The greater the awareness for good air, the greater the demand for further cabin air filter solutions in private vehicles. The micronAir F+ filter, which has been developed for the Chinese market, provides more than clean air.
Variants with an integrated activated carbon layer adsorb unpleasant odors and harmful gases, such as ozone. Functional layers such as those in the micronAir proTect line can also intercept allergens to improve the well-being of those with hay fever. Yet people’s demands increase with technological progress and now extend beyond purely health concerns. And this is exactly why the micronAir F+ filter was conceived.
The principle is as simple as it is ingenious: a slim container bar is inserted over the folded filter medium at the center of the filter element. This container makes it possible to store functional substances such as aromatic substances, drying agents, or antibacterial agents. It is, however, also theoretically possible to build in a sensor. The filter, patent pending, can be expanded to include a specific function without influencing its other properties. The name F+ stands for the functional plus points that this filter offers.
Now we have provided matching fragrances for the F+ filter and users can select their favorite ones. The fragrance is activated by the air intake and diffuses throughout the car interior when the air conditioning is running. This is particular pleasant for passengers if the vehicle is part of a car-sharing fleet, if the local air quality is poor, or if pets regularly travel in the vehicle. The advantage over other fragrance solutions is that the scent is distributed evenly throughout the vehicle, so the benefit can be felt by every passenger.
The new micronAir F+ is proof that future filters will be judged not only on their filtration performance, but also their additional functions. These could include anything from individual fragrance or hygiene systems to intelligent monitoring solutions. One thing is clear: cabin air filters will in future become multi-functional components that enjoy greater regard from customers.
