About air filter
A clean motor is extremely imperative as it works more effectively than a dirty one. There is no question that the air filter of a car is the first line of protection for the engine and helps by allowing clean air to bring clean air to the engine of the vehicle. The air filters play a key role in the cycle of combustion. It also helps prevent airborne contaminants including soil, dust and leaves from being dragged into and damaging the engine of the vehicle.
What is the purpose of air filter?
The air filters serve the vital function of preventing the entry of dust, dirt and other contaminants from reaching the engine. The air filter gets dirty and stuck as time goes by, and would need a replacement.
How air filter works?
The engine inhales a lot of air and then expels it. So the air filter performs the function of handling and filtering the air that passes through the intake of air through the engine cylinders. The filter is constructed from porous materials and functions as a sieve that filters out the incoming particles and separates the air molecules from the impurities. The air molecules pass through while the crud stays caught in the membrane of the filter. The air filters are located in a large plastic box in the engine bay of almost all modern cars, while in the carbureted engines, the air filter is a portion of the carburetor housing and is mounted directly on top of the carburetor.
Where is air filter located?
Near the front of the engine compartment, the air filters are found in almost all modern vehicles under the hood inside a rectangular cold air collection panel. A range of vehicles have large round metal air cleaners including the ones with carburetors.
