AC Series Transparent bowl guard Better environmental resistance: Transparent bowl guard can protect the inner bowl! Windows on the bowl guard have been removed and the inner bowl is instead covered with a polycarbonate transparent bowl guard. Now, even if the environment changes and the bowl is exposed to corrosive chemical or oil splash, the foreign matter will not stick directly to the pressurized bowl. This can reduce risk of bowl breakage. Double layer Previous design Transparent bowl guard Applicable model Air Filter AF Cracks may occur in a portion where the internal pressure is applied....
