With the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic adding to concerns over yellow dust and fine particulate matter, interest in the atmospheric environment is higher than ever. Against this backdrop, Ventus Air (CEO Choi Bo-kyung), a company that researches indoor air quality, has unveiled the ‘HOOHA’ ventilating air purifier, which delivers ventilation, purification, and sterilization functions all at once.
The ‘HOOHA’ ventilating air purifier is designed to carry out the ventilation process—essential for making an indoor environment cleaner—without opening a door, and it is capable of removing gaseous pollutants that mainly exist indoors, such as radon, carbon dioxide, and formaldehyde. Ventilation is generally done by opening a window or the front door, but the outdoor environment is often poor as well due to yellow dust, fine particulate matter, and the like, which leads people to give up on ventilation altogether. The ‘HOOHA’ ventilating air purifier was inspired by this drawback and developed to enable indoor ventilation without opening a window.
To achieve this, ‘HOOHA’ implements in the ventilating air purifier a process that discharges harmful substances to the outside, purifies and double-sterilizes the outdoor air, and then brings it indoors at an appropriate temperature adjusted through a heat exchange element. Another feature is the multi-stage filtering via a three-stage filter, with an H13-grade HEPA filter that removes 99% of ultrafine dust. The double sterilization using UV-C and UV-A also stands out.
In addition, an outdoor air quality check function, an ultra-low-noise design of 20 decibels, an intuitive touchscreen and remote control, and easy filter replacement are further advantages. The new product has completed KC safety certification, electromagnetic compatibility certification, and a ventilating air purifier patent, and it has also finalized its registration with the Korean Intellectual Property Office for both its technology and design.
A company official said, “In an era where we cannot breathe without masks and air purification amid increasingly severe air pollution, we launched the HOOHA brand and developed the product to create a world where anyone can breathe freely and comfortably,” adding, “Since it allows ventilation without opening doors even in winter, it is receiving a great response from consumers despite being in its early launch stage. Going forward, rather than merely changing the air, we will further raise consumer satisfaction by incorporating modern design and smart functions.” 031-294-7422
