Air filters can be designed as:
Panel air filter
Circular air filter
Cylinder air filter
Usually only the air filter element needs to be replaced because housing is fixed into engine.
FUNCTION
Their objective is to purify the air, so as to obtain a perfect mix with fuel , permitting an efficient combustion.
Air filter elements prevent also the premature wear and breakage of the engine components retaining the impurity as abrasive dust, dirt, etc.
WHEN SHOULD THE AIR FILTER BE REPLACED
Following the vehicle manufacturer recommendation; Muller Filter advises to replace air filter at least once per year and however check the filter cleanliness every oil change.
DELAYED OR MISSED REPLACEMENT CAUSES
- wear of valves, cylinders, rings, rockers and bearings
- difficult starting caused from irregular combustion
- decreased throttle response
- high consume
- less engine power
HOW DOES IT WORK?
The engine aspirates the air through a Filter element situated between
carburettor/ injection system and Air Intake.
Depending on its cubic capacity, an engine could consume between 200 and 500 m3 of air per hour.
The filter element is inserted in a plastic housing sited under the car hood. Normally, Air Filter is produced with Pleated Paper media surrounded , for all his border line, from a polyurethane gasket . However other media type are used in accordance to Filtration Efficiency required.
The plastic air filter Housing avoid contact with water and it contains a temperature control sensor that regulates the Intake Air temperature , optimising the combustion efficiency.
FILTERING MEDIA
Usually the air filter elements are manufactured with cellulose filtering media. Faithfully following the specifications of the vehicle manufacturers, Muller Filter uses several different types of filtering media to produce its air filters.
Dedicated to resolve the strict efficiency requirements of New Injection systems , Muller Filter has manufactured a new generation of high efficiency air filter using new multi layer media, reinforced with synthetic material.
This particular media is produced to pair one or more synthetic melt-blown media layers on one distinctive paper media layer, guarantying greater dirt holding capacity, higher efficiency, and improved water emulsion removal characteristics.
protection from dust and dirt, preventing damage to valves, cylinders, rings, rockers and bearings.
The results are:
- great dirt holding capacity
- high efficiency
- great water separation
The filtration rating is about 10 to 30 microns.
The most relevant technical specifications of filtering media:
Technical Specifications Minimum Maximum
Grammage (grs./m²); 100 195
Maximum Pore (µ) 50 110
Micron Rating 90% (µ) 15 45
