Filters: operating principle, malfunctions, repair and replacement
Filters are elements designed to clean the working medium of dirt, moisture, and wear products. They ensure efficient operation of the system they are used in, and protect its components from deterioration.
Main types
By intended purpose:
- Air.They remove dust, pollen, soot particles and other impurities from the air coming into the engine.
- Oil.They clean oil of soot, metal swarf, suspended particles, corrosion products.
- Fuel.They trap sand, dirt, rust and paint particles, and sometimes moisture as well, which may be contained in fuel.
- Cabin.They prevent dust and pathogens from getting inside the vehicle, and also absorb harmful gases.
- Hydraulic.They are used in transmissions, power steering, and other systems.
- Filter driers.They can be found in air conditioners and pneumatic braking systems of commercial vehicles. They are designed to trap moisture and impurities.
Operation specifics of filters
Most of the products used in modern cars are made of special paper or synthetic unwoven fabrics. As a rule, they provide mechanical filtration: due to its porous structure, the filtering element lets air or service fluid pass through to let the impurities settle on the surface of pleats of the filter. The exceptions are high flow air filters, as their operating principle is based on the physical property of impurities to deviate from the main airflow, carbon cabin filters which have an adsorption layer, and filter driers as they absorb moisture due to the presence of adsorbent.
Most common malfunctions
- Reduced performance of the product, which may be caused by failure to replace it in due time, driving in dusty areas, use of poor-quality service fluids.
- Deformed or torn filtering element is most often the result of low quality of this component.
- Loss of tightness of the housing or seals, which may be caused by an accident.
Proven ways to extend the service life of the components
In order to maintain the efficiency of the component for a long time, one should only use high-quality oils and hydraulic fluids and fill up with fuel at trusted stations. Poor-quality products may contain a lot of impurities. You should be careful when using various additives: components contained in them can damage seals or lead to corrosion of the system components, thus, leading to quick filter clogging. It is also advisable to prevent your engine from overheating and regularly flush the lubrication and cooling systems, etc.
What you should know about repairing filters
These components belong to the consumables and cannot be repaired. Moreover, it is very important to replace them in due time as their condition directly affects the performance of many assemblies and components.
