The first outlet and the second outlet extend in a lateral direction, and the first air-processing apparatus and the second air-processing apparatus are arranged in the lateral direction.

An air-conditioning system is provided that may include a first air-processing apparatus, which includes a first inlet formed in a first surface thereof that extends perpendicular to a floor or a ceiling and a first outlet formed in a second surface thereof perpendicular to the first inlet and induces air introduced into the first inlet to exchange heat with refrigerant and to be discharged through the first outlet, and a second air-processing apparatus, which includes a second outlet formed therein so as to be open in a same direction as the first outlet and a second inlet formed therein so as to be open in a same direction as the first inlet. The air-conditioning system may be driven in a combined operation mode in which the first and second air-processing apparatuses operate simultaneously or an independent operation mode in which one of the first air-processing apparatus or the second air-processing apparatus operates.

An air pollution prevention device applied for a baby carriage includes a sealing cover, a filtration cleaner, a gas detection module and an intelligent control and process device. The sealing cover is hooded on the baby carriage for forming a sealed space. The filtration cleaner penetrates the sealing cover form the outside of the baby carriage for introducing an outside air into the sealed space of the baby carriage and discharging an air pollution source out of the sealed space. The gas detection module detects the air pollution source and outputs gas detection data. The intelligent control and process device receives and compares the gas detection data and controls an enablement of a gas guider of the filtration cleaner for filtering and exchanging the air pollution source in the sealed space so as to generate a clean air.

A cleaning apparatus of a work machine for cleaning debris from a screen mounted to a door of an engine cooling assembly. The cleaning apparatus includes a duct extending along the screen and along a first side of the door. The duct includes a duct end located at the door. A vacuum assembly is configured to draw a vacuum through the duct, wherein the vacuum assembly is detachably connected with the duct end. An alignment mechanism includes an aligner that extends from the duct to a frame of the work machine. The alignment mechanism aligns the duct end with the vacuum assembly to provide a seal between the duct and the vacuum.

An air cleaner assembly comprises a filter element and a housing assembly. The filter element comprises a filter media for filtering a fluid and a first endcap positioned along a first end of the filter media and through which a first filtered air flow portion flows. The housing assembly at least partially contains the filter element and comprises a cover that defines a first outlet through which the first filtered air flow portion flows to a downstream device. The cover comprises a noise reduction device that receives the first filtered air flow portion and dissipates sound waves traveling upstream from the downstream device.

The present disclosure provides a floor cleaner that includes a replaceable component, such as a filter. The floor cleaner has a detection mechanism comprising a magnet on the replaceable component and a Hall Effect sensor positioned to detect the permanent magnet when the replaceable component is correctly installed on the floor cleaner. Operation of one or more electrically-powered components of the floor cleaner is prevented when the permanent magnet is not detected by the Hall Effect sensor.

A filter element is provided. The filter element includes a filter media pack including an outer surface. The outer surface extending between a first flow face and a second flow face. The filter element also includes a polymeric coating applied to the outer surface of the filter media pack, wherein the polymeric coating is not a molded structure. In embodiments, the polymeric coating covers at least 25% of a span between the first flow face and the second flow face and has an average thickness of between 0.005 and 0.100 in. In other embodiments, the polymeric coating has a surface roughness of at least 50 μin to provide an outer gripping surface. A method and system for applying the polymeric coating to the filter element are also provided.

A ridge vent for ventilating a roof of a building via a hole along a roof ridge to atmosphere, the ridge vent comprising a first ridge vent panel: a flange portion for resting on the roof, the flange portion having an opening for overlapping with the hole, the flange portion having a first flange portion positioned to one side of the opening and a second flange portion positioned to another side of the opening, such that the first flange portion and the second flange portion are at an acute angle with respect to one another; a frame portion coupled to the flange portion and having sides extending upwardly from the flange portion about the opening, the frame portion for maintaining a cap portion in a spaced apart relationship with the flange portion; the cap portion connected to the frame portion and covering over the opening; a first corrugated filter plate extending between the cap portion and the flange portion and positioned transversely between the opening and the atmosphere, the first corrugated filter plate positioned to said one side of the opening; and a second corrugated filter plate extending between the cap and the flange portion and positioned transversely between the opening and the atmosphere, the second corrugated filter plate positioned to said another side of the opening; wherein the corrugated filter plates providing for a passage of air between the atmosphere and the opening, the corrugated filter plates having a pore size sufficient for facilitating the air passage of air through the corrugated filter plates while blocking passage of atmospheric particles through the corrugated filter plates.

A frame with a hinged cover is provided, including four frames connected to each other form a rectangular main frame, and at least one edge of the four frames is provided with a hinged cover assembly. The hinged cover assembly includes a hinged cover main body, a hinged cover edge, and an arc-shaped spring piece. The hinged cover edge can be turned around the hinged cover main body; one end of the arc-shaped spring piece is clamped to the hinged cover main body, the other end of the arc-shaped spring piece is clamped to the hinged cover edge.
