Five Easy Steps to
Air Cleaner Selection
For example, a truck of less than 8 ton will probably see light-dust, whereas dumpers used on construction sites would almost always be surrounded by an extremely heavy-dust concentration of large dirt particles. To deter- mine the type of environment and the dust concentration level your machine works in, you can use the table below. (2) Determine the Type of Machine and its Environment
Environment
Applications
Dust concentration (mg/m ³ )
Light-Duty
On-Highway Trucks (< 8T), Lift Truck, Pumps for use in generators, compressors, marine, small engines and railroad.
1-5
(On-Road, Marine)
+ carbon, soot, oil vapeur
Medium-Duty
Mixed operating Trucks (8 -16T),
5-15
(Light Construction,
Farm Tractor, Lift Truck,
Agricultural, Compressors)
Mobile Compressor, Skid Steer.
Medium- to Heavy-Duty
Combines and Harvesters, Earth Moving Equipment, Loader, Dozer, Grader, Excavator, Artic Dumper.
15-20
Heavy-Duty
Scraper, Dumper, Track type dozer,
(Construction, Mining)
Mining Equipment,
20-50
Rail Road (Middle East).
Extra Heavy-Duty
Special equipment, Military.
50-100

(3) Select an Air Cleaner Series
You can do this by using the Air Cleaner Selection Overview on page 12-13. This correlates the Airflow Requirements of your engine (which you calculated under step 1) with the Dust Concentration level of your envi- ronment (which you calculated under step 2). Once you have selected your Air Cleaner Series you can look in the catalogue for the specific Air Cleaner Model according to the Air Flow Requirements your engine needs. You can do this by refering to the Air Flow Restriction Curves. If there are 2 air cleaner models that fit your parameters, choose the one with the lowest restriction to ensure maximum service life from that air cleaner seriers. (4) Choose a SPECIFIC Air Cleaner Model (5) Choose Intake Accessories Accessories are an integral and important part of the entire air intake filtration system. See the Accessories Section for more details.
