What Causes Power Loss After Removing the Air Filter?

[LaAndres]

Power loss after removing the air filter may be caused by poor-quality replacement air filters, insufficient engine air intake, resulting in reduced vehicle power. Below is relevant information about air filters: 1. Working Principle: During operation, the engine needs to intake a large amount of air. If the air is not filtered, suspended dust particles in the air can be drawn into the cylinders, accelerating wear on the piston group and cylinders. Larger particles entering between the piston and cylinder can cause severe "cylinder scoring," particularly in dry and sandy working environments. The air filter, installed in front of the carburetor or intake pipe, filters out dust and sand particles from the air, ensuring sufficient and clean air enters the cylinders. 2. Types of Air Filters: They can be categorized into filtration type, centrifugal type, oil bath type, and composite type.
