Developed by AFI, Augmented Self Cleaning Filters are designed for gas turbines and diesel engines operating in high-dust environments. They employ inertial separation to remove up to 75% of intake dust before it reaches the filters. The remaining particles are captured by filters. A reverse pulse of compressed air cleans the filters, and the extracted particles are removed through a secondary air circuit, preventing re-entrainment and maintaining low differential pressure. These filters feature self-cleaning synthetic-cellulose media that resists humidity, extending filter life. A moulded gasket ensures an airtight seal, preventing air bypass. The durable galvanized steel frame construction protects the media packs, making them suitable for high-dust environments.
