An air intake filter is a device designed to remove dust, dirt, and other particles from air before it enters an engine or a building’s HVAC system. Its primary function is to protect the equipment, whether it’s an internal combustion engine from being damaged by contaminants or an HVAC system from getting clogged, which helps improve air quality and ensures efficient operation. There are different types of air filters, each suited for specific applications like automotive engines, residential and commercial buildings, or specialized industrial uses.
K&N air intake filter specifications vary by model but typically include dimensions like flange inside diameter, flange length, and filter height, along with material and shape.
