20210381474 · 2021-12-09 · ·

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.

COMPRESSOR PORTED SHROUD WITH PARTICLE SEPARATOR

A ported shroud for a compressor associated with a gas turbine engine includes a primary inlet configured to be in fluid communication with the compressor, and the primary inlet is defined to extend along a central axis of the ported shroud. The ported shroud includes a bellmouth that surrounds the primary inlet, and a port plenum configured to be in fluid communication with the compressor. The port plenum extends along an axis that is transverse to the central axis of the ported shroud and transverse to a direction of fluid flow. The port plenum has a port plenum inlet defined about the axis, and the port plenum inlet is defined through the bellmouth such that a tortuous path is defined to the port plenum inlet. The port plenum including a port plenum outlet downstream from the port plenum inlet configured to be in fluid communication with the compressor.

Fluid catalytic cracking process and apparatus for maximizing light olefin yield and other applications

Apparatus and processes herein provide for converting hydrocarbon feeds to light olefins and other hydrocarbons. The processes and apparatus include, in some embodiments, feeding a hydrocarbon, a first catalyst and a second catalyst to a reactor, wherein the first catalyst has a smaller average particle size and is less dense than the second catalyst. A first portion of the second catalyst may be recovered as a bottoms product from the reactor, and a cracked hydrocarbon effluent, a second portion of the second catalyst, and the first catalyst may be recovered as an overhead product from the reactor. The second portion of the second catalyst may be separated from the overhead product, providing a first stream comprising the first catalyst and the hydrocarbon effluent and a second stream comprising the separated second catalyst, allowing return of the separated second catalyst in the second stream to the reactor.
