A filter cartridge assembly is disclosed, which includes a housing having a reservoir for collecting fluids entering the housing through a gas return path, a sensor located within the reservoir for detecting a fluid level therein, and a backer plate positioned within the housing adjacent an inlet port to the reservoir and including fluid management structure to shield the sensor from fluid entering the reservoir from the gas return path through the inlet port and causing a false indication of the fluid level in the reservoir.

An air filter has a filter housing having a raw air inlet and further has a filter element arranged in the filter housing. The filter element has a filter medium body and an end disk with a central primary air passage and a secondary air passage. The filter medium body annularly surrounds a longitudinal axis of the filter element and separates a raw side in the filter housing from a clean side inside the filter element. The filter housing has a primary air outlet communicating through the primary air passage with the clean side of the filter element. The filter housing has a secondary air outlet communicating through the secondary air passage with the clean side of the filter element. The secondary air outlet communicates with the secondary air passage through a channel arranged at the filter element, wherein the channel surrounds the primary air passage annularly and coaxially.

A vortex particle separator has an impeller at a housing inlet with impeller blades spiraling around an impeller shaft and longitudinal axis of the separator to impart either clockwise or counterclockwise rotation to air flowing through the impeller when viewed looking downstream along the axis. The upstream end of each impeller blade is inclined in a direction opposite to the direction the air rotates when passing through the impeller, measured from a radial baseline through the axis and the juncture of the blade with the center shaft of the impeller. Thus, in each orthogonal plane along the axial length of the impeller the juncture of the blade with the housing is offset from the baseline in the rotational direction opposite the direction in which air flows through the impeller. An offset angle of 45° to 55° is believed suitable.

Method for arranging on a component of a recipient (100) a gas filter comprising a filter layer of filter material (120) and a cover layer of covering material (130), wherein the filter layer (120) is located between the component of the recipient (100) and the cover layer (130), the method further comprising: welding the filter layer (120) and the cover layer (130) to the component of the recipient (100) by arranging welds (140) such that between two welds (140), welds tunnels (150) filled with filter material (120) are formed, which are intended to enable gas exchange between the interior of the recipient (100) and an area externally of the recipient (100).

An air filter including two opposing open ends, and a filter area circumferentially enclosing a cavity in between. The first open end frictionally and sealingly engages the filter housing including an air port, while the second end engages the housing to close the second end from passage of air. The filter area may be reinforced to provide a durable, reusable filter. The filter material may be selected to provide depth loading and increase the particulate capacity of the filter.
