The technical brochure from the KRAFTHAND Practical Know-how series entitled “Modern Filter Systems” describes the various filter applications for modern passenger cars in great detail. The author provides a technical classification of oil, fuel, air, cabin air and special filters and describes the functions of each of these. The brochure also goes into detail about the integration of filter and fluid management modules in the whole vehicle. In the section dedicated to practical aspects in the workshop, the author provides information about the relevant filters and filter systems used in automotive workshops. Change intervals are just as important as correct installation and replacement. The technical brochure is rounded off with background knowledge about filter production, quality control, communication with workshop customers, counterfeit roducts and filters used in motorsport.

“Modern filter systems are playing an increasingly crucial role in vehicle technology. Filtersystems are now required to protect the performance of the engine and the transmission, all while requiring increasingly smaller installation space and ensuring compliance with the emission limits. For example, fuel filters are often neglected by customers. There are also cabin air filters that provide fresh air to the vehicle interior. This brochure is the first publication to successfully present the topic of “filters” in a comprehensive, concise and practical way.
