An air filter element is a type of filter, also known as an air cartridge, air filter, style, and so on. It is the barrier of the engine air intake system, used to filter the air entering the engine, to ensure that the air inhaled by the engine is clean, to achieve the best fuel efficiency.
Air filter element materials are non-woven fabric, metal wire, activated carbon, synthetic fibre felt, etc. Different levels require the filter to use different filter element materials. What is a specific air filter element? And what are the air filter element materials?
What is an air cartridge?
Air filter element is a kind of filter, also called air cartridge, air filter, style and so on. It is mainly used for air filtration in engineering locomotives, automobiles, agricultural locomotives, laboratories, aseptic operation rooms and various precision operation rooms.
The engine has to suck in a large amount of air during the working process, if the air is not filtered, the dust suspended in the air is sucked into the cylinder, which will accelerate the wear and tear of the piston group and the cylinder. Larger particles in the piston and cylinder will cause a serious ‘cylinder pulling’ phenomenon, which is particularly serious in the dry sandy working environment. The air filter is installed in front of the carburettor or intake pipe and plays the role of filtering out dust and sand in the air to ensure that the cylinder enters a sufficient amount of clean air.
What are the air filter element materials?
Different levels of filters require the use of different filter element materials. At this stage, the filter types on the market are mainly divided into 3 types, users need to choose the right air filter according to their actual needs and use of the environment.
The coarse filtration effect of the filter is mainly used in common materials, non-woven fabrics, metal wire, activated carbon and so on.
Intermediate filters mainly use materials such as synthetic fibre felt, the pores will be smaller.
High-efficiency filters are mainly used in the material is ultra-fine glass fibre filter paper, pore space is very small, and can let the air through the low-filtering speed, to achieve the effect of filtering fine dust in the air, so that the purification is more thorough.
