Systems and methods for detecting a missing coalescing element in a CV system are described. In some arrangements, the described systems and methods prevent the assembly and/or re-assembly of the CV system without an appropriate coalescing element positioned within the CV system housing (e.g., during a coalescing element service operation). In some arrangements, the coalescing element depresses a spring-loaded component of a shaft that provides flow of bypass gases to the CV system. If the spring-loaded component is not depressed, significant restriction is introduced to the CV system, and an on-board-diagnostic system may detect high-crankcase pressure through existing crankcase pressure sensors and de-rate the internal combustion engine. In other arrangements, a spring-loaded mechanism within the shaft prevents a housing cover (e.g., a lid to the housing of the CV system) from being repositioned when a coalescing element is not installed within the housing.

The invention relates to a device (1) for separating an air/oil mixture comprising an air/oil mixture inlet (8), an oil receiving chamber (9), an air circulation duct (11), at least one filter element (21) rotatably coupled to a rotating drive shaft (12), the device (1) being designed so that the mixture from the above-mentioned inlet (8) opens into the chamber (9) and is driven through the rotatably driven filter element (21), so that the oil contained in the mixture is centrifuged radially outside the filter element (21) and fed into the oil receiving chamber (9), the filtered air opening into the air flow line (11), characterized in that the rotating drive shaft (12) is coupled to a turbine (26) capable of being driven in rotation by at least part of the filtered air flow, the turbine (26) comprising an outlet (29) of the filtered flow which opens to the outside.

Air cleaner assemblies, components, features and methods of assembly and use are described. Example air cleaner assemblies are depicted and described in which a main filter cartridge sealing surface is recessed from an open end of a housing body. An access cover of the housing is configured with a portion extending inwardly to engage a main filter cartridge portion and bias it against the main filter cartridge sealing surface. In selected assemblies, the portion of the access cover extending inwardly toward the main filter cartridge, is a precleaner having flow separator tubes therein.

A filtration system includes a rotary drum and a media holding band that is configured to hold a filtration media on an outer surface of the rotary drum. The media holding band includes a strap and a connector. The strap includes a first end and a second end opposite the first end. The connector is configured to secure the first end of the strap relative to the second end of the strap.

A rotating coalescer having an ejected coalesced liquid separating device is described. The separating device prevents re-entrainment of liquid into a stream of filtered gas. The rotating coalescer includes a rotating filter element or coalescing cone stack positioned within a rotating coalescer housing. The outer surface of the rotating filter element or the outlet of the coalescing cone stack is displaced from the inner surface of the rotating coalescer housing. The gap between the rotating filter element or the coalescing cone stack and the rotating coalescer housing allows for ejected coalesced liquid, such as oil, to accumulate on the inner surface of the rotating coalescer housing for drainage and allows for filtered gas, such as air, to exit through a clean gas outlet of the rotating coalescer housing.
