How Air Filters Keep Your Engine Clean
### The Science Behind Air Filtration: How Air Filters Keep Your Engine Clean #### Technical Overview of Air Filter Operation Air filters are essential components in two-wheelers, ensuring that the engine receives clean air for combustion. Here’s a technical breakdown of how they operate: *Air Intake Process*: - The engine draws air from the environment through the intake system. - This air contains various contaminants such as dust, pollen, dirt, and other particulate matter. *Filtration Mechanism*: - *Filter Media*: The air filter is equipped with a filter media, which can be made of paper, foam, cotton, or synthetic materials. The filter media is designed to trap contaminants while allowing clean air to pass through. - *Physical Filtration*: As air flows through the filter, larger particles are trapped on the surface or within the media’s fibers. - *Electrostatic Attraction*: Some advanced filters use electrostatic charges to attract and capture smaller ...
