A method of air pollution filtration in a vehicle is disclosed. A plurality of purification devices are provided to detect and transmit an inside-device gas detection datum, respectively, for intelligently selecting and controlling the activation of filtering the air pollution in the inner space of the vehicle. An in-car gas exchange system and a connection device are provided. The connection device receives and compares the respective inside-device gas detection datum, and selectively transmits a control instruction to drive the in-car gas exchange system and the purification devices. The movement of the air pollution is accelerated by the gas convention of the in-car gas exchange system, so that the air pollution is directionally moved toward the corresponding one of the purification devices adjacent to the air pollution for filtration. The air pollution in the inner space of the vehicle is filtered rapidly, so as to provide clean, safe and breathable air.

A method for preventing and handling in-car air pollution includes providing an out-car gas detector to detect a polluted gas outside a car and transmit an out-car gas detection data; providing an in-car gas detector to detect a polluted gas in an interior space of the car and transmit an in-car gas detection data; providing an in-car gas exchange system for controlling and determining whether to introduce a gas outside the car into the interior space, where the in-car gas exchange system includes a cleaning unit for filtering and purifying the polluted gas in the interior space and a control driving unit for receiving and comparing the out-car gas detection data with the in-car gas detection data; and filtering and exchanging the polluted gas in the interior space after the control driving unit compares the out-car gas detection data with the in-car gas detection data.

A method of preventing air pollution in a vehicle is disclosed. Firstly, an out-car gas detection device, an in-car gas detection device and a purification device are provided to detect the air pollution and transmit a respective gas detection datum to a connection device. An in-car gas exchange system is provided for intelligently selecting and controlling a gas outside the vehicle to be introduced or not introduced into the inner space of the vehicle. The connection device receives and compares the gas detection data, so that the connection device selectively transmits a control instruction to the in-car gas exchange system and the purification device, and the air pollution in the inner space of the vehicle is exchanged and filtered, so as to provide clean, safe and breathable air.

A system is provided for monitoring the condition of a filter incorporated into a vehicle or other apparatus in order to identify when the filter should be cleaned or replaced is provided. This system generally comprises a receiving device and a smart filter element. The smart filter element a filter media having a first side and a second side; a frame comprising a plurality of walls that surrounds at least a portion of the screen; and a sensor configured to gauge pressure and to communicate wirelessly with the receiving device. The sensor being located approximate to the second side of the filter media.

An apparatus and method are provided for purifying air for breathing. The apparatus includes an armrest having a receiver and an air purification module releasably received in the receiver. The air purification module is portable and displaceable between a first operating position held in the receiver and a second operating position remote from the armrest and the vehicle.

A vehicular air-conditioning apparatus includes a photocatalytic module in which light is radiated on a photocatalytic filter to sterilize the photocatalytic filter. In particular, vehicular air-conditioning apparatus incudes: a duct to allow conditioned air to flow therethrough; the photocatalytic filter mounted in the duct and coated with a photocatalytic material to remove harmful substances in reaction to light energy; and a rotation unit rotatably mounted in the duct. In particular, the rotation unit is provided with a light source to radiate light toward the photocatalytic filter. When the rotation unit is rotated, a position of the light source is changed in a rotational direction of the rotation unit such that the light is radiated on the photocatalytic filter over an increased range. Thus, a filter sterilization effect is improved over the entire area of the photocatalytic filter with reduced number of light sources.

An air filtration system for a vehicle includes a first inlet assembly. A second inlet assembly is in fluid communication with the first inlet assembly. A first fan is disposed within a housing and is in fluid communication with the first inlet assembly. A second fan is disposed within the housing and is in fluid communication with the second inlet assembly. A light source is disposed within the housing proximate the first and second fans. The light source emits ultraviolet light. A filter is disposed within the housing proximate the first and second fans. An outlet is in fluid communication with the first and second inlet assemblies. Air is drawn into the housing by the first and second fans, subjected to the ultraviolet light, and expelled via the outlet.

This system generally comprises a receiving device and a smart filter element. The smart filter element a filter media having a first side and a second side; a frame comprising a plurality of walls that surrounds at least a portion of the screen; and a sensor configured to gauge pressure and to communicate wirelessly with the receiving device. The sensor being located approximate to the second side of the filter media.

A gas detection and purification device can be placed in an in-car space and includes a housing, a purification module, a gas-guiding unit, and a gas detection module. The housing has a gas inlet and a gas outlet. A gas channel is between the gas inlet and the gas outlet. The purification module is disposed in the gas channel to filter the gas guided into the gas channel. The gas-guiding unit is disposed in the gas channel and at one side of the purification module. The gas-guiding unit guides the gas into the device from the gas inlet, guides the gas to pass through the purification module for performing filtering and purifying, and discharges the gas out from the gas outlet. The gas detection module is disposed in the gas channel to detect the gas guided into the housing to obtain gas detection data.
