As K&N the filter works. Myths and reality.
At external survey of the filter big openings in the material of the filter are visible is the main reason of high capacity of the stream of air. The filter is executed by layers from the surgical cotton gauze with the oil impregnation clamped between the aluminum grid. The special oil structure being in the cotton gauze does not limit capacity and during too time provides the qualitative filtration of the air stream. It is the basis of unique system of the filtration! Dust particles in the air stream, drawn to the filter, have the negative charge and passing through filtering element (like magnet action) are drawn and join the impregnated cotton gauze having the positive charge. At the big congestion of the detained particles on outer side of the filter of the opening in the gauze fabric remain open. This external level of the dust and sand becomes the secondary element of the filtration of entering particles and high capacity is thus provided. This idle time, but very effective secondary filter – the basis of long service of the filter, in many cases to 10 times more long, than the ordinary filter. 12000 kilometers the filter do not demand service and it is 'norm'. Cleaning is carried out on run or if, the saved-up layer of pollution makes 2mm – 3mm.
Myths about air K&N filters
Exists чень popularly judgment about unsatisfactory ability of the filtration of sports filters at the expense of the reduced resistance to the air stream. It in the root is wrong. Efficiency of the filtration of regular air filters depends on porosity of the material from which they are made. The porosity less, the filtering ability of the element is better. The problem of big resistance consists in it to the air stream.
The greased cotton filters used in K&N function absolutely on another, than regular air system. In production of K&N filters the proved scientific principles which define how the air filter deletes dirt particles from the air current are applied. The first of these principles is known as "interception" which is applied to the particles of dirt traveling with the air current. The air stream will always find the shortest path and as air passes through the fibers of the filter some of particles will contact with fibers and will be grasped". These particles will keep in fibers of the filtering element at the expense of application of special impregnation.
Other principle is known as impaction which mainly influences big or heavier particles of dirt. Impaction is when inertia or the impulse force the particle to deviate the general air stream. In other words, heavy particles do not follow the air current by filter fibers, and instead they get directly to fibers.
The most important principle for development of the K&N filter are laws of physics which operate movement of very small particles of dirt. Small particles are influenced by forces in the air current. For example, forces of high-speed changes, pressure changes, the storm caused by other particles and interaction with air molecules force very small particles to move casually and chaotically, contrary to the main air stream. As result these particles do not follow the air current, and their random motion forces to face filter fibers.
The ordinary paper filter is capable to filter the air stream directly one surface. Unlike ordinary filters the Element K&N has bigger advantage, thanks to the multilayered impregnated surface and the best configuration of the element. This feature allows the air K&N filter to detain bigger quantity of the dust.
What do air filters? Filters clear air before he gets to the engine. The more cold air you can tire out in the engine, the more than a capacity he will give out, provided that the toplivovozdushny mix is optimum. It follows from this that if you replace the standard air filter that can pass bigger amount of air through itself, you will increase motor capacity, and the miracle in it any is not present!
Resistant in relation to moisture and dirt – the Air stream will pass (the filter will breathe) even if the filtering element completely will become soiled or will become wet that it is impossible to tell about polluting particles and moisture they will not pass further buttered impregnation.
The capacity – Even on the standard engine not subjected to completion replacement of the filter by K&N with the minimum aerodynamic resistance of air will give the chance to him is high-grade to breathe. You get the rise in capacity from 5 to 10 h.p. depending on extent of completion of the motor and improve the purge of your engine. For forced and not only engines it is additional possibility ~ on 1 second to improve result of dispersal to 100-@.
Durability – Buying the filter, you are released from need to change its everyone 15000, so, buy it on all life. The filter has the guarantee on 1 600 000 km, washes special structure in case of pollution after 75,000-160,000 and again as new can be used without loss of the initial properties. Besides K&N filters prolong also life to your motor, after all one of the main qualities of the good filter it not to allow hit of the smallest particles in the engine, thanks to the impregnation and the filtering element the filter detains all smallest particles at is greatest possible low aerodynamic resistance, thereby preserves system against the zasor and piston from possible destructions.
Induction noise is that costs, if you the real fan, and for you possibility to listen as your motor – equivalently to music breathes.
K&N is sports air filters requirements to which by production are very high, after all except Max of protection of the engine against hit in him the smallest particles, sand and the dust, you get also advantage in capacity and dynamics and as possibility to make your bike not similar to others!
