Air Filter

Air Filters are integral in maintaining the well-being of your diesel generator.
Diesel generators require outside air for its combustion process. This outside air however contains a range of pollen, sand, dust and other additives that need to be filtered out to ensure clean air enters the combustion process.
When an air filter becomes used, it starts to allow these particles and additives into the combustion process. In other words, When air filter reaches its maximum dirt absorption rate it won’t be able to block all the contaminated particles that affects the diesel generator.
This means that if it is not replaced as per the maintenance log, your diesel generator can become less efficient, leading to an increase in the consumption of fuel.
Thus, air filters play an important role in the life expectancy of your diesel generator by extracting these particles from entering the diesel engine and only allows clear air to pass through.
Air filters have limited life and after specific hours of running, it is very important to replace the diesel generator set with the genuine air filter.
Similar a fuel filter, the air filter will last around 500 hours of use, and can be changed by most people provided that safety precautions are heeded.
