When it comes to safeguarding your aircraft's performance, a high-quality air filter is essential. For many general aviation pilots and aircraft owners, Tempest AeroGuard™ filters stand out as the superior choice over competitors like Brackett and Donaldson. With innovative design and advanced materials, Tempest AeroGuard filters provide unmatched filtration, longevity, and ease of maintenance, making them the clear choice for those serious about maintaining a reliable and efficient engine.
Exempt from AD Compliance Requirements
Unlike Brackett and Donaldson filters, Tempest AeroGuard filters are free from paper media, which means they are exempt from compliance with AD84-26-02. This eliminates a significant maintenance burden and ensures greater peace of mind when it comes to regulatory compliance.
Extended Service Life and Cost Efficiency
Tempest AeroGuard filters are designed to last up to 500 hours, which is five times longer than many competitors. The durable, synthetic polyester media can be washed and reused up to five times, providing both a long service life and significant cost savings. By contrast, other filters with shorter lifespans often require frequent replacement, increasing both maintenance costs and downtime.
High-Performance Filtration and Maximum Airflow
With a larger media surface area than Brackett or Donaldson, Tempest AeroGuard filters allow for optimal airflow, promoting more efficient combustion and engine performance. While ensuring this high airflow, Tempest AeroGuard filters also maintain rigorous filtration standards, capturing 99% of contaminants larger than 5 microns. This is crucial for protecting engine components and ensuring the long-term reliability of your aircraft.
No Oil Required for Filtration
Tempest AeroGuard filters operate without the need for oil, making them easier to maintain and less messy to handle. In fact, the instructions explicitly advise against applying oil, which can actually clog other filters over time. The dry filtration system is not only more convenient but also more environmentally friendly.
Safety-First Design: Prevents Fragmented Media Ingestion
A notable feature of Tempest AeroGuard filters is their durable black anodized aluminum housing and screen. This corrosion-resistant design provides a stable structure, ensuring that fragmented media does not become ingested into the engine—a risk that can be prevalent in filters with weaker materials. This design enhancement adds a layer of safety, helping prevent potential engine damage from degraded filter components.
No Shelf Life – Ready When You Are
Unlike some competitive filters, Tempest AeroGuard filters do not have a shelf life, giving aircraft owners the flexibility to store them without worrying about expiration. This feature alone makes AeroGuard filters a convenient and dependable choice, especially for those who may not use their aircraft as frequently.
To maximize the lifespan and effectiveness of Tempest AeroGuard filters, proper usage and regular inspection are key. Here are some guidelines:
Inspection Intervals: Check the filter during pre-flight inspections when possible, and conduct thorough inspections at each 100-hour and annual inspection to ensure optimal condition.
Cleaning Instructions: Each Tempest AeroGuard filter can be washed up to five times before it needs to be replaced. Be sure to follow the manufacturer's guidelines for cleaning and drying the filter to maintain its structural integrity and filtration performance.
Replacement Schedule: Replace the filter after five cleanings or 500 hours of use, whichever comes first, to ensure continued reliability and efficiency.
