All generator sets use filters to process the oil, air and fuel of the generator set. The filtration process is a very important means to ensure the maximum cleanliness of all materials entering the generator set, because it maximizes the efficiency of the generator set and prevents malfunctions caused by dirt and other foreign matter.
The filter is to ensure that your generator set operates at the highest efficiency. Regular replacement or cleaning of the filter according to the recommended schedule should be part of your regular maintenance work. Otherwise, the risk of dirt and other pollutants entering the generator set will increase, which will prevent the generator set from operating at maximum efficiency.
Most filters are disposable parts that are disposable, inexpensive and easy to replace. However, only the original genuine filter manufactured in accordance with the specifications of the host manufacturer can guarantee the expected effect, and the use of non-genuine components is often not worth the gain.
Filters are mainly divided into three categories:
air filter
The generator set extracts air from the surrounding environment to help the combustion process, and in many environments where the generator set usually works, the level of pollutants in the air is higher than average. These pollutants can include dust, pollen, char, sand and other pollutants of varying sizes. The air filter is usually an accessory that uses a paper folded filter element to prevent these pollutants from entering the combustion chamber.
Oil filter
Unlike air filters, oil filters operate in a closed system. The debris and impurities they block are mainly entered into the generator set when the oil is injected. Other impurities include carbon dust from the decomposition of lubricating oil and particles released by component wear. The oil filter is to ensure that the oil can continue to circulate in the generator set, while eliminating particulate pollutants.
Fuel Filter
Under ideal conditions, all fuel injected into the generator set should be clean and free of pollutants. However, our generator sets have to face a variety of different operating environments, and the fuel may not be stored and stored under ideal clean conditions. transportation. Therefore, the risk of pollutants being incorporated into the fuel increases. Even a small amount of pollutants can cause damage to the generator set, and a small solid pollutant can damage the piston and related components. It is necessary to maintain the fuel filter properly.
