Air filters are very important components for all internal combustion engines. Their purpose is to filter out airborne particulates such as dust, pollen, soot, mist and others before they reach the engine. Cleaner air in the combustible mixture (petrol or diesel and air) provides for more efficient combustion and protection of critical engine components such as valves, injectors and sensitive electronic controls.

Contaminated air on the other hand can slowly impair the performance of an engine. Particles taken in by the engine’s fresh-air inlet can damage the metallic interior surfaces of the engine by forming grooves due to friction, and can cause premature wear and eventually failure. It is therefore imperative that all engines regardless of type or function are always equipped with a clean and well-performing air filter. 

 Through extensive research, experts have found that the prime cause of engine wear and failure is engine dirt, which originates from operation of the engine. Airborne dust, soot, microscopic metal par ticles generated inside the engine through friction and contaminants due to oil degradation are carried by the oil through clearances between the various moving parts of the engines and they cause the wear by grinding surfaces, altering clearances and gen erating more abrasive fragments ultimately causing costly precision components to fail altogether. Oil filters play an important role in engine protection by filtering this engine dirt from the circulating oil resulting in better engine life and performance. 

 The fuel entering the combustion chamber of the Internal Combustion Engines is invariably contami nated with dirt, liquid droplets, pollen and rust from storage tanks of the vehicle. Apart from this Indian fuel pumps are known for their lack of maintenance due to which a lot of impurities end up in the engines during re-fuelling. Critical parts of the engine like Injectors, carburettor and the fuel pump get clogged by these impurities. Modern systems such as common rail and pump in jection are severely damaged by these impurities as they cause corrosion, resulting in malfunctioning of the entire system. As a result, the fuel consumption of the engine increases. A well performing fuel filter is critical for reliable protection and performance of the engine.

Water and other solid contaminants wash away coating of high precision injection components. This results in wear, erosion, surface pitting and eventual pressure loss. With the use of fuel/ water separator, a high percentage of water and most of the contaminants are removed from the diesel fuel.

The rapid growth in Indian economy has given a significant boost to the automotive and infrastructure sector. But on the downside the increased number of vehicles and rate of construction has adversely impacted the air quality around us. We are exposed to many of these pollutants through the air entering the interior of the vehicles through the air conditioning and heating systems. The polluted air contains large quantities of dust, pollen, soot and other particles, as well as gases which are harmful to health. A high concentration of pollutants in the air can lead to fatigue, headaches, nausea and allergic reactions. Filters that have not been replaced in time can also cause poor visibility inside the car due to misted-up windows increasing the risk of accidents. Cabin filters have been developed in the last decade and nowadays most cars are fitted with them. The main purpose is to clean the polluted air that enters into the interior of the car thus ensuring a better atmosphere inside the car.
