1. Cabin AC Air Filters’ Function

Filters solid impurities such as dust, pollen, and particulate matter in the air to ensure clean air entering the cabin.

It absorbs harmful gases and odors in the air, such as soot, ozone, SO2, CO2, etc., to improve air quality.

It intercepts pollen to prevent drivers and passengers from having allergic reactions that may affect driving safety.

It ensures that the air in the cab is clean and does not breed bacteria, creating a healthy environment.

It prevents dust suspended in the air from being sucked into the cylinder, protecting the engine and air conditioning system from damage.

2. Types for cabin AC air filters

There are many types of automotive air conditioning filters, the following three common ones:

Ordinary filter paper type air conditioning filter element: The filter layer is made of ordinary filter paper or non-woven fabric. The white filament non-woven fabric is folded to form pleats of a certain thickness to achieve air filtration.

Activated carbon filter element: Based on the ordinary filter paper type air conditioning filter element, activated carbon component is added, which can more effectively absorb harmful gases and odors in the air.

HEPA air conditioning filter element: High-efficiency particulate air filter, the filtration efficiency of particles with a diameter of 0.3 microns can reach more than 99.97%. It is one of the best air conditioning filter elements on the market.

3. Replacement cycle

The replacement cycle of car air conditioning filters varies depending on factors such as car model, usage environment and driving habits. It is generally recommended to replace the air conditioning filter element once a year or every 10,000 kilometers traveled to ensure its filtration effect.
