Evaluation of Cost-Effective Method of Improving the Cabin Air Quality Using HVAC case Coating

Among many environments, the motor vehicle cabin micro-environment has been of public concern. Infact Air pollution more harmful to children in cars than outside. Although commuters typically spend only 1-2hrs per day of their time in vehicles, the emissions from various interior components of motor vehicles as well as emissions from exhaust fumes carried by ventilation supply air are significant sources of harmful air pollutants that could lead to unhealthy human exposure due to their high concentrations inside vehicles’ cabins. This N9 silver ion technology helps significant reduction of microbial & viruses inside the vehicle cabin air. On contact silver will neutralize harmful bacteria on plastic surfaces giving them long lasting freshness and long-term protection. Silver is a natural antimicrobial. That means that microbes-germs can’t survive in the presence of silver ions. Silver ions released from the surface of silver molecules. Silver ions are embedded into a Silica Matrix mix with HVAC plastics, which will reduce microbial growth, when it encounters with the silver nano ions of HVAC case.

The objective of this paper to understand how the silver ion coating on HVAC unit is contributing to improving cabin air quality. In addition, Consumers / Automobiles Manufacturers / OEM will be looking for Continuous Improvement in Air Quality through a solution which is Sustainable, Easy to Apply & Effective in increasing the Freshness & Hygiene of the Cabin Air.
