Cabin Filter Filtron K1321A

The Filtron K1321A carbon cabin filter is an advanced air filter that effectively improves the air quality inside a vehicle cabin, offering protection not only against solid particles but also harmful gases and fumes. Thanks to its design and the use of activated carbon, this filter provides a higher level of filtration than traditional pollen filters.

Structure and Function of the Carbon Filter

The Filtron K1321A features a special, multi-layered design aimed at providing efficient air purification. It consists of three main filtration layers:

• Outer Layers of Synthetic Nonwoven Fabric:
  These layers are responsible for trapping solid particles, such as dust, plant pollen, mold spores, and other aerosols. They are designed to effectively capture contaminants in the same way as standard pollen filters.

• Activated Carbon Layer:
  Located inside the filter, this layer plays a key role in removing gases and chemical contaminants. The activated carbon has a porous structure that allows it to adsorb harmful gases, such as ozone, hydrocarbons, sulfur compounds, and nitrogen compounds. Thanks to its presence, the Filtron K1321A effectively neutralizes unpleasant odors and gas pollutants.

• High Adsorption Surface Area of Activated Carbon:
  The adsorption capacity of activated carbon is highly efficient, with the surface area of 1 gram of activated carbon reaching up to 900 m². This allows the filter to capture large amounts of harmful gases throughout its entire service life.

Benefits of Using the Filtron K1321A Carbon Filter

• Protection Against Air Pollution:
  The carbon cabin filter effectively removes not only solid particles but also harmful gases and unpleasant odors from the air. This is especially important in cities with high air pollution levels and in vehicles operating near industrial areas.

• Odor Neutralization:
  The activated carbon in the Filtron K1321A filter efficiently absorbs external unpleasant odors, such as smoke, exhaust fumes, and other unwanted aromas that may enter the cabin.

• Health Protection for Passengers:
  By purifying the air of harmful gases like ozone and hydrocarbons, the filter helps minimize the risk of allergies, respiratory infections, and other health issues related to polluted air.

• Durability and Effectiveness:
  The Filtron K1321A filter effectively removes about 90% of harmful gases throughout its service life, making it a highly durable solution.

Operational Recommendations

The cabin filter, including the Filtron K1321A, should be replaced regularly, usually every 15,000 – 20,000 kilometers or once a year, depending on the vehicle’s operating conditions. Like the standard cabin filter, the carbon filter becomes clogged with dust and particles over time, reducing its effectiveness in air purification. Regular replacement ensures that the air entering the cabin remains clean and safe for passengers.
