The air filter is a filter, also called air filter, Mainly used for air filtration in engineering locomotives, automobiles, agricultural locomotives, laboratories, aseptic operating rooms and various precision operating rooms.
The engine should suck in a large amount of air during the working process. If the air is not filtered, the dust suspended in the air is sucked into the cylinder, which will accelerate the wear of the piston group and the cylinder. Larger particles enter between the piston and the cylinder, causing a serious "cylinder" phenomenon, which is especially severe in dry and sandy working environments. The air filter is installed in front of the carburetor or the intake pipe to filter out dust and sand in the air to ensure sufficient and clean air in the cylinder.
We don’t recommend washing filter cartridges or panels, or cleaning them with
compressed air, because of the possibilities of cross-contamination. Here's an example of what typically happens. Under the microscope, the photo below shows filter media after the element had been washed.
This is the downstream side (the "clean air side") of the filter media! Note that large particles of dirt -- ranging from 5 to 12 µm in size -- are clearly visible as deposits on themedia fibers. They can sluff of the media and be carried to the turbine inlet.
This means that washing had the exact opposite effect from what was intended -- it actually negated the protection the filter normally offers!
