About Beval 공기청정기
Beval은 작은 공간에서 사용할 수 있도록 설계된 컴팩트한 공기청정기입니다. Beval은 동일한 사양의 다른 공기청정기보다 크기가 작아 손쉽게 옮길 수 있으며 여러 방에서 함께 사용할 수 있습니다. 네 개의 센서가 오존, 초미세먼지(PM2.5), PM1.0, 휘발성 유기화합물을 감지합니다. 필터 엘리먼트는 먼지를 제거하고 세균과 바이러스를 억제하며, 내장된 세 개의 자외선 램프가 공기를 한 번 더 처리합니다. 인공지능 기능은 필터 소모량을 측정하여 실제 사용 환경에 맞는 교체 시기를 예측합니다. 하우징은 ABS 소재로 제작되었습니다.

Behind the Design

- Unique Properties
- Beval is the smallest among the products with the exact specification. It has an added feature to filter another type of air pollution ozone, often overlooked in everyday life and filters viruses 12 times faster. AI is applied in the filter to calculate the consumption to determine the replacement schedule instead of a simple time countdown that may result in replacing a filter that may not be dirty. Lastly, the device assembly and disassembly are designed to be foolproof and intuitive.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- Size: 250*210*412.5 mm, Weight: 2.7 kg, Material: ABS
- Tags
- Hoood, Air Purifier, SLW,HhVD, HBP, AI, Filtering
- Production Technology
- The AI function monitors the filter consumption to calculate the filter life more realistically and save power. The four different air sensors detect air indicators, including ozone, PM2.5, and PM1.0, volatile organic compounds. The filter element filters dust and suppresses bacteria and viruses simultaneously. The three built-in UVC sterilization lights purify the air again. The light sensor turns off the panel display automatically when it is dark to provide a good sleeping environment.
- Design Challenge
- Considering the situation in a small space, the first challenge was to reduce the number of parts and save space as much as possible within the size limitation of the critical components while keeping the strong filtration effect. Maintaining a simple and intuitive human-machine interface is also a goal for the design team. The strategy of most home appliances is the more features you have, the more value you get, but this can undermine the product’s overall performance and confuse the user.
- Research
- To find out the user pain points, the design team sent a questionnaire to survey user opinions to understand the actual situation, human-computer interaction, and user needs. The device was put into field tests at each stage of development. Through observation and interviews, the design team repeatedly confirmed the user's ease of use and satisfaction. Through agile development, the design team avoids subjective thinking and allows the products to be as close to the user's needs as possible.
- Inspiration
- There has always been a myth that size equals cleaning efficiency in purifiers - a larger device is more effective. However, it causes difficulties in moving, cleaning the floor and limits the possibility of sharing a device among multiple rooms, especially among women. Regular replacement of expensive filters is also a common pain point. To address these pain points, the design team reduced the size while maintaining high airflow and efficiency, reduced the cost and increased the filter life.
- Project Duration
- This project started in October 2021 and will be finished in November 2022 in Taiwan.
- Operation Flow
- The product has the necessary and minimal buttons to guide the user to operate the machine easily, including power, fan speed, and intensity; the information displayed on the panel corresponds directly to the air indicator in color and shows the worst pollution indicator level. The indicator light lights up in red when the filter needs to be replaced. The design team expects to minimize the learning threshold in human-computer interaction, allowing users to operate the machine more intuitively.
