The Design
About Compact Tower 空気清浄機・除菌器
コンパクトタワーは、狭く人の多い住宅向けに設計された空気清浄・除菌装置です。円筒形のボディは直径240ミリメートル、高さ470ミリメートルで、射出成形されたABS樹脂で作られています。数値流体力学（CFD）解析に基づいて開発された新型の遠心ファンにより、性能を維持しながら風路の容積を削減し、紫外線除菌ランプを収めるスペースを確保しました。清浄能力は毎分100リットルのきれいな空気を送り出します。上端の半球部分には操作パネルと、さまざまな角度から空気の質を確認できる半透明のインジケーターが配置されています。

Behind the Design
Press Kit

- Unique Properties
- Credit to the CFD tests over 1000 times, the designers create a new centrifugal fan that can significantly reduce the air duct volume with the same performance, and help combine UV disinfection lamps compactly. Following the structure and function, the appearance presents a minimalist style and expresses the working principle of the product. A hemisphere on the top edge not only shapes the control panel, indicator and visual center, but also provides novelty through its asymmetry.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- Diameter: 240mm Height: 470mm. Uses the wavelength of 280nm violet light.
- Tags
- Air purifier, Disinfection, Air pollution, asymmetrical design, developing region healthcare
- Production Technology
- White body with grey top. ABS injection molding. Transparent black acrylic interactive panel. Transparent black lampshade. UVC disinfection lamp.
- Design Challenge
- A cylinder with 240mm diameter has to provide 350 cubic meters fresh air per hour and contains a UV disinfection lamp. We spent several months working on how to compress the volume of the structure. Meanwhile, product appearance should balance between simplicity and novelty. All above is to face the challenge of providing a cost effective, powerful and attractive product for people struggling with pollution and virus and light up their lives.
- Research
- The crowded living environment in developing countries and regions, where no surprise three generations of six people live in about 50 square meters or less. Meanwhile, air pollution and the covid-19 crisis of the past two years have always been big threat to the safety and health of residents.
- Inspiration
- Under COVID-19, air pollution and economic pressure, people lived in developing country are not only facing the health risk, but also enduring the crowded living environment. On the other hand, the "computational fluid dynamics (CFD)" technology can help designers to optimize the air duct structure systematically. So we draw inspiration from the two aspects, hoping to design a new type of air purifier that is powerful, cheap, compact, and can fit in the people's life in developing country.
- Project Duration
- The project started in Jan 2021 in Beijing and finished in Nov 2021 in Shenzhen.
- Operation Flow
- The hemisphere contains two functions. The top surface is designed to be control panel. Secondly, the hemispheric part below is made of transclucent material to show the air quality through the indicator. Hemispheric surface makes the indicator and information reachable from different perspectives. This machine is only 240mm in diameter and can provide 100L fresh and healthy air per minute. It is capable of circulating air 3.65 times per hour in a 40 square meters room, which makes it suitable for those people in developing regions.
