The Multiquip 8980305320 is a genuine OEM Blowby Filter Element designed for the DCA series ultra-silent diesel generators, including the DCA150SSI, DCA150SSIU, DCA180SSI, DCA180SSIU, DCA250SSI, DCA250SSI-3, DCA250SSIU, and DCA400SSI. As a factory-sourced component, this element meets the exact filtration and fit specifications Multiquip established for these machines. Sourcing the correct OEM part ensures your generator's crankcase ventilation system performs as intended — protecting engine internals and maintaining clean operation over extended run cycles.
Key Features
- OEM Filtration Media: — Factory-specified filter material captures blowby contaminants at the correct micron rating for DCA series engine ventilation requirements.
- Direct-Fit Replacement: — Matches the original element dimensions and seating interface for a clean, tool-accessible swap with no housing modifications.
- Broad DCA Series Coverage: — Compatible with DCA150SSI, DCA150SSIU, DCA180SSI, DCA180SSIU, DCA250SSI, DCA250SSI-3, DCA250SSIU, and DCA400SSI ultra-silent generator models.
- Engine Protection at the Source: — A functioning blowby filter keeps oil mist and combustion vapors out of the intake path, preventing carbon buildup and premature wear on internal engine components.
- Emissions System Integrity: — On diesel generator sets subject to emissions compliance, a properly functioning crankcase ventilation filter supports clean combustion and helps the unit operate within intended exhaust standards.
The blowby filter element is part of the engine's crankcase ventilation system. As an engine runs, combustion gases that slip past the piston rings — known as blowby — are routed back through the intake rather than vented to atmosphere. The blowby filter element captures oil aerosols and particulates from these gases before they re-enter the intake tract, protecting the air system from contamination. When this element becomes clogged or deteriorated, crankcase pressure builds, oil consumption increases, and unfiltered vapors can foul intake components — making regular element replacement a straightforward but important part of generator maintenance.
