Dust in the air is inevitable and if you are going to be driving your 4X4 into remote areas there will be a lot of mud and sand as well. Sand and dust are both heavier than air and there will be more of it at engine level than at the roof level of any vehicle. When you drive in dusty/ muddy/ sandy areas, and then open up the bonnet of your vehicle, you will find that the engine compartment and all the components are coated with a thick layer of dust. A ranger snorkel is attached to the side of your vehicle and draws clean air from the roof level and throws that into the engine compartment. When relatively cleaner air is diverted to the engine, it extends the effectiveness of the air filter and reduces the wear of the vital components of the engine. In turn, this increases the reliability and the life-span of the engine. The biggest advantage of a ranger snorkel is that it takes in cooler and cleaner air. There might be times when you are outdoors and are crossing a deep stream or river. You definitely do not want your vehicle’s engine to suck in any water as it can cause a lot of damage. If the snorkel has been fitted to your diesel engine vehicle in a proper manner, in theory, it should be possible for you to cross water that almost touches the roof of your vehicle. You can attempt deep water crossings with no water getting into the engine if you have a snorkel attached to your vehicle. Another factor is that of heat. Turbo diesel engines tend to give off a lot of heat and the under-bonnet temperature can touch 300 degrees Celsius, in some cases. If your engine is sucking in the air that exists under the bonnet, it is sucking in very hot air. This will impact the performance of the engine in a negative manner. The snorkel on the other hand, sucks in the cooler air that is available at the roof level of the vehicle and that gets channelized that to the engine. It’s important to get the right snorkel at the right price and the best way to get the best deal is to buy the product online. You can compare a variety of models and brands within the price range you desire. There is a lot of other equipment that can be bought online and this is the best way to ensure the lowest prices. Mining equipment as well as that which is used in automotive industries can be acquired online. Centrifuges are used in different industries from gold and silver mining to that of mineral and ore mining. These are available in various capacities and sizes and the one that you buy will be dependent on the industry that you are using it in and the purpose it is going to be used for. A great application for centrifuges is cleaning motor oil and diesel. They can even be set up on your vehicle to clean while you drive. The centrifuge uses the high pressure of the oil or diesel pump to build up speed. As they don't use fuel filter elements there is no ongoing replacement cost. Scintex is a supplier of Centrifuges and other industrial and mining equipment. You can also get 4X4 accessories such as a Ranger Snorkel here.
