- How it worksO'CUATRO engine air precleaner is a complete dynamic device that by centrifugal forces separate dirt particles, is designed to remove contaminants such as dust, insects, plant debris, snow, etc...from the air intake of any engine of internal combustion before the contaminate air reach the main filter. O'CUATRO dynamic air precleaner are the first stage of filtration and are usually installed where the rain cap, dust bowl or aspirated precleaner ( exhaust system ) are located , in some application, they can be mounted directly to the engine's conventional air filter housing- Air enters the system through a pre-screen that removes large debris, it then flows through the static vanes causing the air to spin . as the air spins it produce a centrifugal force that separates all debris from the air stream. The swirling air drives a high speed rotor with fins that act as a blower evacuating contaminants through special discharge port at the bottom of the device body. Only clean air will enter the main filter.
