What is the difference between an air filter and a cabin filter? ——The consequences of not changing the dirt
1. The air conditioner filter element, if you blow it dirty and continue to use it, it will first affect the air output. If the air volume is small, the cooling effect of the air conditioner will be poor. Secondly, when it is dirty, it will breed a little bacteria and mold, and it will affect our health after blowing it out. Finally, because there is a lot of dirt, some impurities will always enter the air duct through the filter element, and then go to the evaporation box along the air duct. The structure of the evaporation box is similar to that of the water tank, so the dirt will adhere to the evaporation box. Too much will block the evaporation box, and the cooling effect will be greatly reduced. If you want to repair, you can only clean the evaporation box. If it cannot be cleaned without disassembly, it may need to be disassembled and cleaned, and the workload will be very heavy.
2. If the air filter element is dirty, it will affect the air intake and the amount of air entering the engine will be insufficient. Insufficient air intake will cause various problems, such as incomplete combustion, increased carbon deposits, increased fuel consumption, reduced power, and so on. If it is particularly dirty, some impurities, dust, sand, etc. will enter the cylinder through the filter element, which will increase the wear and tear of the cylinder. If it is a turbocharged car, it will also increase the wear and tear of the supercharger. Therefore, turbocharged vehicles must pay attention to frequent replacement of air filters. The air filter elements of many turbocharged cars are different from those of self-priming cars. They are larger, have better filtering effects, and are more expensive, so they do not necessarily need to be replaced.
