Wymiana i czyszczenie filtra powietrza w agregatach prądotwórczych

Generators are irreplaceable devices if we depend on constant power supply to electronic devices. They cause that we are not afraid of any failure of power lines, caused, for example, by windstorms and fallen trees or maintenance and modernization work.

If we are equipped with a genset, we can rest assured that we will never run out of electricity. Although there is one condition. We must take proper care of this genset, regularly service it and check the condition of the filters, including the air filter. What is worth knowing about it and how to clean it to extend the life of the genset?

The heart of the generator set is the engine, which heats up during operation, so it is very important to be able to cool it. The air and the condition of the filter play a big role here. If it is dirty, it will not perform its task properly, which can even lead to a serious failure of the genset.

Everything you need to know about cleaning and replacing the air filter in a generator set

Being the owner of a generator set, it is necessary to take care of it regularly, as this will make it repay you with long and reliable operation. As already mentioned, a large impact on the condition of the generator has, among other things, the air filter. When using the generator on a dirty filter, the engine may run erratically and even stall, resulting in costly repairs. On the other hand, running a generator without an air filter is absolutely unacceptable. Once you have purchased a generator, it is a good idea to read its instructions and the information provided by the manufacturer. In it you will usually find instructions on the issue of replacing the air filter. How often should you check its condition? There is no definite answer to this question, as much depends on how much the device is used. If it serves, as an emergency power supply, then it is enough if we check the condition of the filter once a year. But if it is used, for example, on a construction site, working many hours a week and, in addition, in harsh, dusty conditions, then the filter inspection should be much more frequent, even once every two months. A dirty filter does not have to be replaced with a new one, as we can clean it ourselves. However, if it has been damaged, we should replace the filter with a new one without a second thought, and until then do not run the generator.

How to clean the air filter?

After removing it, we should immerse it in warm water with dishwashing liquid, and then rinse and dry it. Once the filter is dry, we can soak it in motor oil, and then put it in its place. Remember not to clean the air filter with gasoline under any circumstances, as this can lead to an explosion.
