The "pollen" cabin filter

This filter stops particles smaller than 1 micron such as bacteria, pollen and exhaust fumes. The “Stop-Pollen” effect even the smallest allergenic particles that can get into the lungs, often causing asthma and allergies. Minute particles are not always filtered by the mucous membranes of the rhino-pharyngeal region or by the nose hairs and they have particularly harmful effects on health. Therefore, the role of the “pollen” cabin filter is fundamental for the Comfort and Health of the driver and the passengers.

Why is a Cabin Air Filter necessary ?

The Cabin Filter protects the motorist and passengers from any pollution which penetrates and concentrates within the cabin.

The PURFLUX know-how

In order to improve the comfort of the occupants in the vehicle cabins, two types of filters have been developed by Purflux, satisfying the various manufacturers’ specifications:

- The Cabin "Pollen" Filter retains particles smaller than 1 micron size, such as air borne pollens, bacteria or exhaust fumes.

- The Active-Carbon Cabin Filter retains not only particles and gases but also stops unpleasant smells that may be encountered during driving.

PURFLUX sets its own test levels, approved by the highest quality standards.

Why change the Cabin Filter?

As a result of the filter’s performance in stopping particles, its pressure drop, i.e. its restriction of airflow, increases to a limiting value corresponding to the end of its useful life. A cabin filter which is regularly changed contributes to the well-being of the motorist and that of his passengers:

- cleanness inside the cabin (reduction in the level of dust and bacteria)

- protection of air-conditioning components

- passenger comfort

When should you change the Cabin Filter?

The filter has to be replaced at optimum intervals, so that the accumulation of pollutant particles will not cause a pressure drop ,incompatible with satisfactory operation of the vehicle’s ventilation system. This condition can be recognised by a loss in ventilation flowrate and difficulty in keeping the windows clear.

It is important to adhere to the manufacturer’s recommendation, changing the Cabin Filter generally every 15,000 km. PURFLUX recommends changing the filter at least once per year, particularly in environments with a high pollution potential (e.g city areas).
