Nanofiber Technology Offer Longer
Engine Life
Donaldson
Endurance™ Air Filters with exclusive nanofiber technology offer
longer engine life, longer filter life, initial efficiency up to
99.99 percent and five times more capacity.
The nanofiber
technology causes submicron contaminants to be held on the surface
layer of smaller fibers. This filtration characteristic is only
possible with this new type of air filtration technology. In
on-highway applications, where the contaminant is primarily
submicron in size, Donaldson Endurance filters cause less
restriction than conventional filters with cellulose media. The
smaller interfiber spaces of nanofiber technology have a higher
efficiency and capture more contaminant.
The following
illustration may help visualize these phenomena: Imagine two
filters, a chain link fence and a mosquito net, with a tennis ball
being a dirt particle. As you may have observed, a tennis ball will
fit quite nicely into an opening of a chain link fence, but will
obstruct the hole almost 100%. Now imaging the same tennis ball
covering a mosquito net. The tennis ball, at the point of contact
with the netting, will obstruct much less filter area than the chain
link fence example. In fact, air will flow around the tennis ball
all the way to the point of contact. It will take many more
particles to obstruct the netting surface area than the chain link
fence.

Endurance™ air filters are guaranteed to deliver twice the miles
between change intervals over cellulose air filters for on-highway
applications or customers receive a new filter at no charge
