Is It a Big Problem If the Air Filter Gets Wet?

[DiBentley]

It is not a big problem if the air filter gets wet. Here are specific details about air filters: 1. Definition: An air filter is a type of filter, also known as an air filter cartridge, air cleaner, or air element. It is mainly used for air filtration in engineering vehicles, automobiles, agricultural vehicles, laboratories, sterile operating rooms, and various precision operation rooms. 2. Types: The commonly used air cleaners in engines mainly include inertial oil-bath air cleaners, paper dry-type air cleaners, and polyurethane filter element air cleaners. The inertial oil-bath air cleaner undergoes three stages of filtration: inertial filtration, oil-bath filtration, and filter-type filtration. The latter two types of air cleaners mainly rely on filter element filtration. The inertial oil-bath air cleaner has advantages such as low intake resistance, adaptability to dusty and sandy working environments, and long service life, making it suitable for various models of automobile and tractor engines. However, this type of air cleaner has disadvantages like low filtration efficiency, heavy weight, high cost, and inconvenient maintenance, and has gradually been phased out in automobile engines.
