Audi GenuinePassenger compartment filters

Even people with allergies can breathe easy – the role of the passenger compartment filters is to absorb impurities in the air and remove pollutants from the outside air entering the passenger compartment. This enhances the efficiency of the air conditioning system. Among passenger compartment filters, a distinction is made between dust and pollen filters and combined activated carbon filters.

Dust and pollen filter

Features
The dust and pollen filter consists of a prefilter for trapping coarse particles and a microfibre layer for trapping particles that can get into the lungs.

Advantages

  • Possible to use fan, even in situations such as driving through a tunnel or in a traffic jam
  • Reduced misting up of windows
  • Nearly 100% of all harmful substances such as soot, grit and industrial dust are filtered
  • People with allergies can breathe easy: Pollen, spores and bacteria can be better kept at bay

Activated carbon filter

Features
The filter consists of three layers. The first layer is the prefilter for filtering out coarse particles from the air. The second layer is a microfibre layer. It removes from the air the tiny particles that can get into the lungs. The third layer, which is separated off from the first two protective layers, is the activated carbon layer. It subsequently filters out unpleasant gases and odours better.
The larger the filter area, the better. This requires an ingenious folding technique to be deployed. For daily use, it is also essential that the filter has a high degree of resistance (to high/low temperatures, humidity and chemicals such as road salt, etc.). This will also ensure a long service life.

Advantages

  • Possible to use fan, even in situations such as driving through a tunnel or in a traffic jam
  • Reduced misting up of windows
  • Nearly 100% of all harmful substances such as soot, grit and industrial dust are filtered.
  • Ozone, which is harmful to the human body, is converted into oxygen.
  • People with allergies can breathe easy: Pollen, spores and bacteria can be better kept at bay.
  • The activated carbon filter layer binds odours, harmful gases and ozone in the pores.
