What are the three oil filters?
1 Answers
Oil three filters refer to the air filter, oil filter and fuel filter. The functions of the three oil filters are as follows: 1. Ensure the air entering the engine is clean. There is a lot of dust suspended in the air, mainly composed of silicon dioxide, which is a substance harder than metal. Installing an air filter can reduce the wear of parts such as cylinders, pistons and piston rings. 2. Ensure fuel cleanliness and prevent vapor lock. During the storage, transportation and refueling process of gasoline, it is inevitable that some impurities and water will be mixed in. These impurities will be brought into the fuel supply system and engine cylinders along with the fuel, accelerating cylinder wear. Before gasoline enters the fuel pump, it must be filtered to ensure the normal operation of the fuel supply system. 3. Filter the oil to ensure the normal operation of the engine. During the use of internal combustion engines, mechanical impurities such as dust, metal wear debris, and carbon deposits will continuously mix into the oil. At the same time, the oxidation of the oil by air and combustion exhaust gas will gradually produce colloids in the oil. The mixture of mechanical impurities and colloids will also form sludge, which will not only accelerate the wear of moving parts but also easily cause oil passage blockage. To ensure the cleanliness of the oil, the engine is equipped with an oil filter in the lubrication system.
