Car air conditioning filter - What is carbon
The carbon materials in the automobile air conditioning filter mainly include activated carbon and carbon fiber, which have significant differences in function and effect.
Activated carbon filter element
The activated carbon filter element adds a layer of highly efficient bamboo carbon layer on the basis of high efficiency filter paper, which can effectively filter PM2.5 and absorb harmful gases such as odor, formaldehyde and benzene in the car. This filter performs particularly well in dusty and hazy environments, but its air output is small and the price is relatively high, usually twice that of ordinary non-activated carbon filter .
The filtration efficiency of activated carbon filter element can reach more than 80% when the particle diameter is 0.3μm, showing its strong adsorption capacity .
Carbon fiber filter element
Carbon fiber is mainly composed of carbon elements, and has the characteristics of high temperature resistance, friction resistance, heat conduction and corrosion resistance. Carbon fiber's low density and high specific strength and modulus make it suitable for applications requiring high strength and durability. With a diameter of just 5 microns, carbon fibers are ideal for use in materials requiring lightweight and high performance .
Selection suggestion
filtration effect : activated carbon filter element has excellent performance in filtering PM2.5 and absorbing harmful gases, which is suitable for the environment with poor air quality. Carbon fiber is suitable for applications requiring high strength and durability.
air output : The air output of the activated carbon filter is small, which may affect the driver's experience, while the air output of carbon fiber is more stable because of its lightweight characteristics.
price : activated carbon filter price is higher, but the function is more comprehensive; The carbon fiber filter element price is relatively low, suitable for users with limited budgets.
The choice of the appropriate air conditioning filter element should be determined according to the specific use environment and needs. If you live in areas with poor air quality, activated carbon filter is a better choice; In areas with better air quality, carbon fiber filters are more economical.
The main function of automobile air conditioning filter element - carbon includes filtering impurities, odors and harmful gases in the air, providing a fresh and healthy air environment. Specifically, carbon-based materials (such as activated carbon) can absorb harmful gases such as PM2.5 particles, odors, formaldehyde, and benzene in the air, significantly improving the air quality in the vehicle .
Advantages and disadvantages of activated carbon air conditioning filter element
Advantages :
excellent filtration performance : activated carbon air conditioning filter element is specially added with high efficiency filter bamboo carbon layer, the filtration efficiency of PM2.5 particles can be up to 90%, and can effectively filter small particles, odors and harmful gases in the air .
strong adsorption capacity : activated carbon has excellent adsorption capacity, can adsorb dissolved organic substances, microorganisms, viruses and some heavy metals, so as to purify the air, to achieve decolorization and deodorization function .
Disadvantages :
limited air output : due to the increase of the filter layer, the activated carbon air conditioning filter element may lead to a decrease in the air output of the air conditioner, for the owners who are used to the traditional filter element, it may take some time to adapt to .
higher price : compared with the traditional air conditioning filter, the price of activated carbon air conditioning filter is much higher, although its excellent filtration effect can improve air quality, but from an economic point of view, the price factor still need to be considered .
How to choose and maintain activated carbon air conditioning filter element
Choose high quality products : high quality activated carbon air conditioning filters usually use highly active activated carbon particles, adsorption capacity is stronger. When purchasing, you can view the parameters and user evaluation of the product to understand its filtering efficiency and service life .
Proper installation : Ensure that the filter element is installed in place and sealed properly to avoid gaps that cause unfiltered air to enter the vehicle. When installing, strictly follow the instructions of the automobile manufacturer .
regular replacement : It is recommended to replace the filter element every 10-20,000 kilometers or about 1 year, and the specific replacement cycle depends on the use of the vehicle environment and air quality. If you often drive in dusty and polluted areas, you need to check and replace more frequently .
