The necessity of maintancing air filters
With the environment
polluted heavily, the content of the suspended particle that can be
absorbed in the air becomes more and more higher. If these particles
enter into the Automobile enginer, it will cause a lot of colloidal
material and and tiny wearing particles, which will affect theengine’s
buringsufficiency. And thus enter into the engine’s cylinder and piston,
causing the worn of the related parts of the piston, which decreasing
the performance of the engine While
the function of the air filter is to creat a Filtration barrier before
the air enters to thecylinder , it can prevents the suspended particle
outside thecylinder totally while guaranteesufficient air inflow, which
ensure the engine power won’t damage.
The common misunderstandings of air fitlermaintance
1. Attach little importance to the quality of air filter which purchasing While
many car owners will choose 4S shop when changing air filters, with the
deep understanding of the car structures, it is also quite simple to
change by themselves.No matter changing in the 4S shop or by themselves,
it will refer to buying a new air filter.But
there are many car owners who doesn’t have a r ight understanding of
the function of air filters, they usually choose cheap and bad quality
air filter whosefilter capacityis limited, especially for tiny .suspended
particle and also the physical stability is bad. If used for a long
time, it will cause engine performance decreasing and thus increasing
fuel consumption.
2. tearing downthe air filter when using
Some car owners think
that air filter has little function, when a new car used for a time, the
air filter is blocked completely, they tear down and not change another
one. It may not affect the the performance of automobile engine in a
short time, but for the long run, it will wear the engine seriously.
There are stastics shows that if there is no air filters, the wear rate
will be over eight times, the piston be three times while the piston
ring be nine times.
3. the maintance of the air filter is not flexible
while most car owners
know the importance of changing air filters, but when changing the
filters, they are restricted toCar maintenance operation instruction,
following the milage that they provided to change filters. But as the
pollution level in each city is different, so the related quantity of
suspended particle is different. If in the heavily polluted northern
city, the change and maintance of filter can not be done easily
according to the instruction, usually the car status is obviously
abnormal, so the maintance period should be shortened and improve the
filter quality. This is the right way of mantanice.
