Compact is an air purifier designed for small interiors. The unit delivers a clean air delivery rate of 200 cubic metres per hour within a small volume, so the purifier suits limited living spaces. An innovative air tunnel merges the filter supports, several outer parts and the tunnel into single components, leaving only five main parts. The reduced part count lowers production complexity and cost, making cleaner indoor air more affordable. A curve at the top centre holds a receiver that works with many infrared remote controls. The body is made of injection moulded ABS.

- Unique Properties
- The Compact Air Purifier can blend in multitype of small scale interiors to fit target customer's living condition credit to its 200m3/h CADR into a small volume. Curves at top center reveals a receiver matched with multitype of infrared remote controller, creating an overall visual center. Corner curves and clean design illuminates its elegant impression. It merges various parts such as the filter support parts, some appearance parts and the air tunnel parts into one. Then, the product has only 5 main parts, which greatly reduces the cost.

- Research
- CAP shares external and internal parts and rearranges assembling method through its innovative wind tunnel design, reducing manufacture complexity and cost. Such design enables lower retail prices and allows massive low-income population a chance to improve indoor air quality.
- Inspiration
- People in developing regions are facing the situation of low income and air quality issue. So the design team try to create a innovative wind tunnel to reduce manufacture complexity and cost. The design aim to allow massive low-income population a chance to improve indoor air quality. So, we redesigned the structure of the product and merged various parts such as the filter support parts, some appearance parts and the wind tunnel parts into one. Then, this product has only 5 main parts, which greatly reduces the volume and costs.
