The air filter is the door for the cylinder to inhale fresh air. Its function is to remove dust and other impurities from the air entering the cylinder to reduce the wear of various parts in the cylinder. This should arouse the attention of the crew operator.
Because a large amount of dust is composed of quartz particles with high hardness, if they enter the cylinder, it will cause serious wear of the parts as abrasives are added to each mating surface of the cylinder. Tests have shown that if the diesel generator set is not equipped with an air filter, the hazards are: the wear of the cylinder is increased by 8 times, the wear of the piston is increased by 3 times, and the wear of the piston ring is increased by 9 times.
It can be seen that the air filter has an extremely important influence on the service life of the diesel generator set, and the air filter is not allowed to be removed at will during use. At the same time, the air filter should be cleaned and maintained in time according to the amount of dust contained in the air in the area of use to ensure the smooth flow of the door, meet the requirements of the diesel generator set for the intake air, and prevent many failures caused by it ( Such as weak compression, insufficient power, black smoke from exhaust, etc.).
