Installation, Use, And Maintenance of Air Filters

Installation and Usage

1. During installation, whether using flanges, rubber hoses, or direct connections between the air filter and the engine intake pipe, they must be tight and reliable to prevent air leakage. Rubber gaskets must be installed on both ends of the filter element; The wing nut that fixes the air filter cover should not be tightened too tightly to avoid crushing the paper filter element.

2. During maintenance, the paper filter element must not be cleaned in oil, otherwise the paper filter element will fail and may easily cause car accidents. During maintenance, only vibration method, soft brush method (brush along its folds) or compressed air back blowing method can be used to remove dust and dirt attached to the surface of the paper filter element. For the coarse filter section, dust should be promptly removed from the dust collection area, blades, and cyclone tubes. Even if the paper filter is carefully maintained every time, it cannot fully restore its original performance, and its intake resistance will increase. Therefore, when the paper filter needs the fourth maintenance, it should be replaced with a new filter. If the paper filter cartridge ruptures, punctures, or the filter paper and end cap come loose, it should be replaced immediately.

3. When using, it is necessary to strictly prevent the paper core air filter from being soaked by rainwater, because once the paper core absorbs a large amount of moisture, it will greatly increase the intake resistance and shorten the mission. In addition, paper core air filters should not come into contact with oil or fire.

4.Some vehicles are equipped with cyclone type air filters in their engines. The plastic cover at the end of the paper filter element is a guide cover, and the blades on the cover rotate the air. 80% of the dust is separated by centrifugal force and collected in a dust collection cup. The dust that reaches the paper filter element is 20% of the inhaled dust, and the total filtration efficiency is around 99.7%. So, when maintaining the cyclone air filter, be careful not to miss the plastic guide cover on the filter element.

Maintenance

1. The filter element is the core component of the filter, made of special materials and is a vulnerable part that requires special maintenance and upkeep;

2. When the filter has been working for a long time and the filter element has intercepted a certain amount of impurities, it will cause an increase in pressure and a decrease in flow rate. At this time, it is necessary to clean it in a timely manner;

3. When cleaning, be sure not to deform or damage the filter element.

4. Generally, the lifespan of the filter element varies depending on the raw materials used. However, as the usage time prolongs, impurities in the air can clog the filter element. Therefore, PP filter elements generally need to be replaced every three months; The activated carbon filter needs to be replaced after six months; Fiber filter cartridges, which cannot be cleaned, are usually placed at the back end of PP cotton and activated carbon for use, making them less prone to clogging; Ceramic filter cartridges can usually be used for 9-12 months.
