abrasive between the cylinder walls and the pistons,
greatly shortening engine life. The two types of filters
currently In use are the wet and dry type.
b. Wet Type (Fig. 4-19). The wet-type, or the oil
bath, air filter consists of the main body, the filter element
that is made of woven copper gauze, and the cover.
Operation is as follows:
The incoming air enters between the cover and the main
body. It is pulled down to the bottom of the main body,
where it must make a 180-degree turn as it passes over
the oil reservoir. As the air passes over the oil reservoir,
most of the particles will not be able to make the turn,
they will hit the oil and be trapped. As the air continues
upward and passes through the filter element, the
smaller particles that bypassed the oil will be trapped.
The air keeps the filter element soaked with oil by
creating a fine spray as it passes the reservoir. The air
then makes another 180-degree turn and enters the
