The
cabin air filter is a high particulate filtration medium that goes that
is attached to the outside air intake of your vehicle's ventilation
system.
This device helps to improve air quality and filter out
pollution from the air that circulates inside the vehicle. Most air
filters are made from a pleated paper construction, using a variety of
different filtration media.
Some are a cotton and paper blend, while
others are basically extremely miniaturized paper filters similar to the
air filter of your car's intake system. There are some that are just a
formed and shaped cotton filter in a cartridge.
A
cabin air filter is used to clean incoming air for the car’s air
conditioning system. It is advisable to install a cabin air filter in
your car as it helps to trap pollen, bacteria, dust, and exhaust gases
that may find their way into your car’s air conditioning system.
As a
result, this will make the interior of your car a healthier place and is
capable of protecting the passengers inside your car.
You
need to change the cabin air filter in your car periodically as a dirty
cabin air filter can cause your car’s air conditioning system to run
less efficiently, which will waste horsepower.
Additionally, a dirty
cabin air filter will also decrease the amount of air flow into the
passenger compartment. Both of these conditions will result in higher
temperatures in the passenger compartment and your car’s air
conditioning system having to work harder than it really needs to.
Generally
speaking, most car manufacturers recommend that the cabin air filter
should be changed at least once a year or every 12,000 to 15,000km.
