How to choose a suitable air filter assembly

Dec 09, 2020

1. Determine the air intake of the engine. The required air flow is generally expressed in cfm or m³/min. The required air flow is a technical specification of the engine and can be obtained from your engine manufacturer. In the process of selecting an air filter, the required air flow is used together with the recommended air intake resistance.

2. Determine the type of equipment and its use environment. For example, a hospital equipment generator set may be less dusty, while a rock crusher is almost always surrounded by extremely heavy dust containing large particles. Our new air filter selection chart is an image guide for your choice of vehicle type and operating environment.

3. Select the air filter series. You will have a variety of options, including new product families that were not available before. In our selection guide, key design differences are indicated by color codes. This step should also consider application considerations, dimensions, inlet and outlet locations, and installation configuration. These parameters are sometimes critical to help you find the type and series of applications that are more suitable for you.

4. Select the specific air filter model. Refer to the initial air flow resistance table of the type you need. If there are two air filter models that suit your parameters, choose the one with the lowest flow resistance to ensure that the air filter has the longest service life.

5. Choose air intake accessories. Although they are called accessories, such as rain caps, mounting brackets, pre-filters and clamps, they are all important parts of the entire intake system. Our company specializes in the production of air filter elements and supports customized air filter elements of various types.
