A combustion air filtration apparatus for filtering combustion air for an engine is disclosed. The combustion air filtration apparatus comprises a combustion air source and a filter system fluidly coupled to the combustion air source and to the engine to receive combustion air from the combustion air source and to supply filtered combustion air for the engine. The filter system comprises a first combustion air filter, a second combustion air filter flow-parallel to the first combustion air filter, and a flow control system fluidly coupled to the first combustion air filter and the second combustion air filter to direct flow of combustion air selectively between the first combustion air filter and the second combustion air filter.

The invention relates to an air cleaner housing (200) for an air filter for an internal combustion engine in a vehicle, the air cleaner housing (200) being adapted for attachment to an outer cover (100) of said internal combustion engine (100), and comprising an inlet (201) for receiving unfiltered air and an outlet (202) for outputting filtered air. The air cleaner housing (200) comprises at least one slide member (210) configured to be slidably arranged to a corresponding guide member (110) of said outer cover (100), such that, when said slide member (210) is in connection with said guide member (110), said air cleaner housing (200) is supported by said guide member (110), and said air cleaner housing (200) is slidably movable at least along said guide member (110); and a fixation member (220) configured to secure the housing (200) to the outer cover (100) in a fixed position along said guide member (110). The invention also relates to an air cleaner housing arrangement, a method, and a vehicle.

In an engine compartment, a separation wall is provided between an intake pipe, which runs around to a rear side of the engine from a lateral side of the engine, and the engine. On an outer side of this separation wall, a travel wind guide having a vertical wall portion that opposes the separation wall with the intake pipe being therebetween is provided. The travel wind guide guides vehicle travel wind that is introduced into the engine compartment in a manner to cause the vehicle travel wind to flow along the intake pipe on the outer side of the separation wall.

Methods and systems are provided for a heating device. In one example, a system comprises a heat exchanger and an air filter arranged in a common housing, wherein the heat exchanger is configured to receive coolant from a heating device. In one example, the heating device is an electric heating device.

A saddle riding vehicle includes a body frame, an exhaust pipe, a muffler, and a catalyst. The body frame includes a main frame, a seat frame that extends rearward from the main frame and supports a seat for occupant, and a rear frame that extends from the main frame upward to a rear and is connected to the seat frame. The exhaust pipe extends rearward of the vehicle from an exhaust port of an engine. The muffler is connected to a rear end portion of the exhaust pipe. The catalyst is disposed in the muffler. An air cleaner box is disposed rearward of the engine. The catalyst disposed in the muffler is disposed in a space surrounded by the main frame, the seat frame, and the rear frame and overlaps with the air cleaner box as viewed in a side view of the vehicle.

The Multiple Intake Air Filtration Device of this invention is a superior, highly efficient air cleaner that utilizes an array of multiple-intake cyclonic tubes spinning air at high speed to efficiently remove the specific sizes of dirt and other particulates that can be ingested in off-road and highway vehicle operations. This Multiple Intake Air Filtration Device is well-suited for use with both normally-aspirated engines and turbocharged engines. It is superior to automotive air cleaners that filter out dirt by use of a screen or porous media because it never becomes clogged as dirt and particulates are filtered out, and it is superior to devices that utilize only a single air flow through cyclonic tubes, because the device of this invention cleans intake air more efficiently while providing a strong flow of clean air to the engine or other component.

An apparatus and method are provided for a cone air filter for a closed intake system of an internal combustion engine. The cone air filter is comprised of a cone-shaped filter medium, retained between a base and a cap, that is fabricated to remove contaminants and particulate matter from an intake airstream. The base is comprised of a flange that couples with an air intake duct of the internal combustion engine. A shell receiver is incorporated into the base and receives a rigid exterior shell, such that the exterior shell surrounds the cone air filter and directs the intake airstream therein. A cap is disposed on an apex portion of the cone air filter and is configured to direct the intake airstream around the apex portion and into the cone-shaped filter medium.

A vehicle has a frame, wheels, left and right seats each having a seat base, an internal combustion engine disposed rearward of the seat bases, an air induction system fluidly connected to the engine, at least one side body panel and an access panel. The air induction system has an air inlet, an air filter, and a throttle body. The at least one side body panel is connected to a side of the frame and defines an aperture. The access panel is movable between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the access panel is connected to the at least one side body panel and covers the aperture. In the second position, the access panel exposes the aperture. The air filter is accessible through the aperture when the access panel is in the second position. A method for removing an air filter is also disclosed.

A utility vehicle includes a plurality of ground-engaging members, a frame supported by the ground-engaging members, and a plurality of body panels supported by the frame. The utility vehicle also includes a radiator supported on a rear portion of the frame. Additionally, the utility vehicle includes an air intake assembly partially supported by an upper portion of the frame.
