The main function of an air filter

The function of the air filter: 1.

1. The engine needs to draw in a large amount of air during operation.
2. If the air is not filtered, the dust suspended in the air will be sucked into the cylinder, accelerating the wear of the piston group and the cylinder.
3. If larger particles enter between the piston and the cylinder, it will cause a serious "cylinder pulling" phenomenon, which is particularly severe in a dry and sandy working environment.

5.2. The air filter is installed in front of the carburetor or intake pipe, which can filter out dust and sand in the air to ensure that sufficient clean air enters the cylinder. Among the thousands upon thousands of automotive parts, the air filter is a very unremarkable component because it has no direct relation to the technical performance of the car.

However, in the actual use of automobiles, the air filter has a significant impact on the service life of the car, especially the engine.

On the one hand, without the filtering function of the air filter, the engine would draw in a large amount of air containing dust and particles, causing severe wear to the engine cylinders. On the other hand, if the air filter is not maintained for a long time during use, the filter element of the air filter will be covered with dust in the air. This not only reduces the filtering capacity but also hinders the circulation of air, resulting in excessive mixture and abnormal engine operation.

Therefore, regular maintenance of the air filter is of vital importance.
