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.

The invention pertains to an air filter element comprising: a filter medium pack comprising a filter medium, said filter medium pack having an optionally substantially planar first side and an optionally substantially planar second side, said first side and second side optionally being parallel; and a guiding rim comprising a sealing surface having at least a radially oriented component, arranged on at least one of said first side and said second side, wherein a circumference of the or each guiding rim comprises at least one convex portion and at least one concave portion; and wherein a contour of said filter medium pack corresponds to said convex portion of said guiding rim and at least part of said concave portion. The invention also pertains to a method for producing an air filter element.

A filter element for an air filter of a motor vehicle includes a frame part which surrounds a filter material of the filter element. The filter element is insertable into a receiving space which is provided by a housing of the air filter. The filter element has a holding element which is movable from an initial position into a functional position by inserting the filter element in the receiving space. In the functional position, a fastening element can be fixed to the holding element. The fastening element is configured for securing a cover element, which is used to close an insertion opening of the receiving space, to the housing.

A filter cartridge for an air cleaner assembly is disclosed. The filter cartridge can include a media pack configured for installation into an air cleaner housing, the media pack extending along a longitudinal axis between opposite inlet and outlet flow ends, the media pack defining an outer perimeter. The filter cartridge can also include a circumferential shell surrounding at least a portion of the media pack outer perimeter. A radial flange extending from the circumferential shell proximate the media pack inlet end can also be provided. The flange can define a plurality of openings that are configured to receive protrusions on a housing body of the air cleaner assembly. The interaction between the protrusions and openings operates to ensure a secure seal between the housing body and the seal member.

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.

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.

Thermoplastic bicomponent binder fiber can be combined with other media, fibers and other filtration components to form a thermally bonded filtration media. The filtration media can be used in filter units, such as breather caps. Such filter units can be placed in the stream of a mobile fluid and can remove a particulate and/or fluid mist load from the mobile stream. The unique combination of media fiber, bicomponent binder fiber and other filtration additives and components provide a filtration media having unique properties in filtration applications.

Various example embodiments relate to a filtration system. The filtration system comprises a housing having a first housing end and a second housing end. The housing defines a central compartment therein. The housing comprises a key slot disposed on the first housing end and a housing key element protruding from the first housing end toward the second housing end. The filtration system further comprises a filter element positioned within the central compartment of the housing. The filter element has a first filter end and a second filter end. The filter element includes filter media and an endplate disposed on the first filter end. The endplate includes a central endplate opening, a key element configured for engagement with the key slot, and an installation guidance element formed along the central endplate opening. The installation guidance element is configured for engagement with the housing key element.

An apparatus and a method are provided for an air box configured to cool an engine control unit (ECU) by way of an airstream being communicated to an air intake system of an internal combustion engine of a vehicle. The air box is comprised of a housing to support an air filter within an interior of the housing. An opening in the housing fixedly receives at least one surface of the ECU to transfer heat from the ECU to the airstream. A mount portion within the housing receives the air filter. A conduit to a clean side of the air filter is configured to be coupled with the air intake system. An inlet to the housing is configured to couple with an air inlet duct of the vehicle so as to direct the airstream into the interior of the housing.
