozone output amount (mg/H) to suit the application needs, they have an input voltage range of 10.8V to 13.2V (12V Typ.). MHM305 type is designed to deliver 5M pcs/cc typ. Ion’s whilst limiting ozone generation to 0.15mg/H typ. or less, MHM306 delivers the same amount of Ion’s but with increased ozone generation of 0.6mg/H typ. or less, and the MHM314 type delivers a much higher Ion density of 8M pcs/cc typ. but with a limited level of ozone generation of 0.15mg/H typ. or less.
The MHM4 series AC input modules are available with a choice of input voltages, 100V or 230V AC, making them suitable for use in different regions. The MHM402 type are designed for operation at 230V AC and deliver a negative Ion density of 4M pcs/cc typ. and ozone generation of 0.4mg/H typ. The MHM03 type produces a balanced output of positive and negative ion’s with minimal ozone, less than 0.1mg/H, making it ideal for eliminating static charges in products such as hair dryers. The MHM403 type Ionizers can also be used in industrial applications where static can be an issue such cutting polystyrene or shredding paper, the ionizer can be used to eliminate static electricity preventing polystyrene or paper debris from attracting to every surface in the equipment thus reducing equipment maintenance and downtime.
