Air Filter is a vital engine component designed to clean the air entering the engine by trapping dust, dirt, and debris. It ensures that only clean, filtered air mixes with fuel for combustion, which is crucial for engine performance and longevity.
Key Functions
Filters incoming air: Removes dust, pollen, and contaminants before they reach the engine.
Improves combustion: Allows clean airflow for better fuel burning and engine efficiency.
Protects engine components: Prevents dirt particles from damaging cylinders, pistons, and valves.
Types
Paper/Cellulose Filters – Economical and widely used.
Foam Filters – Washable and suitable for dusty conditions.
