A hood air intake and water separation system includes a first separation chamber having a first inlet fluidly coupled to a hood intake vent of the vehicle, a first outlet, and at least one first drain opening. The first separation chamber is configured to separate water and air ingested through the intake and direct the separated water through the at least one first drain opening and direct the separated air through the first outlet. A second separation chamber includes a second inlet fluidly coupled to the first separation chamber first outlet, a second outlet, and at least one second drain opening. A third chamber includes a third inlet fluidly coupled to the second separation chamber second outlet, and a third outlet. The first and second separation chambers are configured to direct ingested water away from an airpath to the engine.

A filter device is provided with a filter housing provided with a housing wall and with a filter element arranged in the filter housing. The filter element has an annular filter medium body and an end disk arranged at an end face of the filter medium body. The filter medium body surrounds in a ring shape an inwardly positioned flow space for receiving a fluid to be filtered. An annular circumferentially extending flow path is positioned between an outer contour of the end disk and an inner side of the housing wall of the filter housing. Guide vanes project into the annular circumferentially extending flow path. The guide vanes are fastened at the end disk at the filter element. A cover is arranged at the end disk at the filter element and covers a portion of the annular circumferentially extending flow path.

The present invention relates to a multi-modal multi-media air filtration system which can include: a base having one or more connection features and a filter media assembly, the filter media assembly being configured to attach to the base at a first end and the cap at a second end. The filter media assembly also including a first filter media extending across a primary air flow path and a second filter media extending across a secondary air flow path. The air filtration assembly then includes a blocking mechanism and an actuation assembly being configured to work together so as to selectively open or close the secondary air flow path so as to alternate the degree of filtration passing through the filter media based on the degree of desired filtration.

A breather device and a snow removal machine having the breather device have a casing into which blowby gas of an engine flows, an air suction port for letting out gas from the inside of the casing, and a gas-liquid separation mechanism for separating moisture contained in the blowby gas. The gas-liquid separation mechanism separates an inlet, which allows the blowby gas to flow in, and the air suction port by a predetermined distance, and has the air suction port positioned above a liquid path through which the moisture flows. A gas path allows the blowby gas to flow from the inlet to the air suction port without passing through an air cleaner element.

An intake device is provided for the combustion air of a motorcycle, including an air filter box and an air guide intake duct which extends from the air filter box in a defined orientation to an intake chamber and at least sections of which are formed by parts of the air filter box.

A precleaner for engine air filtration includes a housing, separator tubes for inducing cyclonic airflow, and channel arrangements in airflow communication with the separator tubes to channel airflow and particulates toward a dust outlet arrangement.

The invention relates to an engine air filter unit for a vehicle (1) that is designed to supply filtered air to an internal combustion engine of the vehicle (1). The engine air filter unit (10) comprises a main filter (14), a mounting base (15) to secure the engine air filter unit (10) on at least one body panel (7, 71, 72) of the vehicle, a pre-separator fluidically connected to the main filter. The main filter (14) is arranged on a side of the mounting base (15) and the pre-separator (18) is arranged on the opposite side of the mounting base (15). The pre-separator housing is at least partly formed by the mounting base (15) and an air duct (19) extends through the mounting base (15) to fluidically connect the pre-separator to the filtration chamber.

An inertial separator including an inlet tube with an undercut, an outlet tube with a spiral ramp, and a scavenge flow outlet, is disclosed.

A spin tube assembly for an engine air cleaner is provided. The spin tube assembly includes a housing, a spin tube panel, a plurality of spin tubes and at least one constrictor. The plurality of spin tubes are supported on the spin tube panel in parallel relation to one another. Each spin tube of the plurality of spin tubes includes a helical element causing air entering the spin tube to rotate such that particles within the air are moved by centrifugal action outwardly against a wall of the spin tube. At least one spin tube of the plurality of spin tubes has a constrictor upstream from the helical element thereof. The constrictor causes a localized restriction of air entering the at least one spin tube compared to the spin tubes without constrictors. Methods of use and configuration are also provided.

The invention relates to a cascade impactor having a first stage comprising a plate (2) with fixed bores as gas inlet and at least a first impact wall (4) with a variable distance from the plate (2) as well as at least a second stage having a fixed second impact wall (5), which is arranged in the flow direction downstream of the first impact wall (4).
