The Importance of an Air Compressor Inline Water Filter
Don’t let water ruin your air compressor and tools. Install an inline water filter to keep your equipment running smoothly and efficiently.
An air compressor inline water filter is an essential component of an engine’s intake system. Its effectiveness directly impacts the engine’s lifespan and the frequency of oil changes. While it may not show immediate signs of damage, a poorly functioning air filter can cause a range of issues after driving over 200,000 kilometers, such as increased oil consumption, higher fuel consumption, and severe wear or damage to the crankshaft and connecting rod bearings. Therefore, it is crucial to regularly check and replace the air filter to ensure optimal engine performance.
So how can you judge whether an air filter is good or bad? Let's take a comprehensive look at the air filter!
The air filter is the first barrier of the screw air compressor, the quality of the air filter is very important. If the quality of the air filter is not good, it will cause customers to waste a lot of electricity bills, which will directly affect the service life of engine oil, oil filter, oil components, bearings, etc.
However, the quality of air filtration is often ignored by the industry. Many people don’t pay much attention to the quality of the air filter, and think that as long as it can be used, it is fine. Only when the air filter is sucked and deformed, they know that the quality of the air filter is not good, and they don’t know what caused the deformation. All I know is to put on a new one and that’s it.
Next, we will talk about the hazards of inferior air filters:
● Insufficient exhaust volume of the unit affects production;
● The resistance of the filter element is too large, and the energy consumption of the unit increases;
● The actual compression ratio of the unit increases, the main load increases, and the service life decreases;
● Damaged filter elements lead to foreign matter entering the host, causing the host to lock up or even be scrapped.
● Installation fit, not easy to deform: the air filter with rubber cover in the high-quality air filter, the rubber cover is moderately soft and hard, and the fit is relatively good during installation, not easy to deform, and prevents dust from entering through the gap.
Nanxiang air filter adopts reliable sealing effect, evenly distributed origami, no obvious peculiar smell, and not easy to deform; it is stronger than ordinary air filter.
If the air filter is not replaced in time, it will cause insufficient power,
increased carbon deposits inside the engine, and burning oil in the cylinder, so we recommend replacing it every 30,000 kilometers.
