Engine Air Filters Offer New Design, Better Performance
Baldwin Filters says its new Channel Flow air filters feature a design that provides a stronger, more reliable filter, with one of the key features being the filter element, which is environmentally friendly and fully incinerable. Channel Flow media is formed by layering alternating rows of flat sheets and corrugated media. Air enters an open channel on the inlet side, flows through the media and exits through an adjacent open channel—contaminants remain trapped within the channels and won’t dislodge during servicing. This media is inherently strong, according to Baldwin, thus eliminating the need for the center tube and metal wrappers used in traditional air filters. Channel Flow air filters also feature a durable frame, which in addition to enclosing the media pack and protecting it from damage during handling, also prevents air from being drawn in through the sides of the filter, adding an extra element of protection for the engine. Baldwin also has added a stronger media support to provide protection from increases in differential pressure. www.baldwinfilter.com
