- Four connection holes are incorporated in the frame corners of the clean-air side. Thus the prefilter can simply be plugged onto the already-installed MaxiPleat main filter equipped with black connecting pins. The connecting pins engaged in the main filter cannot be removed. The lugged-on MP 45 KTC prefilter can, however, be easily removed again and replaced. Even while the intake air system is actually running, the prefilter can be quickly and securely replaced.
- Velcro fastenings to the main filter make for increased stability during operation. On request, additional metal clamps are available, for ensuring secure retention in overhead configurations.
- The entire filter element is metal-free and thus non-corroding and fully incinerable.
- The filter cells are moisture-resistant up to 100% rel. humidity and thermally stable up to 70°C, with temporary peaks of up to 80°C possible.
In addition to standard air cleaners with or without cyclone separators, MAHLE also provides customer-specific air filter elements and air filter housings for passenger cars and commercial vehicles. Air filter elements of various types are used for filtering the intake air. Metal-free filter cartridges with efficient filter media and high dust holding capacity guarantee dust efficiency of up to 99.9 percent. Although cellulose media have predominantly been used for filtration in the past, MAHLE has meanwhile introduced new developments aimed at achieving higher efficiency and dust holding capacities. To this end, multi-layer filter materials made from cellulose, meltblown and nanofibers as well as completely synthetic non-woven materials have already been optimized for mass production.
New developments - air cleaners with activated carbon adsorbers
Owing to the statutory requirements of the North American market, HC adsorbers in the air intake are necessary for reducing emissions. In response to this, MAHLE has integrated an activated carbon element in its air cleaner modules. Hydrocarbons are therefore adsorbed which can then escape via the intake system when the engine is switched off.
Assembly in dihedron:
In the case of important flows, the cells type 16 and KNOWN thickness 38 and 50 mm can be gone up in dihedrons. Frontal surfaces are then reduced in a ratio from 3 to 1. The cells type 16 equipping the dihedrons are provided with handles (contrary to the cells KNOWN cut-rate version).
Dihedrons MIOFILTRE are superimposed easily to constitute "plates support" or "boxes".
