What is a Cabin Air Filter?

Dec 21, 2016

The cabin air filter is a high particulate filtration medium that goes that is attached to the outside air intake of your vehicle's ventilation system. Which is also named vehicle filter paper. This device helps to improve air quality and filter out pollution from the air that circulates inside the vehicle. Most air filters are made from a pleated paper construction, using a variety of different filtration media. Some are a cotton and paper blend, while others are basically extremely miniaturized paper filters similar to the air filter of your car's intake system. There are some that are just a formed and shaped cotton filter in a cartridge. The cabin air filter is sometimes confused with an internal combustion air filter. The internal combustion air filter is the filter under your hood that prevents particles from getting into the engine. A driver may encounter the internal combustion air filter as a service recommendation at an oil change shop. That’s because if the air filter gets clogged or otherwise compromised, it can affect engine performance.

It's important to recognize the distinction between these two very different types of air filters. When buying cabin air filters, you're looking for something that’s going to help improve the air that you will be breathing as a driver or passenger in the vehicle. It’s not so much part of the vehicle's performance gear as a health and safety device. Drivers can consider buying "green air filters" that are more sustainable and include more attention to what the inhabitants of a vehicle will be breathing.
