Cabin filter car
The effect of the cabin filter is to prevent the impurities contained in the air (fine particles, pollen, bacteria, industrial exhaust gas and dust) from entering the air conditioning system and destroying the air conditioning system, providing a good air environment for the occupants in the car, and protecting the people in the car. For good health, there is also to prevent glass from fogging.
Classification
Ordinary cabin filters are generally made of a specific environmentally friendly filter material after processing and folding, mostly white single layer. The activated carbon series cabin filter is an activated carbon filter cloth made of non-manufactured cloth (non-woven fabric) on both sides with tiny particles of activated carbon sandwiched in the middle, and then deep-processed into an cabin filter. The car cabin filter is generally installed in the lower glass warehouse in front of the co-pilot compartment of the car. The owner can also replace it according to his own conditions, because its disassembly and operation process are very simple; it can also be repaired in the sales of the car. The 4S shop is replaced by the staff in the shop.
Ordinary cabin filters can only inhibit the ingress of dust and particles. Activated carbon series cabin filters can utilize the physical properties of granular activated carbon to absorb air in a short period of time when the air is blocked. Other tiny objects and more harmful substances. So for comparison, the effect of activated carbon series cabin filter is much better than ordinary filter. The replacement time and cycle of the cabin filter is generally to be replaced when the car is driving 8000-10000 kilometers, and it can also be determined according to the external environment of the driving. If the environment is dry and humid, the weather is dry all year round, and the wind and sand are heavy, it should be replaced in advance.
The relationship between cabin filter and air conditioning system
The relationship between the cabin filter and the air-conditioning system, if an abnormality in the air-conditioning system is found, the factors that should be comprehensively considered are:
1. The air conditioner has been opened to a large enough position, but the air output for cooling or heating is very small. If the air conditioner system is normal, the reason may be that the cabin filter used has poor ventilation, or the cabin filter has been used for too long , Not replaced in time.
2. The air blown out of the air conditioner has a peculiar smell. The reason may be that the air conditioner system has been used for too long, and the internal system and the cabin filter are caused by damp and mold. It is recommended to clean the air conditioner system and replace the cabin filter.
3. Even if the cabin filter has just been replaced, the peculiar smell of the air from the outside and the inside cannot be removed even if the internal circulation is turned on. The reason is that the ordinary type cabin filter may be used. It is recommended to use an activated carbon series cabin filter. The type and material of the cabin filter on the market depend on the original cabin filter configured when the car is shipped. To put it simply, it is what kind of cabin filter is installed in which car when it leaves the factory. Then the after-sales market has a relatively large number of cabin filters that are the same as the factory; because this needs to consider the acceptance of consumers. In fact, whether it is an ordinary cabin filter or an activated carbon series cabin filter, the size of the filter installed on the same model of the same year is the same, so consumers can completely dispel their worries and don’t have to worry about matching them. Different psychology that will have negative effects, you can rest assured to choose the type you like.
Researchers from the Hannover Medical School in Germany found that car air conditioning systems can remove more than 80% of bacteria, fungal spores and particulates from outside the car, which is beneficial for people with respiratory diseases and allergic symptoms. However, the researchers also emphasized that the air-conditioning system in the test subject has been properly maintained and maintained, and the gas filter is regularly replaced. (The cabin filter here refers to the cabin filter used in car air-conditioning, which is what we usually call it. Yes, pollen filter, car cabin filter, air-conditioning filter, air-conditioning filter element, air-conditioning grid and other popular names). They advise vehicle owners to check the air conditioning system as soon as possible when they smell a suspicious smell.
How to clean the cabin filter
If the filter is very dirty, use compressed air to clean it from the bottom up.
Keep the air gun and filter at 5 cm (centimeters), and blow at 500 kPa (kPa) for about 2 minutes.
If the cleaning effect cannot be achieved, please ask the dealer for cleaning.
The air-conditioning system of a car is a relatively complex system. The cabin filter can be said to be the most important air-conditioning component. It mainly cleans up the air dust, pollen, bacteria and other issues. These mainly affect the interior of the air-conditioning system. create pollution. In the maintenance process of the refrigeration system of the air conditioner, the cabin filter must be thoroughly cleaned. The air duct can be used for dust removal. If the cabin filter cannot be effectively cleaned, the owner can replace the cabin filter. Cleaner.
Maintenance of cabin filter
Check and replace the cabin filter according to the maintenance plan. In dusty or heavy traffic areas, it may need to be replaced in advance.
If the airflow of the vent is significantly weakened, the filter may be clogged. Check the filter and replace it if necessary.
In order to prevent damage to the system, please make sure that the filter is installed. If the air conditioner system is used without the filter, the system may be damaged.
Do not clean the filter with water.
