The article introduces the air purification system arranged on motorcycles to help provide clean air for motorcycle users. This is a new system that is being researched and tested to help reduce the harmful effects of air pollution. First, an air purification system model is proposed and a mathematical model is built. SolidWorks software is used to design 3D models and evaluate the effectiveness of the system. Finally, the article focuses on analyzing the pressure change of the air purification system when passing through the newly designed mechanical structures of the system. By examining the variation of the air flow circulating through the system from 15 l/min to 40 l/min, it has been shown that the air pressure supplied to the motorcycle users is always guaranteed to fluctuate around the standard value of 101325 Pa. This is important because, in the tidal volume range, the volume of air moved into or out of the lungs during a normal breath, is about 6.5 l/min to 8 l/min with comfortable pressure equal or greater 101325 Pa. From the results of the pressure study, the system will decide to choose the output pressure control mode to help the user feel comfortable.
