Air Filter

Do you know that vehicles are among the two major sources of air pollution, with stationary facilities like factories being the other one? The irony is this: in your own vehicle, you have at least two kinds of air filter to keep pollutants away. Isn't that funny? Your vehicle produces pollution, but it tries to get rid of it.

You will find one performance air filter in your cold air intake system under the hood, called an internal combustion air filter. The other one is the air conditioner filter (AC filter), also called an automobile cabin filter. Both take away up to 99 percent of bacteria, dust, pollen, and other micro particles, helping the system they are used in to be more efficient. The cold air intake filter sieves the air and traps particles, all while allowing high airflow so that the engine will receive the right amount of air it needs. In the AC, the filter ensures that the air going out from the air vents is clean. This prevents entry of respiratory disease-causing particles inside the cabin.

There are different materials used in crafting air filter'paper, foam, cotton, and oil bath. Auto filters are usually made from pleated paper, rectangular, and flat, although there are cylindrical filters available as upgrades. These are usually between six and 16 inches in diameter, inserted in a metal or plastic container. When choosing a replacement air filter, just remember to get one that will last for a long time.
