Donaldson P780018 Air Filter
- An air filter is a component in the air intake system of an internal combustion engine or other air-handling systems. Its primary function is to filter and clean the air that enters the engine, removing particles and contaminants before they can reach sensitive engine components.
- The primary purpose of an air filter is to capture and remove airborne contaminants, such as dust, dirt, pollen, and debris, from the incoming air before it reaches the engine.
- They are typically located in the engine’s air intake system, either within a housing or directly attached to the intake manifold. They are designed to remove particles of various sizes, including both large and small contaminants.
- The air filter contains a filter media, usually made of paper, foam, cotton, or synthetic fibers, with specific filtration properties. They require periodic inspection and replacement as part of routine maintenance to ensure continued effectiveness in protecting the engine and maintaining optimal performance.
