An air filter has to clean the air from harmful particles and prevent engine wear. By mixing coarse and fine media fibres it is possible to obtain exactly the desired cleaning efficiency and capacity.
Advantages of genuine Volvo air filters:
- filter media of special type that gives higher
cleaning efficiency and less engine wear
- large filtration area that gives high dust
capacity and prevents early clogging
- fixed filter media that reduces the risk of
leakage and, in the long run, engine failure
- elastic lip seal or rubber seal eliminate the
introduction of polluted air, which reduces
engine wear
Safety filters
Efficient air cleaning is vitally important for the operating reliability and service life of an engine. In addition to the main filters, the air-cleaning system includes a safety filter that does not perform any cleaning under normal conditions. However, if the main filter is damaged so that particles can pass through it, the safety filter efficiently traps these contaminants.
