K&N Cabin Air Filters Provide Allergen Filtration and HVAC Performance
- Apr 7, 2016
If you wanted to air condition your car in the 1930's, you'd fill a big metal cylinder with water, and hang it over the passenger side window. As you drove down the road, air would flow into this 'evaporative air conditioner' and the water inside would cool the air before it dribbled into the cabin through a small vent. These "swamp coolers" weren't very effective by today's standards, but having mildly-less-hot "conditioned" air must have been really 'cool' at the time. Fast forward nearly a century, and automotive HVAC systems can "condition" the air to virtually any temperature, without using water. Many high-spec road warriors like the Chevy Venture, Oldsmobile Silhouette, Pontiac Montana, Buick Rendezvous, Buick Terraza, and Pontiac Aztec, also have filtered ventilation systems that can remove dirt and allergens from the air, before it ever leaves the vents. But if you don't change that cabin filter, all of that mold, pollen and dirt gets re-circulated back through the passenger compartment. Needless to say, you'll be inhaling contaminated air that can aggravate your allergies, and even harm your gas mileage. The K&N VF2046 Cabin Air Filter provides a permanent solution to these problems, and it's designed to be the last HVAC filter that you'll have to buy.
K&N introduced the world's first reusable high-flow cotton gauze air filter in 1969, and has remained at the forefront automotive filtration technology ever since. The K&N VF2046 Cabin Air Filter is the product of nearly 5 decades of air filter R&D, and it contains innovations that you just won't find in an OE cabin filter. The synthetic filter media for example, is designed to exceed the OEM HVAC airflow requirements, while simultaneously providing outstanding filtration efficiency. This means a K&N cabin filter can trap many of the airborne contaminants that pass through it, while still allowing great airflow. The electrostatically charged filter material keeps those dirt particles trapped in its multiple layers until you clean it. These filters can typically go for 12-months/12,000 miles between cleanings, but if you need to freshen the air after a dusty drive or heavy pollen season, just pop off the access panel inside the glove box, and clean both filters using the K&N Cabin Air Filter Refresh Kit. During development, the K&N VF2046 Cabin Air Filter underwent numerous ISO 5011 filtration efficiency tests. This allowed engineers to fine-tune the filter design, so it could perform up to K&N standards of airflow and filtration efficiency. These tests demonstrated the filter's ability to remove and contain dirt and dust particles, along with allergens like pollen, mold, mildew, fungus, spores, germs, and bacteria. Once the performance had been verified, the K&N VF2046 filter was granted the K&N 10-Year/Million Mile Limited Warranty and put into production. So if your Chevy, Olds, Buick, Saturn or Pontiac minivan/crossover needs more than just a $0.99 air freshener, K&N can solve your HVAC air quality issues, without anything dangling from your rear-view mirror. In addition to these reusable cabin filters, K&N makes an entire line of products that can improve the performance and efficiency of your Venture, Uplander, Silhouette, Montana, Aztec, Rendezvous, Tarraza or Saturn Relay.
