AIR INLET SYSTEM
Heavy-duty Use Air Cleaner
A heavy-duty air cleaner is typically a two stage cyclonic/paper element cleaner. See Figure 4-2.
These cleaners incorporate a highly efficient cyclonic pre-cleaner arrangement that removes
94-98% of the dust from the air before it passes through the paper element. Some types of heavy
duty air cleaners do not include a mechanical precleaner but employ an oversized filter element to
accomplish the same dust removal with similar service intervals. Optional safety elements for
increased reliability are available and may be included in these air cleaners.
