5. Prinċipju Operattiv

The MAHLE LA 1506 is a particle filter, meaning it operates by physically trapping airborne particles as air passes through its media. The filter media is designed with microscopic fibers that create a labyrinth for air to flow through, while particles such as pollen, dust, and soot are caught and retained. This process ensures that only cleaner air enters the vehicle's cabin, protecting occupants from external pollutants.
