Protecting HVAC systems with a Ryco cabin air lter

ONE of the most overlooked truck lters is the cabin air lter. “Cabin lters are a relatively new innovation and many truck owners aren’t even aware if their vehicles are tted with one,” said Alastair Hampton, Ryco’s general manager of engineering and innovation.

“ is can lead to these lters not being replaced as regularly as they should. In a time that the health and safety of many people has become so important, replacing an existing cabin lter with the best available on the market is a reasonably small investment to make.” ere are two things that are really important for a cabin lter to do: Firstly they need to protect the cabin’s occupants, making sure they are not exposed to airborne pollution whilst driving along the road. It’s also protecting them from pollens and particles that aggravate allergies. Secondly, they protect the HVAC system which, over time, collects dirt and dust, coupled with moisture and the cold. Without the HVAC system you end up growing mildew, resulting in ow issues and expensive maintenance. ere’s never been a more important time to have a truck’s cabin lter working at its peak level of performance. Ryco’s upgraded MicroShield range of cabin lters are the most efcient and micron rated in the Australasian market and a mustt for vehicle and workshop owners in this current climate. e MicroShield range of cab- in lters from Ryco are 99.7 per cent e cient and tested and compliant to ISO111552:2009 standards,” Hampton added. e increased protection of the upgraded MicroShield range comes from an innovative three-layer system. e rst layer is anti-viral with natural polyphenol extracts that eliminate viruses, bacteria and allergens. e second layer is activated carbon which is designed for odour and gas absorption. e third and last is medical grade polypropylene that’s electrostatically charged, which collects more micro particles. All e bene t is that not only does a Ryco cabin lter stop the bacteria and viruses from entering the truck’s cabin, it also destroys them at the same time. is includes serious diseases like In uenza A and H1N1/H3N3.

Whereas most cabin lters are rated to 2.5 micron, MicroShield sets the standard with a staggering 0.3 micron.

“ e Ryco MicroShield range of cabin lters are made from N99 medical grade media which provides both anti-viral and anti-bacterial properties.

MicroShield cabin lters are 100 per cent safe and free from pollution.

One of the many advantages of tting a Ryco MicroShield cabin lter is the anti-viral layer inhibits the survival of bacteria and viruses using a natural micronutrient called polyphenol.

With research showing that a cabin’s interior can contain over 10 times more pollutants than the outside air, Ryco is strongly urging all truck owners and workshops to make a cabin lter check and/or replacement a priority. When completed by a professional, a check or replacement takes only a matter of minutes on most vehicles.

When it comes to product design and development, Hampton commented, “ e Ryco MicroShield cabin lters now exceed the t, sealing and ltration e ciency of their original equipment (OE) counterparts. To do this, we concentrated on precisely matching the

OE lter housings using our own Melbourne based R&D team and technology like 3D scanning plus we focussed on improving the cabin air design and construction. e results have been impressive.”

Ryco has a wide range of commercial vehicle cabin lter applications. More part numbers will be progressively available in the near future. e upgraded versions of MicroShield cabin lters will be denoted with an “M” on the packaging as opposed to “MS”.
