Top 100: Air Filter Defies Status Quo

Sept. 28, 2010

PowerCore air filters have twice as much media area per given volume than competitive, conventional pleated filters so you get the same capacity in a smaller package. Air enters one end of the filter, flows through, and exits the opposite end of the filter, which Donaldson says can be exploited to create less-restrictive intake systems. The manufacturer also claims superior efficiency and soot-holding capacity for its unique Ultra-Web media. Estimated price: $15 to $100.
