Can a car temporarily operate without an air conditioning filter?

Yes, but without an air conditioning filter to filter out particles, these particles can enter the cabin, not only contaminating the car's air conditioning system and reducing the performance of the cooling system, but also causing allergic reactions, lung damage, irritation from ozone, and unpleasant odors when inhaled by passengers, all of which can affect driving safety. Below are some precautions regarding car air conditioning filters: If the airflow from the air conditioner significantly decreases, the air conditioning filter may be clogged. First, clean the filter or replace it if necessary. The frequency of cleaning depends on road conditions (such as dusty roads), and it is recommended to clean it sooner rather than later. The air conditioning filter should be correctly installed in its place. Using the air conditioner without the filter may degrade its dust-proof performance and affect the air conditioning system's efficiency.
