Filters 40 www.aftermarketonline.net NOVEMBER 2024 Breathing easy in the cabin To provide the vehicle’s occupants with the best possible environment and a better driving experience, good cabin air quality is just as important as an efficient and well performing engine. In addition to ensuring the peak performance of the air conditioning (AC) system, premium quality cabin filters also safeguard the health and wellbeing of the vehicle’s occupants. These filters and filtration systems work hard to prevent airborne particles such as dust, pollutants, pollens and other allergens from entering the cabin and distracting the driver. In particular, they prevent particulates from entering the heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system. DENSO’s cabin filtration systems have been developed to OE quality standards with advanced technologies, easy-fit design and long-life efficiency to allow them to stand up to the rigours of everyday use. The cabin filter has now become an all-year-round replacement requirement, particularly as using the HVAC system, whatever the season, is finally being accepted as not only the best course of action for the well-being of the vehicle’s occupants, but also for the performance and longevity of the complete AC system. DENSO Aftermarket offers two types of cabin air filter: standard particle filters and combination filters, which have an additional, activated charcoal layer located inside the filtration material. DENSO particle filters are manufactured using a high-quality non-woven fleece material that has up to five individual layers, which offer exceptional protection from dust, soot, pollen and particles. They also feature a high-capacity dust-holding chamber that keeps pollutants away from the vehicle’s interior and minimises air flow resistance. DENSO combination filters are even more effective, blocking particles that are 1,000 times smaller than a human hair and capable of removing up to 25% more major pollutants than standard cabin filters, trapping almost 100% of dust, pollen and solid particles before they can be inhaled.

The new module allows a concentration of technologies that integrate both the filter and the diesel pre-filter in the same component. Its main innovations include the very high separation performance of water from diesel fuel that reaches up to 96% and is achieved by the pre-filter module. This water can then be discharged separately from the diesel fuel via an automatic system operated from the vehicle’s cab. The module also uses lightweight materials including aluminium and technical polymers (such as polyamide) to contribute to reducing the overall weight of the vehicle. The module is also equipped with a thermostatic valve, a non-return valve and two valves to facilitate service operations, developed and manufactured by UFI. In addition, a suite of high-tech pressure and temperature sensors measure the working conditions of the different circuits. The pre-filter is made with the synthetic filter media FormulaUFI. Extreme coupled with a hydrophobic inner septum, so that a water separation capacity of up to 96%, according to ISO 16332, is guaranteed. The filter, which has the function of separating the finest particles, is made of FormulaUFI.Stratiflex filter material, a combination of melt-blown and cellulose, which achieves a filtration capacity of 98% at 4 microns, according to ISO 19438. For FPT Industrial Cursor XC13 engines, UFI also supplies a new rotary type blow-by filter, developed as an evolution of existing products. Automatic water drainage: Diesel fuel is filtered in two stages, both of which are handled by the new integrated UFI Filters module. The pre-filtration cartridge removes larger contaminating particles from the diesel fuel, together with water, which is often present in the fuel distribution network. The UFI pre-filter module, thanks to the filtering material in FormulaUFI. Extreme coupled with a hydrophobic candle inside the cartridge, is able to separate up to 96% of the water present in the diesel fuel, which is collected in the tank at the bottom of the pre-filter. This feature is an important innovation that has been introduced by UFI in the Cursor XC13 engine. Visit https://www.ufifilters.com/en for details.
