What are the symptoms of water entering the air filter?
1 Answers
Air filter water ingress symptoms include: the engine experiencing poor acceleration, sluggishness, and insufficient fuel supply. If the situation is severe enough that water enters the cylinders, the engine may easily experience "hydrolock" during operation, which can exacerbate engine wear and even lead to complete failure. The air filter is a device that removes particulate impurities from the air. For piston machinery (such as internal combustion engines, reciprocating compressors, etc.), inhaling air containing dust or other impurities can accelerate component wear, making the air filter essential. The air filter consists of two parts: the filter element and the housing. Its primary requirements are high filtration efficiency, low flow resistance, and the ability to operate continuously for extended periods without maintenance.
