What are the functions of automotive air filter element?

10-28,2024

An automotive air filter element plays a crucial role in engine operation, and mainly provides the following functions:

Filter impurities in air: The air filter element serves the main purpose of filtering air flowing into the engine to remove particulate impurities such as dust, dirt, pollen, and sand. It effectively keeps these impurities from entering the engine, protects various engine components, and extends the service life of the engine.

Maintain steady air flow: The air filter element can effectively maintain a steady flow of clean air entering the engine. Clean air improves the combustion efficiency of fuel, allows the engine to run more smoothly, and increases power output.

Increase combustion efficiency: Clean air leads to complete combustion of fuel, thereby boosting combustion efficiency and reducing fuel consumption and exhaust emissions. In this way, the vehicle's power performance and fuel economy are improved.

Reduce emissions: By keeping air clean, the air filter element can reduce emissions of unburned fuel and harmful gases, thus ensuring compliance with environmental standards and reducing impact on the environment.

Protect other engine systems: Clean intake air reduces engine oil pollution, extends oil change intervals, and protects the engine's lubrication system.

Comparison between vika air filter element and products of other brands:

PU rubber foam:

vika air filter element: The PU rubber filter element housing provides a good sealing effect. The required PU hardness is 25±3 (Shore hardness);

Products of other brands: Inadequate foaming leads to air leakage.

Filter paper bonding:

vika air filter element: During filter paper processing, the heat melt adhesive is evenly applied on both sides of the filter paper, and paper bonding is completed at the optimal time for hot melt adhesive bonding (3S);

Products of other brands: Cracking and leakage of heat melt adhesive may result in defective products.
