Next Generation Seat Ventilation System for Genesis EV

The shift towards electric vehicles is gaining pace to address carbon neutrality and environmental concerns. New technologies are being developed to cater to the unique features of EVs, such as the low indoor noise at low speeds, which require a low-noise ventilation system. A new dual-blower type system was developed to solve the problem of seat-bottom package caused by battery placement in the vehicle. This system uses two blowers, one for the cushion and one for the back, and reduces RPM to lower high-frequency noise. A new solution was introduced for temperature drop performance in the ventilation system. An integrated controller was also developed to control the seat warmer and ventilation system, with a smart control function added to respond to vehicle speed and ventilation time based on customer usage. As a result, this new ventilation system improves air volume, reduces noise, improves foot space, and reduces the number of parts compared to the previous system.
