Cabin Air Filter- Only System

Until now, your cabin air filter may be your only defense against air pollutants inside your vehicle. Most drivers rely on it to keep the air inside their car clean.  Let's take a look at the types of pollution you will encounter on the road, how current car cabin filters effectively filter out these pollutants and whether or not cabin filters actually help.  

Most drivers believe that the cabin air filter is their only defense against air pollutants inside their vehicle.

Is that really the case?

 

Management needs to know what types of pollution are inside the car, how effectively taxi cabin filters filter out these pollutants, and whether cabin filters actually help. You'll be surprised to know that a taxi's cabin filter can't help purify the air inside the car.

Bacteria in AC Evaporator

Evaporator core is always damp from condensation. It’s an environmental ideal for breeding mold, fungi and bacteria. Every time you turn on your AC fan, these pollutants enter the car interior unfiltered. There is no air filtration from the evaporator to the air intake entering the vehicle interior.

​Pollen and dust come in from outside and these contaminants become trapped 

Entering from outisde:

​in the cabin air filter as they pass through However, fine particles PM2.5 can pass through standard cabin filters because they are small enough to pass through standard filters.

Passenger Compartment:

The air inside vehicle interior may iclude pollutnqats from three differnt types of sourrces:

  • The out door air: PM2.5 fine dust that passes through the cabin filter enters the vehicle interior unfiltered. 

  • From AC evaporator: Bacteria, mold, gersm and vent odors that emitted from AC Evaporator enters enters the vehicle interior unfiltered. 

  • Passengers and vehicle interior: Viruses from infected passengers, pet dander, dust mites, bacteria on floor carpets and seats.
