The engine airbox, also known as an air cleaner housing or air filter housing, is a component of a vehicle's air intake system. Its primary function is to filter the air entering the engine, removing dust, debris, and other contaminants before they can reach sensitive engine components.
The airbox typically contains the air filter, which traps particles from the incoming air, preventing them from entering the engine and causing damage. It also helps to ensure that only clean, filtered air enters the engine combustion chambers, optimizing fuel combustion and engine performance.
Modern airboxes are designed to be easily accessible for maintenance and filter replacement, allowing vehicle owners to ensure that their engines receive a steady supply of clean air for efficient operation. Regular inspection and replacement of the air filter are essential for maintaining optimal engine performance and longevity.
