The Hyundai Ioniq 7 will have an air purifier to prevent the spread of diseases among its occupants.
Various information reveals that Hyundai will mount in its next one hundred percent electric model, the Ioniq 7, a revolutionary air purification system to ensure safer journeys for all occupants.
The Covid-19 pandemic has revealed a problem that affects us all. If you share a vehicle with someone who happens to be sick, there is a high risk of becoming infectedregardless of the length of the trip. This situation is common and has been (and is being) one of the great difficulties in stopping the spread of the coronavirus.

Hyundai’s new technology features a vehicle divided into sections, with each passenger seat located in its own area. These sections are not defined by physical barriers, but instead employ a series of air curtains to separate them. In its most basic form, each seat will have at least two air curtains around it, one located longitudinally and one located transversely.

Each air curtain consists of one or more air inlets driven by a fan in the roof panel of the car, with corresponding air outlets driven near the floor of the car. Extracted air is routed through a purification system on the model before being returned to the interior of the caralthough the patent application does not detail the actual mechanism that sanitizes the air extracted from the air curtains.

This pattern of air curtains, blown from the top and exhausted from the bottom, creates a continuous flow air curtain and virtually isolates the air pockets. Hyundai’s technology will generate a adequate disinfection of the space and it will also serve to eliminate possible odors or other contaminants inside the passenger compartment.
The aerodynamics of the model itself favors the channeling of air and will take care of cleaning it and disinfect it before giving access to the trunk and acting on specific areas.
