Breathe Easy,
Shelly is on the Job.
Air is necessary for successful combustion in your engine. A typical
Diesel engine requires 200 gallons of air for every gallon of fuel per
hour to produce 1 Hp. Thus 300 Hp engine would require 60,000 gallons
of air for every gallon of fuel per hour. Thus clean air is critical
to engine survival and vital to its performance. In either case (Both
TC/NE) the induction system (ducting, hoses and reducers) brings
outside air to the engine. The system should have enough intake
capacity to meet engine requirements for air flow, avoiding sharp
bends or constrictive ducting.
-
It should be installed in a clean
location, away from exhaust flow, road grime and splash.
-
It should be vented to remove airborne
moisture.
-
Air may flow into the engine through a
series of components.
Shelly has introduced pleat locking-an
emboossing process that builds dividers between pleats to prevent
bunching and to ensure uniform air flow. Hot Melt Beading-a continuous
bead of adhesive around the circumference of the filter's metal outer
wrap, locking the pleat tips in place and preventing movement. Most
engine manufacturers specify minimum initial efficiency of at least
98.5%. On first reading, this figure seems very high. Remember
through, that dirt in any amount can be harmful to your engine. |
