Air filters retain impurities aspirated by the engine, ensuring that only clean air reaches the combustion chamber and preventing premature wear of internal moving parts such as: pistons, connecting rods, bearings, bearings and crankshaft.
Air filters are essential for turbines to work. The air in cities and the countryside contains many impurities, such as suspended particles. If these particles are not filtered and enter the engine’s combustion chamber, they cause wear to the pistons, connecting rods, bearings, bearings and crankshaft.
In the heavy-duty line, there is equipment that works with two air filters, the primary and the secondary. The secondary filter performs a second filtration and also has a safety function (retro ignition). The air is filtered through a pleated paper element treated with phenolic resin, which is highly effective at retaining contaminants. The base of the air filter is made of polyurethane to provide a perfect seal. All this guarantees a clean air flow into the engine’s combustion chamber.
Without proper maintenance, the air filter can become saturated, causing increased fuel consumption and the passage of dirty air into the engine. This leads to wear and loss of vehicle performance and can even cause the engine to blow.
Some practices are not recommended, such as blasting or hitting the filter in order to clean it and remove accumulated dust, for they are highly damaging. Not only does this not clean the filter, but it also damages the filtration paper. Never perform such procedures or reuse the air filter. At the time of replacement, a qualified professional should only replace the expired air filter with a new one.
On the other hand, an air filter in good condition provides the following benefits for your engine:
Always follow the recommendations in the vehicle manufacturer’s manual. In conditions of severe use, the change should be made earlier. On heavy-duty vehicles, always check the vacuum restriction gauge and the warning light on the dashboard.
Wega recommends that when changing the oil filter, the condition of the air filter should also be checked and replaced. This will give your engine a longer service life and better performance. Without proper maintenance, the air filter becomes dirty and loses its ability to retain impurities in the air. Check here in our Online Search for the exact Air Filter model for your vehicle.
Saturated air filters lead to increased fuel consumption, loss of power, increased temperatures and black smoke. As dirty air (contaminating elements) enters the engine and the moving parts wear out, the engine’s useful life will decrease, and it may even blow and damage the turbine.
Never clean the air filter, as it loses its technical filtering characteristics when air is sprayed on it. It is always best to replace it. Always clean the filter holders (housing) with a clean cloth before applying the new filter.
