Siloxane mitigation in machine system having blower for pressure drop compensation
A siloxane mitigation system for a machine system having an internal combustion engine includes a siloxane trap having a plurality of adsorbent cartridges fluidly in parallel with one another, an air precleaner fluidly connected to a trap housing inlet, and a blower structured to blow intake air to the siloxane trap to compensate for a pressure drop across the siloxane trap. A trap performance sensor of the siloxane mitigation system is structured for monitoring an exhaust pressure to indicate performance degradation of the siloxane mitigation system and activate an operator-perceptible alert.
Engine air cleaner
An apparatus for removing debris from the intake of an engine includes an air cleaner housing with an inlet opening, an air entry cavity, one or more turbulent flow tubes, and at least one outlet opening. The inlet opening in the air cleaner housing is configured to receive an incoming flow of air from a blower. The air entry cavity is coupled with the inlet opening of the air cleaner housing. The one or more turbulent flow tubes configured to divide the flow of air from the air entry cavity and remove debris from the flow of air. The at least one outlet opening in the air cleaner housing is coupled to the one or more turbulent flow tubes and configured to expel the debris from the air cleaner housing. In addition, excess air from the air cleaner housing and/or combustion air is expelled from the air cleaner housing.
Air cleaner
An air cleaner has a body, an intake part to take air into the body, an exhaust pipe to exhaust the air from the body, a mounting section to mount an air flow meter to the exhaust pipe, a rib disposed on an inner surface of the body, and a straightening element disposed on an inner surface of the exhaust pipe. The rib extends toward the exhaust pipe and the straightening element extends in a same direction where the rib extends. The straightening element is located closer to the body than the mounting section.
Air cleaner
An air cleaner includes a case having an internal space, a filter element capable of partitioning the internal space into a first space and a second space, an intake port that introduces an air into the first space therethrough, an exhaust port that discharges an air from the second space, and at least one baffle part projecting toward the filter element from an inner surface of the case. The baffle part diffuses the air introduced into the first space and introduces the air to the filter element. The baffle part includes a widened baffle part. The widened baffle part includes a guide section extending along an extending surface of the filter element and a widened section larger in width than the guide section.
Air induction system with water detection
A vehicle includes an internal combustion engine and an air induction system configured to provide intake air to the internal combustion engine. The air induction system includes an intake port, an air box coupled to the intake port and having a wet side air box and a dry side air box, at least one sensor disposed within the air box and configured to detect a presence or level of liquid within the air box, and a watertight door disposed within the air box and configured to move between an open position that allows air to pass through the air box dry side, and a closed position that facilitates preventing liquid from passing into the air box dry side.
Intake device
An intake device includes an air filter that filters intake air for an internal combustion engine, a filter casing housing the air filter, and an air physical quantity sensor. The filter casing includes an intake passage to allow the intake air to pass from upstream to downstream of the air filter. The filter casing has a passage wall portion that is electrically conductive and exposed to the intake passage on a downstream side of the air filter. The air physical quantity sensor has: a sensor element that detects a specific physical quantity related to the intake air on a downstream side of the air filter; and a grounding structure electrically connected to the passage wall portion for grounding the sensor element.
Multiple intake air filtration device
The Multiple Intake Air Filtration Device of this invention is a superior, highly efficient air cleaner that utilizes an array of multiple-intake cyclonic tubes spinning air at high speed to efficiently remove the specific sizes of dirt and other particulates that can be ingested in off-road and highway vehicle operations. This Multiple Intake Air Filtration Device is well-suited for use with both normally-aspirated engines and turbocharged engines. It is superior to automotive air cleaners that filter out dirt by use of a screen or porous media because it never becomes clogged as dirt and particulates are filtered out, and it is superior to devices that utilize only a single air flow through cyclonic tubes, because the device of this invention cleans intake air more efficiently while providing a strong flow of clean air to the engine or other component.
Electronic fuel injection system and method for engines
A system includes an electronic fuel injection system of an engine, the electronic fuel injection system including an electronic governor control unit for controlling various functions of the engine.
AN AIR FILTER HOUSING AND AN AIR FILTER ELEMENT
An air filter housing has an inner housing space adapted to receive an air filter element. The air filter housing includes a first housing end and a second housing end located axially opposite the first housing end in relation to the inner housing space, and an outlet pipe extending from the second housing end axially into the inner housing space. The outlet pipe has a center axis and an opening configured to receive clean air from the inner housing space, wherein at least an axial portion of the outlet pipe has a cross-sectional area along a geometrical plane perpendicular to the centre axis which is tapering.
AIR CLEANER
There is provided an air cleaner configured to be disposed inside a vehicle body frame, the air cleaner including: an air cleaner case in which an intake chamber is formed; an intake air temperature sensor configured to detect an intake air temperature in the intake chamber; an inlet tube configured to take in air to the intake chamber; and an outlet tube configured to send out air from the intake chamber. The outlet tube has an upstream portion protruding into the intake chamber, and the upstream portion of the outlet tube has a peripheral wall formed with a through hole.
