Yong Air-Cond: 汽车冷气空气过滤网 Car air conditonal Air Filter

现今的汽车，都需要放入空气过滤网（air filter)。它的主要功能是成为蒸发器(cooling coil/evaporator)的保护层，不让灰尘进入蒸发器，以减低蒸发器损坏或肮脏的情况。如今汽车维修厂售卖一个过滤网大约从RM60起（依车款式而定）。可是，较新颖的车子一旦检查出蒸发器肮脏了（会减低冷气的出风量，从而感觉冷气不冷）或蒸发器损坏了（导致冷媒泄露），维修人员就必须将整个驾驶盘，收音机/音响，及冷气操控盘（control board) 拆下，以取出置在内部的蒸发器进行维修或更换。整个过程须用上4 到6个小时。如果只须清洗，就得花上RM300起的费用。如果蒸发器损坏了，那就必须更换新的，费用大约从RM700起（依车款式而定）。所以，从消费者的角度来看，安装一个空气过滤网是比较实际的做法。一个空气过滤网能用上2至3 年，只要大约6个月把它取出并清楚上面的灰尘，就可以为蒸发器进行一成保护，延长蒸发器的寿命。

Nowadays, the new model cars need to install an air conditional air filter. It's main function is to be a protect layer for the cooling coil. It prevents the dust from entering the cooling coil. This can prevent the damage of cooling coil and also prevent the cooling coil from dirty. Normally, the price of an air filter selling by the car service center is around RM60 plus (depends on the car model). But，if the car found out that the cooling coil is dirty already (reduce the wind blowing out from the blower) or the cooling coil has damaged (gas leaking from cooling coil), the mechanicians have to take out the control board including the steering, radio/audio system, in order to take out the cooling coil for cleaning or exchanging. The whole process need take around 4 to 6 hours. For cleaning the cooling coil only, it cost around RM300 plus, if exchange the cooling coil with a brand new one, it cost around RM700 plus(depends on car model). From our advise, it is better to install an air filter. An air filter usually can last around 2 to 3 years.We only need to take the air filter out for cleaning the dirt, this simple move can absolutely pro-long the cooling coil life.
