Abstract
Nowadays, with improvement of economical income and life qualities, life pattern changes have been brought such as increasing of avocational activities. Consequently, following those life trends, utilization of car is getting increased. Thus, the perceptions of car have been changed from the only means of transport in the past to a 2nd residental space. that is why the car's endo environmental factors are getting so important. Air conditioner regulating air ventilization in vehicle's indoor automatically sets the right temperature based on the differences of indoor and outdoor's temperature with development of advanced functions to provide better environmental qualities in vehicle. However, even those advanced techniques for functional development are got so diverse though, the essential technique for preventing the growth of bateria and mold inside of the air conditioner are not even severals. Especially, evaporator one of the vehicle air conditioning equipments generates cooled air by vaporizing refrigerant in liquid state with the water as the adduct for this reactions. It has structural difficulties for water vaporation then cause the growth of germs. That's why this reseach was focused on the way of eliminating germs in the vehicle air conditioner efficiently. Direct air sterilizer by using UVC(Ultraviolet C) is manufactured and that performances are evaluated.
