There are wet and dry air filter, did you know that?

Speaking of the air filter, also known as the air filter, I believe that we are all familiar with, regardless of cars and carts, as long as the four-wheeled vehicle will run to drink oil all need him. It acts like an engine mask, filtering out dust and impurities from the air and providing clean air for the engine.

But there are two types of air filters, did you know that? Top Tips: Air Filter are filter (dry) air filter and oil bath air filter, depending on the type. Placed in front of the turbocharger, responsible for filtering the air floating dust and particles, to protect the engine from wear and tear, in order to extend the service life of the engine has a great role. Trucks are typically dry air filter.

 So the question is, air filter is so important, do we need to wash them often and keep them clean? Not Really. It starts with the composition of the filter. The main components of the air filter are the filter element and the housing. The filter element is mainly responsible for filtering. Usually the filter core is divided into one big and one small, and the large filter core is outside, called the "main filter core" , the small filter element is called "safety filter element" inside. The main filter core heavy responsibility, mainly responsible for the daily outside of the filter. Safety filter is in equipment maintenance or main filter failure and other unexpected circumstances, blocking dust into the engine, protect the engine from damage. Therefore, cleaning air filter too frequently will not give full play to the filtering ability of the filter element, resulting in an increase in the amount of dust entering the engine, resulting in abnormal engine wear, but also cause early damage to the filter element. Safety filter is not recommended to clean, maintenance is not recommended to remove the safety filter, lest dust into the inlet (including downtime) . If there is dust on the safety filter, then the main filter may be damaged, should immediately replace the main filter and safety filter.
