Abstract

Vehicles are an important transport system and have been increase about twenty nine percent in Malaysia. But there has a problem about Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) inside the vehicles that caused by passengers and driver itself. There already have air filter inside car air conditioner that to remove the harmful particles and contaminants from the air but not filter out the Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) from air inside the cabin car. Therefore, VOC removal filter has been construct to solve the problem. Charcoal has been use for develop this filter to remove VOC contains inside air. The size of design is 16 cm (W) x 16 cm (L) and the thickness is 3 mm, according to actual size of air filter for Myvi car air conditioner. After the completion of design process, the next process is to make a fabrication of the prototype based on the design and drawings that has been made. For the material has been used for VOC removal filter is 200 gram of charcoal, polypropylene fabric and trilling netting small. When fabrication complete, the process will continue with the testing process where it will test the percentage of VOC will be remove by VOC removal filter at the car air conditioner without removing the actual filter. VOC removal filter prototype will be test using three odor sources is cigarette smoke, oil paint and petrol. The data will be taken for every sixty minutes with the time intervals of ten minutes. The data are used calculate the average value of the VOC level and its percentage differences for cigarette smoke, oil paint and petrol is 15.27%, 4.34% and 3.69%. From data percentage of Volatile Organic Compounds reduction, it is proven that the new VOC filter prototype is capable in reducing the Volatile Organic Compounds in the air that cannot be done by conventional filters.
