A filter element for filtering a fluid passing through the filter element, the filter element having a fluid entry face and a fluid exit face and is provided with a group of first channels and a group of second channels, through which the fluid to be filtered can flow from the respective first channel into the second channel, that is arranged next to it, wherein a through-channel leads through a filter pack from the fluid entry face to the fluid exit face, which through-channel has an opening at the fluid entry face and/or has an opening at the fluid exit face, wherein an element closes the flow of fluid through through-channel, while leaving a volume open inside the through-channel that is at least 10% of the volume that the through-channel would have without the element, or the element allows the flow of fluid through the through-channel and interacts with the flow of fluid through the through-channel and/or the sidewalls of the through-channel deviate at least in some areas from a cylindrical wall in order to thereby create an element that interacts with a flow of fluid through the through-channel.

A vacuum pump includes a casing having a first inlet orifice and a second outlet orifice to allow a flow of air, and in the interior of which a filtering element is mounted in a removable way. At least one orifice of the casing selected from among the first inlet orifice and the second outlet orifice is located on an exhaust lid. The exhaust lid is removable from the casing but integral with the filtering element. The connection between the casing and the exhaust lid is not tight. A cartridge for the vacuum pump includes an exhaust lid integrated in the closure nozzle of the filtering element. The connection between the casing and the exhaust lid is not tight.

The invention relates to a filter element for mounting in an air cleaner housing of a vehicle. The filter element comprises a circumferential filtering wall through which air is allowed to enter. The filter element also comprises a first end and an open second end for fluidly connecting the filter element to a turbo. The open second end is located opposite the first end. The circumferential filtering wall extends from the first end towards the open second end. The filter element further comprises a resonator. The entire resonator is encircled by the circumferential filtering wall such that air entering through the circumferential filtering wall passes on the outside of the resonator to and through the open second end.

An air filter housing includes an inner housing space adapted to receive an air filter element. The air filter housing includes a first end and a second end located axially opposite the first end in relation to the inner housing space, and an outlet channel path extending from the inner housing space and out from the second end, the outlet channel path having a length X m, the length X m being adapted to stabilize a noise having a wavelength of Y m travelling through the outlet channel path towards the inner housing space, wherein the length X m is related to the wavelength Y m according to the following relationship: Y/16<X<Y/8

An air purification-aromatherapy machine includes a housing, an aromatherapy assembly, a filter screen, and an air extractor; the housing is provided with an air inlet and an air outlet; the aromatherapy assembly, the filter screen and the air extractor are placed in the housing; the air extractor comprises a fan, an air duct configured for guiding an airflow blown by the fan to the air outlet, and a sound absorber configured for absorbing noise of the airflow; an end of the air duct is extended to the air outlet, the sound absorber is placed in the air duct and corresponding to the air outlet.

An air cleaner for a vehicle includes a case having an air inlet pipe and an air outlet pipe. A cover is removably attached to the case for covering an open top portion of the case. With the cover attached to the case an interior of the air cleaner defines a flow passage directed through the air cleaner from the air inlet pipe to the air outlet pipe. A filter element is received in the interior and is arranged over the flow passage. The flow passage immediately downstream of the filter element includes an elbow-shaped section for redirecting airflow from the filter element toward the air outlet pipe. The elbow-shaped section is provided with at least one first guide rib shaped correspondingly to the elbow-shaped section. The flow passage upstream of the air outlet pipe defines a branching section formed as an acoustic resonator for reducing air intake noise.

A vacuum cleaning apparatus may include a debris container and a filtering system. The debris container may define a debris collection chamber and include a dirty air inlet and a clean air outlet. The filtering system may be at least partially disposed in the debris collection chamber, and may include a fluff screen and a fluff screen cover defining a cavity for receiving at least a portion of the fluff screen. The fluff screen and the fluff screen cover may both include tapered outer surfaces. The tapered outer surfaces may have opposing tapers.

A multifunctional dust trap for reducing an acoustic noise and dust filtering comprising: an inlet connected to a gas inlet of a gas meter; a chamber, connected to the inlet, to receive a flow of a gas, comprises: a first wall to deflect the flow of the gas in a first direction, wherein the first wall directs the flow of the gas into a cross sectional area of the chamber, which reduces a velocity of the deflected gas such that a centrifugal force guides a plurality of dust particles towards a base of the chamber; and a second wall to deflect the flow of the gas in a second direction; and an outlet, attached to the chamber, to enable an exit of a clean flow of the gas away from one or more flow inlets of a flow tube installed within the gas meter.

Assemblies, apparatuses, and methods to extract or convey a material from a source of the material may include a vacuum generation and sound attenuation assembly. The vacuum generation and sound attenuation assembly may include a compressor housing having a vacuum source, a cooling system, and a vacuum controller. The vacuum source may include a compressor powered by an electric motor and positioned to cause a vacuum flow between the source of the material, and the vacuum generation and sound attenuation assembly. The vacuum generation and sound attenuation assembly may further include a sound attenuation chamber positioned to receive at least a portion of the vacuum flow from, and attenuate sound generated by, the vacuum source. The compressor housing and sound attenuation chamber of the vacuum generation and sound attenuation assembly may be arranged compactly on a common chassis for ease of transport and deployment.

A vacuum cleaner includes: a main-body assembly, which has a suction port; and a filter assembly, at least a portion of which is disposed more forward than the main-body assembly so as to oppose the suction port. The filter assembly includes: a support frame; a filter, which is supported on the support frame; and a retaining-rib member, which is inserted, from the front, into one or more grooves provided on the main-body assembly, the retaining-rib member being fixed to the support frame.
