RF-180 Bag Filter
For years, the railroad industry has recognized that paper-type engine air filters offer the best in efficiency, engine protection and overall performance. However, bag-type filters have remained the preferred choice for many because of their ease of application and regular changeout cycles.
The Parker RF-180 engine air intake filters combines the best of both worlds. A new concept in locomotive air filtration, this “hybrid” design integrates the high efficiency and trouble-free performance of paper type filters into the popular bag configuration.
Bag filters are often the last line of defense for the combustion air of a locomotive or the air of an industrial process. The multi-layered design provides gradients that allow for higher efficiency and lifetime to provide maximum performance and meet long service intervals.
Extended tests of the RF-180 were performed at major railroads. The results of the pressure drop readings and laboratory analysis revealed that the RF-180 would last at least six months and still have life remaining. With its six-month recommended changeout cycle, the RF-180 offers double the life of conventional bags – yet it doesn't cost twice as much. An additional benefit of eliminating up to two changeouts per year, is a reduction of both filter and labor costs.
Standard filtration efficiencies required in many applications are 96 - 98%. However, in very dusty environments such as desert or mining applications, many customers prefer the extra protection of 99%+ provided by Parker's RF-180 High Efficiency bag filter. Higher filtration efficiency means lower dirt penetration and enhanced removal of harmful microfine particles – resulting in better protection and longer engine life.
The RF-180 uses a special outer layer of material that keeps the oil inside the bag and out of turbochargers, aftercoolers and engines. And because the bag doesn't dry out from oil migration, the service life is extended. The versatile RF-180 is ready to install in any existing bag housing, with a filter that remains dry and oil-free, so it's cleaner and easier to handle than a conventional bag.
Offering versatile installation, an innovative design, and reducing maintenance costs in multiple ways, the Parker RF-180 engine air intake filters cannot be beat.
