If we are talking about installing additional equipment for the car's interior, many imagine replacing seat covers, buying all kinds of fabric pockets and many other devices that make driving a car even more comfortable. Among the mass of such things, it is worth highlighting a device that increases the level of environmental safety of the driver and his passengers. This is a cabin filter. VAZ 2110, 2114 and many other domestic cars have recently begun to be equipped with such a device at the factory.
This is not an element of tuning or a luxury item, it is a necessary thing that must be present in every modern car. Today we will talk about what a cabin filter is and how it happens.
Why is he needed?
When moving into the vehicle interior from time to time, various substances get in, which certainly do not increase the body's immunity. It can be road dust, dirt, harmful gases, exhausts and much more, which greatly affects a person’s fatigue, as well as his mood. According to experts, the cabin filter can reduce the concentration of nitric oxide, formaldehyde and carbon monoxide in the air to normal. According to the results of research, each car owner inhales 2 times more harmful gases than a pedestrian. That is why a cabin filter must be installed in every car. Over its entire period of operation, it completely eliminates harmful exhausts and dust that should have got inside. In addition, with this device you will not be afraid of dust and dirt, which eventually appears on the dashboard of each car on which the passenger compartment filter is not installed. “Lanos”, “Priora”, “VAZ Kalina” - this is not a complete list of cars on which this device can be installed.
It is also worth noting the fact that with the installation of air purification systems on the car windshield (driver's side), cloudy stains do not appear, which reduce visibility.
Device types
Today there are several types of such devices on sale. Among them, dusty as well as coal species should be distinguished. In the first case, the filter includes synthetic material with antibacterial substances that perfectly cope with dust and fine pollen of plants. The second type has the same design, but with activated carbon, thanks to which carbon dioxide is not formed in the cabin .
Replacement resource
Manufacturers often indicate the exact filter life on the packaging. Usually this figure is equal to the mark of 5-10 thousand kilometers or 6 months of operation of the machine. But here it should be remembered that the replacement resource is 50 percent dependent on the environmental situation of a particular city.
Conclusion
Based on this, we can safely say that the cabin filter is a device that brings real benefits to the driver. And do not save on this device, since a poor-quality purchase will negatively affect your health, which, as you know, can not be bought for any money.
