Engineered Cellulose Media for Optimized Engine Air Filtration

|   Air Filter Media

At GESSNER, we develop advanced cellulose filter media designed specifically to match the diverse air flow velocities of different engine air filtration systems. Every filtration unit experiences its own characteristic inflow speed, shaped by system architecture, engine requirements, and operating conditions. Instead of relying on a one‑size‑fits‑all solution, our approach allows us to precisely tailor the media structure and fiber architecture to the exact air velocity profile of each system to guarantee optimal media performance.

 

How the Concept Works

By adjusting the porosity and fiber composition of the cellulose base sheet and tailoring the saturation to the individual filtration requirements, we create media that maintain optimal separation efficiency and increased dust holding capacity (DHC)at the intended airflow velocity. This targeted engineering ensures that filtration performance is not compromised as conditions differ from system to system - covering low to medium or extremely high air speeds.

Our process allows us to design media that:

  • Offer the same particle efficiency with increased DHC
  • Resist early clogging by ensuring balanced depth‑loading behavior
  • Maintain mechanical stability even under high dynamic load

Advantages of Velocity‑Matched Cellulose Media

  • Increased DHC at specific air velocity
    The media exhibits an increased dust holding capacity at the defined air velocity, ensuring clean intake air and optimal engine protection.
  • Extended service life
    Stable airflow interaction reduces premature loading, which results in longer operational intervals and lower maintenance requirements.
  • Reliable performance under demanding conditions
    Even at very high air speeds, the media structure remains stable, ensuring consistent engine protection across the entire duty cycle.
  • Reduced space required under the hood
    The improvement of the filter medium to achieve increased DHC and thus a longer service life with the same filter media volume saves valuable space under the hood.

Improved depth filtration allows us to achieve higher DHC and longer service life even at low air flow rates.
