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.
Hood of a Multi Cyclone Block of an Air Cleaner And Air Cleaner
The present invention relates to a hood (40) of a multi cyclone block (12) and an air cleaner (10). The cyclone block (12) has a plurality of cyclone cells (28). The hood (40) having at least one hood-inlet (50) and at least one hood-outlet (52) for air to be fed to the cyclone cells (28). The at least one hood-outlet (52) is designed for surrounding, a plurality of cell-inlets (36) of the cyclone cells (28) of the cyclone block (12). A wall (70) of the hood (40) defines a distributor volume (72) inside the hood (40), which is located between the at least one hood-inlet (50) and the at least one hood-outlet (52). The wall (70) has at least one line or area of inflection (74), where at least one inner surface of the wall (70) changes its curvature.
AIR CLEANER ASSEMBLIES
A filter cartridge configured to be removably positionable within an inner opening of a housing, wherein the filter cartridge includes a media pack having an inlet end, an outlet end, and an outer surface having an outer peripheral shape, at least one of: (a) a frame member at least partially surrounding the media pack, the frame member including a frame wall having a shape that is different from the outer perimeter shape of the media pack; and (b) a shell at least partially surrounding the media pack, the shell including a shell wall having a shape that is different from the outer perimeter shape of the media pack, and a sealing member extending at least partially around the inlet end of the media pack, wherein the sealing member comprises a pinch seal portion that is spaced from the outer surface of the media pack.
Dual Engine Agricultural Harvesting Combine
Disclosed is an articulated harvesting combine of a forward power processing unit (PPU) and a rear grain cart, wherein the PPU carries dual axially mounted engines with oppositely opposed crankshafts with one toward the rear grain cart and the other engine away from the rear grain cart, there being no comingling of flywheel output power flow between the two engines.
Filter element, element frame of a filter element, filter bellows of a filter element, filter housing, and filter
A fluid filter has a filter housing with inlet opening for fluid to be cleaned and outlet opening for cleaned fluid. A filter element arranged in an element receptacle of the filter housing separates inlet opening from outlet opening. The filter housing has a housing body with an installation opening to the element receptacle, through which the filter element in an installation direction is introduced into the element receptacle. The filter housing has a housing cover for closing the installation opening. The installation opening is arranged in a transverse side of the housing body that is lateral relative to the housing axis. The filter housing has a sealing surface, surrounding the housing axis at least partially circumferentially, for contacting a seal of the filter element. The filter element has a seal support device for the seal and the filter housing has a pressing device for the seal support device.
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.
PRECLEANER ARRANGEMENT FOR USE IN AIR FILTRATION AND METHODS
A precleaner arrangement for separating a portion of entrained material from air flow air entering an engine air cleaner. The precleaner arrangement includes a precleaner housing and at least a first flexible air deflection vane with a fixed portion secured to the precleaner housing and a deflectable portion. The deflectable portion includes a curved section extending from the fixed portion and a tail section extending from the curved section. The deflectable portion is configured to deflect in response to a sufficient air flow rate change through the precleaner arrangement, in use. Some arrangements will also include a second stage, outlet vane assembly.
AIR INTAKE SYSTEM AND VEHICLE
An air intake system (100″) for vehicle is provided. The air intake system (100″) includes an air filter assembly (108), and an air conduit (101). The air filter assembly (108) includes a first part mounted to a frame of the vehicle, and a second part mounted to a chassis of the vehicle. The first part and second part are arranged in such a manner that the attachment of the frame and the chassis together causes assembly of the first part and second part of the air filter assembly (108). The air conduit (101) includes an inlet end (103) and an outlet end (105), and coupled to a turbocharger. The air conduit (101) extends horizontally between the inlet end (103) and the outlet end (105) and comprises a plurality of segments such that a first segment bends at predefined angles to couple to a second segment of the plurality of segments.
Air flow conditioning device
A filter assembly includes a support fame, a filter media, and a conditioning device. The filter media is coupled to the support frame. The filter media has a dirty side that receives an air stream and a clean side that outputs the air stream after having been filtered by the filter media. The conditioning device is coupled to the support frame. The conditioning device is positioned downstream of the clean side of the filter media with respect to the air stream and directly contacts the clean side of the filter media.
Intake system of vehicle
An intake system of a vehicle is configured so that air moves along a ‘U’-shaped movement path from an entrance of an intake duct portion into which outside air is introduced to a position where a filter is mounted, and is configured so that the intake duct portion, an air cleaner body portion, and an external resonator are formed integrally with each other.
