Air Cleaner Assemblies for trucks and semis

Air cleaner assemblies, also known as air filter assemblies, are one of the main parts of the air intake system in every truck and semi. They are responsible for maintaining engine performance at an optimal level, improving fuel efficiency, and reducing wear by filtering out dust, dirt, and debris that might otherwise enter the engine’s combustion chamber.

The right maintenance of your air cleaner assembly, including regular inspection and replacement of the air filter parts, is crucial to make sure your truck runs properly. A clogged or damaged air filter can restrict airflow, leading to reduced engine power and potential malfunction.

How is the Air Cleaner Assembly built?

The air cleaner assembly is a complex system, built out of multiple parts. The outer casing of the assembly is called the air filter housing, and is responsible for holding the air filter in place. It’s designed to provide a sealed environment to make sure unfiltered air does not bypass the filter and enter the engine.

Inside, the air filter is responsible for cleaning out contaminants from the incoming air. It’s usually made out of plated paper, foam, or synthetic materials that easily tap unwanted particles. The filtered air is channeled through ducts and hoses into the engine’s intake system. The assembly also requires a range of fasteners, clamps, and sensors for proper functioning.

Keep your truck running well - maintain your Air Cleaner Assembly

Routinely check your air cleaner assembly for any signs of damage or wear, such as cracks, loose connections, or broken seals. Excessive dirt buildup might also be a sign that your assembly requires maintenance. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations and replace any worn air filter elements to keep your truck safe.
