The role of car filters

A car air filter is mainly responsible for removing particulate impurities from the air. When the piston machine (internal combustion engine, reciprocating compressor, etc.) is working, if the inhaled air contains dust and other impurities, it will aggravate the wear of the parts, so an air filter must be installed. The air filter consists of two parts, the filter element and the shell. The main requirements of the air filter are high filtration efficiency, low flow resistance, and continuous use for a long time without maintenance.

Automotive engines are very precise parts, and even the smallest impurities can damage the engine. Therefore, before the air enters the cylinder, it must be carefully filtered by the air filter before it can enter the cylinder. The air filter is the patron saint of the engine, and the quality of the air filter is related to the life of the engine. If a dirty air filter is used while the car is running, the intake air of the engine will be insufficient, and the fuel combustion will be incomplete, resulting in unstable engine operation, decreased power and increased fuel consumption. Therefore, the car must keep the air filter clean.
