       The diesel generator set air filter assembly is composed of an air filter element, a filter cap, and a casing. The quality of the air filter plays a key role in the air filter assembly. The air filter is a vulnerable part of the diesel generator set. To prolong the service life of the diesel generator set, some correct installation matters should be paid attention to during installation. its full effect.
 
       1. When checking and maintaining the air filter element, the gasket on the filter element must be installed properly. The rubber gasket is easy to age and deform, and the air is easy to flow through the gap of the gasket, bringing dust into the cylinder. If the gasket is old, it is best to replace the air filter with a new one. The iron mesh outside the filter element should be replaced if it is broken or the upper and lower end caps are cracked.
       2. The paper dust cup air filter used needs to remove the dust once every 50-100 hours of work. Use a soft brush to brush off the surface dust. If the working time exceeds 500 hours or is damaged, it should be promptly removed. replace. Using a paper air filter can reduce wear on cylinders and pistons and extend the life of the engine.
       3. Use an oil bath air filter. Every 100-200 hours of operation, clean the filter element with clean diesel oil and replace the oil in it. If the filter element is broken, it needs to be replaced immediately, and pay attention to adding oil according to regulations during use. .
 
       The function of the air filter in the diesel generator set is to filter out the dust in the air entering the cylinder to ensure that the engine has enough clean air to mix with the fuel to generate combustion. Wear of pistons and piston rings, therefore, users must pay attention to the air filter for good maintenance.
