How long does the car air filter tube need to be replaced?
The replacement cycle of the automotive air filter is usually recommended after driving approximately 10,000 to 15,000 km or once a year. This recommendation is based on the fact that the main function of the air filter is to filter dust and impurities from the air to ensure that the air entering the engine combustion chamber is more pure, thereby improving the fuel combustion efficiency and protecting the normal operation of the engine. However, the actual replacement cycle is also affected by the vehicle's driving environment and usage habits.
In a better driving environment, the replacement cycle of the air filter is generally replaced after driving about 20,000 kilometers.
If the vehicle is often driven in harsh environments (such as construction sites, desert areas), it is recommended to replace the air filter every 10,000 kilometers.
In dusty environments, such as construction sites, it may be necessary to check the air filter every 3,000 kilometers, and if the filter is already dirty, it should be replaced in time.
For vehicles that frequently travel on highways, the replacement cycle can be extended to approximately once every 30,000 kilometers driven.
For vehicles driving in urban or rural areas, the replacement cycle is usually between 10,000 and 50,000 kilometers.
In addition, regular inspection and maintenance are also key measures to ensure the performance of the vehicle. It is recommended to consult the relevant provisions in the vehicle maintenance manual before maintenance to determine the most suitable air filter replacement cycle for your vehicle .
The principle of automobile air filter
The principle of automotive air filters is mainly to filter and separate liquid water and liquid oil droplets in the compressed air, and filter dust and solid impurities in the air, but can not remove gaseous water and oil.
The working principle of automobile air filter mainly includes the following aspects:
filtration principle : Through a specific structure and material, the liquid water and oil droplets in the compressed air are separated, while the dust and solid impurities in the air are filtered. This filtration method does not remove gaseous water and oil.
particle removal technology : mainly includes mechanical filtration, adsorption, electrostatic dust removal, anion and plasma method and electrostatic electret filtration. Mechanical filtration mainly captures particles through direct interception, inertial collision, Brown diffusion mechanism and other ways, which has a good collection effect on fine particles but large wind resistance. In order to obtain high purification efficiency, the filter element needs to be dense and replaced regularly. Adsorption is to use the large surface area and porous structure of the material to capture particle pollutants, but it is easy to block, and the removal effect of gas pollutants is significant.
Structure and working mode : the structure of the air filter includes an inlet, a baffle, a filter element and other parts. The air flows into the air from the inlet and is guided by the baffle to produce a strong rotation, using the role of centrifugal force to separate the liquid water, oil droplets and large impurities mixed in the air. These impurities are thrown onto the inner wall and then flow to the bottom of the glass. The filter element effectively isolates or adheres dust particles in the air through paper or other materials to ensure the cleanliness of the air.
To sum up, the automotive air filter effectively filters and separates impurities in the compressed air through its specific structure and material, provides clean air for the engine, thus protecting the engine from damage and ensuring the normal operation of the car .
