What is a generator filter?
The diesel generator filter generally plays an important role in reaching pure materials and preventing pollution from entering the engine. There are different types of filters in generators, which we will mention in this article; Generators need oil for lubrication and cooling. By moving between the components of the generator, the oil takes the heat caused by the wear of the parts and cools them in addition to lubrication. One of the filters in the generator is the oil filter. Before entering the machine and the flow between the parts, the oil must pass through a filter or strainer so that contaminated and impure materials do not enter the engine. This filter should be checked and changed once in a while.
Fuel filter:
Today pure diesel fuel in the market. It does not exist, and since this fuel must reach the engine purely, a fuel filter or filter is used. This filter separates all impurities in the fuel.
Water filter:
This filter is to prevent impure particles from entering the liquid used for cooling. The device is used.
Air filter:
This filter is available in various types of paper air filter, oil air filter, sponge and cotton air filter and it is necessary It must be aired once every 50 hours and changed every 400 working hours.
Reasons for replacing the diesel generator filter
As it was fully mentioned in the previous topic, the generator has different filters, whose task is generally to prevent impurities from entering the engine. These filters must be replaced once in a while, because if their life is over, they no longer have the initial efficiency, the depreciation in the device increases and its efficiency decreases, as well as contaminated and impure materials enter the engine and finally lead to device failure. The time to change different filters is different, for example, diesel engine oil must be changed after 150 to 200 hours of operation, and every time the oil is changed, the oil filter must also be changed, and after each change of the oil filter, the fuel filter must also be changed. It is necessary to check the filter and oil of the generator once in a while, and if its life is over, it must be replaced, because using a filter whose life is over leads to low efficiency of the device and shortens its life. slow
