air filters product

Clean intake air is essential to ensure the efficient operation of an engine and to prevent premature engine wear. Any abrasive particles such as dirt, grit, salt and soot entering the engine will mix with the engine oil. This result in a 'grinding paste' which can rapidly cause expensive damage to engine friction surfaces. The only means of preventing the ingress of harmful contaminants is through the use of efficient and reliable air filters.MANN air filters ensure that the engine receives a sufficient volume of clean air to efficiently maintain the correct air/fuel ratio, while providing an exceptionally high level of protection. An insufficient volume of air will cause ineffective combustion such as increased fuel consumption and performance loss. Electronic components, such as the highly delicate 'hot wire' or 'air mass' sensors located between the air filter and the combustion chamber, also require a high degree of protection in order for them to transmit accurate data to the engine management system. Impaired operation due to damage caused by high velocity contaminants can result in expensive consequences.MANN air filters have other important functions too, such as reduction of intake noise and the regulation of engine air temperature. Important note: All filters have a finite life. To ensure optimum engine protection, filters should be replaced in accordance with the vehicle or engine manufacturers service intervals or recommendations.For further information on MANN-FILTER products, please refer to our Online Catalogue.
