OIL
BATH TYPE
AIR
CLEANERS
Oil bath air cleaners are often used where above normal concentration
of
dust, lint,
chaff, etc.
is
present. Normally, the oil bath cleaner should be serviced after every
25
hours of operation; how
-
ever,
if extremely dusty or dirty conditions exist, service cleaner more frequently
-
-
even every
8
hours or twice daily
if
conditions warrant this.
There are several different types of oil bath air cleaners in use.
On most, outside air is drawn
in through a screen or rain cap and is then pulled across a pool of oil which absorbs the heavier
particles.
The partially cleaned air
is
then drawn through an oil laden filter element for final filtering
and then into the carburetor.
On some, a series of elements with varying degrees of filtration quali
-
ties are used for final filtering.
