Engine Air Filter WIX FILTERS WA9448

Description:

The engine air filter WA9448 WIX FILTERS is a component of the air intake system that cleans the air entering the engine. It helps protect the engine from dirt, dust, soot and other pollutants.

There are two main types of air filters:
Dry filter - made of paper or synthetic material folded in the form of an accordion. As the filter becomes dirty, its pores become clogged, which reduces the flow of air into the engine.

Wet filter - made of porous paper soaked in oily liquid. The oil helps trap contaminants and prevent them from entering the engine. Wet air filters are commonly used in engines operating in dusty or dirty conditions.

Air filters are usually located in the air filter housing attached to the engine. The filter body is usually made of plastic or metal.

Functions of the engine air filter: Cleans the air entering the engine. Helps protect the engine from premature wear. Increases engine power and saves fuel.
