Teardown: Sharp Air Purifier FU-Z31

Air purifier has become an essential appliance in every home and especially during the hazy season, it sells like a hot cake. I bought this back in 4 years ago when the haze problem became intolerable in Malaysia. This is a basic air filter with HEPA filtration with Plasmacluster Ion feature from Sharp. I took this opportunity to tear it down when it requires thorough cleaning since the day I bought it. Let's get our curious mind going and look what's inside.


This is what inside the air purifier looks like. Simple isn't it?



Up closed at the motor and ionizer unit

Basically there are 3 sections on the controller board.
Left section - Front panel controller circuit. Middle section - AC switching circuit, Right section - Power supply circuit

Rear view of the controller board and where the brain is located

    Hello,

    Indeed a good post, we all know that our health is very important and to be healthy we need to breath in clear and purified air and the best way is the Air Purifier, my grandma became more healthy after I got the top Air Purifier at my home and recently I have purchased another one of the top Air Purifiers to make sure air at my home remains clear and healthy.

    Hi, did you find out what voltages are carried on the 2 pin connector to the plasmacluster unit? Is it just 12V and ground to power the unit or is it pulsed in any way?

    Some people don't consider space size before selecting a specific air conditioner.
