An air filter is used to filter the air that enters engines such as generators, heavy equipment, buses, trucks, and other vehicles. Its function is to filter out solid particles from the air before entering the combustion chamber, which helps improve combustion efficiency and prevents engine damage caused by external solid particles. In short, the main function of an air filter is to prevent unwanted substances from entering the engine and to ensure that only clean air reaches the combustion chamber. Generally, there are two types of air filters: dry and wet. Both serve the same purpose of filtering solid particles from the air but use slightly different methods.

Air filters need to be replaced periodically according to the service schedule. Although they may seem minor compared to other spare parts, a damaged air filter can cause significant losses depending on the extent of engine damage it leads to.

Benefits of replacing air filters regularly:

Improve engine performance → a clogged air filter will negatively affect engine performance.

Reduce emissions → since air and fuel burn more completely; if the filter is damaged or not functioning, combustion becomes inefficient and emissions increase significantly.

Extend engine lifespan → the air filter traps dirt and dust that can cause engine wear.

All of these issues can be avoided by replacing air filters regularly in accordance with the maintenance schedule.

The replacement interval for air filters varies depending on the type of engine being used, but most importantly, it depends on the surrounding environment. Machines operating in dirty and dusty conditions require more frequent inspections and replacements.
