A particle separator assembly includes an airbox providing an outer tapered portion tapering from a first section having a first cross sectional area to a first opening having a second cross sectional area less than the first cross sectional area. The example assembly includes a flow diverter providing an inner tapered portion that tapers to a second opening. The example assembly includes an air filter housed by the airbox, the air filter is spaced from the second opening in a first direction, and the first opening is spaced from the second opening in a second direction opposite the first direction.

Air filter including a scavenging shutter

An air filter for heavy dust conditions has an efficient scavenging system. The air filter includes: a housing, a permeable filter, and a scavenger system. The scavenger system disposes of particles collected on the upstream surface of the permeable filter. The scavenger system includes: an air suction source, and a shutter. The shutter is positioned substantially along, typically below, the permeable filter, at a certain distance from a wall, typically the bottom wall, of the housing. The air suction source draws air from a collecting space located between the shutter and the wall of the housing. The shutter is being selectively operated to permit or restrict passage there-through. The air suction source efficiently operates to scavenge particles from the collecting space when the passage through the shutter is at least partially restricted.

Secondary filter element and filter arrangement

A secondary filter element for a filter arrangement is provided with a filter medium and a circumferentially extending sealing device that seals the secondary filter element in respect to a filter receptacle of the filter arrangement. The circumferentially extending sealing device has an oval geometry with a long side and a short side. The circumferentially extending sealing device has an outer surface projecting, in a radial direction of the secondary filter element, farther past the filter medium when viewed along the short side compared to when viewed along the long side. A filter arrangement has a filter receptacle. A main filter element is received in the filter receptacle, and a secondary filter element is received in the main filter element. The circumferentially extending sealing device of the secondary filter element projects in a radial direction of the secondary filter element outwardly past an interior of the main filter element.

Filter and filter cartridge

A filter cartridge for a filter for filtration of a fluid has a prismatic basic shape with a base face and a top face arranged parallel to each other and each having a polygonal basic shape. The prismatic basic shape is provided with a first lateral face and a second lateral face neighboring the first lateral face, wherein the first lateral face is an inflow surface and is substantially positioned perpendicular to the neighboring second lateral face. The prismatic basic shape has a third lateral face that is an outflow surface and is positioned at an angle relative to the first lateral face, wherein the angle is greater than 10° and smaller than 80°. A filter with such a filter cartridge is disclosed.

System and method for cleaning an air intake screen of a work vehicle

A system for cleaning an air intake screen of a work vehicle may include an engine air intake assembly having an air intake screen through which an airflow is directed for subsequent delivery to an engine of a work vehicle. The system may further include a nozzle provided in operative association with the engine air intake assembly and directed towards the air intake screen. Additionally, the system may include a pressurized fluid source configured to supply pressurized fluid to the nozzle. The pressurized fluid received by the nozzle is expelled from the nozzle and directed through the air intake screen.

Air cleaner

An air cleaner includes a base member including a base wall extending substantially horizontally, and a cover member attached to an upper side of the base wall to jointly define a filter chamber for receiving a filter element therein. The air cleaner further includes a passage member communicating with the filter chamber and incorporated with a plurality of air ejection pipes each surrounded by an annular air inlet passage fitted with guide vanes for rotating the air flow, and a case member defining separation chambers for separating dust from the rotating air flow. The passage member is interposed between the cover member and the case member.
