Air Filters
The main task of air filters is to trap the microscopic pollutants in the atmosphere before they enter the combustion chambers of the engine and to provide the engine with clean air free of pollutants.
The life span of the engine is directly related to the dirt-holding ability of the air filter. Air filters are the only defense system that cleans the air going into the engine.
Dirty air entering the engine causes serious damage to the pistons, turbocharger, and other critical components.
Air filters operate under severe conditions. It takes 9000 liters of air to burn 1 liter of fuel. The air filter must be of a quality that can withstand the high temperatures in the engine for a long time.
Low-quality air filter directly affects the performance of the engine, causing both higher fuel consumption and loss of power in the engine. Low-quality air filters cause damage in the lower parts of the engine in the long run, resulting in high service costs.
Unlike other filters, air filters do not have a micron rating value. Air filters are more efficient within the period until they reach the terminal restriction limit.
Air filters that are critical for the engine should be replaced with new ones at the intervals specified by the manufacturer.
