Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of fuel gas filters, in particular to a fuel gas filter with a pressure sensor. Background Art
[0002] The advantages of natural gas include abundant resources, low emission pollution, and low price. It is increasingly valued and is considered to be a fuel with great development prospects. Most people regard natural gas as the third largest energy source in the world after coal and oil, and it plays an increasingly important role. Its main component is methane, which is a gaseous fuel that can be fully mixed with air. Therefore, there is basically no particulate emission after its combustion, and the amount of CO generated after combustion is also very small. Compared with other fossil fuels, it produces the least pollutant emissions in the entire life cycle of mining, production, storage, transportation, and use. Therefore, natural gas is also called "clean fuel". With the large-scale entry of natural gas engines into the automobile market, although there are maintenance instructions for the maintenance of gas filter elements, most car owners often forget to maintain them after using the vehicles for a long time, resulting in overload of gas filter elements, which may wear the engine moving parts and reduce the engine life; the engine is easy to stall; acceleration is not strong and weak, etc. The existing gas filter is modularly designed to provide the engine with a pressure alarm signal, which prompts the owner to replace the filter element through this signal.

[0012] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: when in use, the gas enters the filter element from the air inlet, the gas passes through the side wall of the filter element and flows into the filter tank, the filtered gas in the filter tank is discharged through the air outlet, and the pressure sensor monitors the pressure condition in the filter element. When the pressure change in the filter element exceeds the set threshold, the pressure sensor will send a signal to remind the user to maintain and replace the filter element. The user can take corresponding measures in time according to the signal of the pressure sensor to ensure the cleanliness of the gas and the stability of the supply. The gas filter of the utility model has a simple structure and is easy to install. The pressure sensor can accurately monitor the working status of the filter element and promptly remind the user to replace the filter element, which greatly extends the life of the engine and has good practicality and economic benefits.
