About air filter
A clean engine is highly crucial as it always functions with greater efficiency than the dirty one. There is no doubt in the fact that the air filter of a vehicle is the first line of defense of the engine that allows for clean air to enter the engine or ignition chamber. The air filters play a vital role in the combustion process of the engine. It also aids in avoidance of airborne pollutants like dirt, dust and leaves from getting pulled and damaging the car engine components.
What is the purpose of air filter?
The air filters serve the vital function of preventing the entry of dust, dirt and other contaminants to the engine. The air filter gets dirty and stuck as time passes, and may need a replacement.
How air filter works?
The engine inhales a lot of air, and expels it. Thus the air filter performs the task of treating and refining the air that passes through the intake of air into the engine cylinder. The filter is made from porous materials and serves as a sieve for filtering out incoming particles and separating the air molecules from the impurities. Although the crud stays trapped in the filter membrane, the air molecules move through. The air filters are positioned in a large plastic box in the engine bay in almost all modern vehicles, while the air filter is a unit of the carburetor housing in the carburetor cartridge engines and mounted right 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 those with carburetors.
