Air cleaner
An air cleaner may include a filter element and a housing defining an inner space. The inner space may be divided by the filter element into a dust-side air chamber on an upstream side and a clean-side air chamber on a downstream side. Air introduced into the housing may be dischargable via an outlet pipe, to which an air flow sensor is attachable, connected to the clean-side air chamber. The outlet pipe may extend in a direction different from a normal to the filter element. A plurality of ribs may be disposed on an inner surface of a clean-side portion of the housing that defines the clean-side air chamber. The plurality of ribs may extend from a corner portion of the housing toward the filter element and the outlet pipe. A distance between adjacent ribs of the plurality of ribs may decrease in a direction toward the outlet pipe.
Air Filter Adapter
Present embodiments relate to an air filter adapter for use with open style engine air filters. More particularly, but without limitation, present embodiments relate to a filter adapter having a hydrocarbon trap positioned within the adapter.
Single-transport mobile electric power generation
A power generation transport includes a gas turbine, an inlet plenum coupled to an intake of the gas turbine, a generator driven by the gas turbine, and an air intake and exhaust module including an air inlet filter housing, an intake air duct coupled to the housing at a first end and to the inlet plenum at a second end, and an exhaust collector coupled to an exhaust of the gas turbine. The transport further includes at least one base frame. The frame mounts and aligns the gas turbine, the inlet plenum, the generator, and the air intake and exhaust module. The intake air duct is mounted on the base frame so as to be disposed underneath the gas turbine, and extend along the base frame from an exhaust end side of the gas turbine to an intake end side, in a longitudinal direction of the power generation transport.
AIR FILTER WITH INTEGRATED SEAL LIP
The invention is based on an air filter with a filter element (28), a substantially cylindrical filter housing (12) with an unfiltered air inlet (18) and a filtered air outlet (20) arranged substantially concentrically on a first end face of the filter housing (12), wherein an extension tube (22) projects into the interior of the filter housing (12) at the filtered air outlet (20) and the filter element (28) comprises a first end plate (24) which can be plugged onto the extension tube (22).
It is proposed that the first end plate (24) is formed of plastic and comprises a sealing lip (30) formed thereon and projecting radially inwardly, which sealing lip (30) rests against the extension tube (22) in the plugged-on state.
AIR CLEANER ARRANGEMENT WITH END SUPPORT FOR CARTRIDGE; COMPONENTS; AND, METHODS
An air cleaner assembly is described and shown which includes a housing having an air flow inlet, an air flow outlet and a housing body and access cover. A serviceable filter cartridge is positioned within the housing. A projection/receiver arrangement providing for engagement between the cartridge and the housing is provided. The projection/receiver arrangement can be configured in a manner that inhibits undesired motion of the cartridge, once installed. An example projection/receiver arrangement is provided, which includes a serpentine receiving groove on the access cover and a serpentine projection on the filter cartridge. Example filter cartridge features are described.
Opening/closing mechanism of intake member
An opening/closing mechanism of an intake member includes: an intake member that accommodates a filter part and has an opening leading to a carburetor in an end wall opposing the filter part; an opening/closing member disposed between the filter part and the end wall, and opens/closes the opening; and a working member disposed on an opposite side to the opening/closing member so as to interpose the end wall, and allows the opening/closing member to be operated. The working member includes: an arm part which extends along the end wall and is linked with the opening/closing member to interpose the end wall at one end part, and a holding part provided to another end part of the arm part. The intake member has a guide hole into which the arm part is inserted and guides movement of the arm part.
Filtration device having a latch mechanism
A filtration device may include a filter element and a housing that is configured to receive the filter element. The filter element may include a casing having a first outer surface and a flange connected to the first outer surface. The flange may include a plurality of snap members. A snap member, of the plurality of snap members, may include a fulcrum projecting from the flange and a lever mounted on the fulcrum. The housing may include a shell having a second outer surface and a plurality of ramp members. The plurality of ramp members may be fixedly connected to the second outer surface and may be configured to engage the plurality of snap members of the filter element. A ramp member, of the plurality of ramp members, may include an angled surface that extends from the second outer surface at an acute angle relative to the second outer surface.
PROTUBERANT COMPRESSIBLE FILTER SEAL DESIGN UTILIZING UNDERCUTS
Various embodiments relate to a filter housing seal member. The filter housing seal member includes a first member end and a second member end disposed axially away from the first member end. A first member portion is disposed between the first member end and the second member end. A second member portion is disposed between the first member end and the second member end. The second member portion is disposed radially away from the first member portion. An undercut is positioned along the first member portion, the undercut configured to receive and form a seal with a filter seal member of a filter element.
Motor vehicle engine air intake system, an air filter enclosure assembly and vehicle engine air intake method
Vehicle Engine Air Intake System and Method (to be accompanied by FIGS. 1 and 3) In a motor vehicle (12), an air filter housing (14) is at least partially defined by a cross-member (28) forming part of a structural front end module of the vehicle body. The cross-member (28) defines a recess (44) for receiving an air filter (90) and at least one air inlet aperture opening into the recess. An air filter enclosure assembly is mounted to the cross-member over an open face of the recess. The air filter enclosure assembly may include an air filter enclosure (42) and an air filter (90).
Air flow conditioning device
A filter assembly includes a support fame, a filter media, and a conditioning device. The filter media is coupled to the support frame. The filter media has a dirty side that receives an air stream and a clean side that outputs the air stream after having been filtered by the filter media. The conditioning device is coupled to the support frame. The conditioning device is positioned downstream of the clean side of the filter media with respect to the air stream and directly contacts the clean side of the filter media.
