An air intake assembly has an inlet member, a fluid reservoir, and an outlet. The inlet member defines a generally vertical oriented first fluid channel. The first fluid channel has a vertically extending portion, an upper inlet end, and a lower end. The fluid reservoir has an upper region that defines a second fluid channel. The fluid reservoir is attached to a lower end of the inlet member such that the first fluid channel vertically extending portion is substantially perpendicular to the second fluid channel. The fluid reservoir has an outlet defined by an aperture in a lower region of the fluid reservoir which forms a liquid collector. The trapdoor is pivotably attached to the fluid reservoir adjacent to the outlet. The rigid trapdoor is configured to open when exposed to a predetermined open force value to allow liquid to escape the liquid collector.

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.

This air cleaner device is capable of preventing liquid, in the air that has been sucked in, from escaping to the downstream side of a filter element. The air cleaner device is provided in an intake passage of an internal combustion engine, and comprises: the filter element for removing foreign matter contained in the air that has been sucked into the intake passage; and a collision/separation part which is disposed on a surface of the filter element such that the liquid is separated from the air as a result of the air colliding with the collision/separation part, on the upstream side of the filter element in the suction direction of the air.

The invention relates to a cascade impactor having a first stage comprising a plate (2) with fixed bores as gas inlet and at least a first impact wall (4) with a variable distance from the plate (2) as well as at least a second stage having a fixed second impact wall (5), which is arranged in the flow direction downstream of the first impact wall (4).

An air filter device for filtering the intake air of a combustion engine of a hand-held small tool, in particular an angle grinder, with a pre-filter stage having at least one cyclone air filter and with a main filter stage arranged downstream, having a permeable filter body, characterized in that a pre-separation device for pre-separating contaminations in the intake air is installed upstream of the intake air in front of the cyclone air filter, wherein the pre-separation device is configured in such a way that separated contaminations can be removed from the outside of the small tool.

The invention relates to an engine air filter unit for a vehicle (1) that is designed to supply filtered air to an internal combustion engine of the vehicle (1). The engine air filter unit (10) comprises a main filter (14), a mounting base (15) to secure the engine air filter unit (10) on at least one body panel (7, 71, 72) of the vehicle, a pre-separator fluidically connected to the main filter. The main filter (14) is arranged on a side of the mounting base (15) and the pre-separator (18) is arranged on the opposite side of the mounting base (15). The pre-separator housing is at least partly formed by the mounting base (15) and an air duct (19) extends through the mounting base (15) to fluidically connect the pre-separator to the filtration chamber.

An air intake device for a vehicle. The device includes an inlet for air, a first outlet arranged for providing air to an engine of the vehicle and a second outlet arranged for discharging liquid separated from the air provided to the first outlet, and an intermediate portion forming an air channel extending from the inlet to the first outlet and the second outlet. A bottom surface on the inside of the intermediate portion is inclined relative to a horizontal plane for directing liquid in the air channel towards the second outlet.

A filter device is provided with a filter housing provided with a housing wall and with a filter element arranged in the filter housing. The filter element has an annular filter medium body and an end disk arranged at an end face of the filter medium body. The filter medium body surrounds in a ring shape an inwardly positioned flow space for receiving a fluid to be filtered. An annular circumferentially extending flow path is positioned between an outer contour of the end disk and an inner side of the housing wall of the filter housing. Guide vanes project into the annular circumferentially extending flow path. The guide vanes are fastened at the end disk at the filter element. A cover is arranged at the end disk at the filter element and covers a portion of the annular circumferentially extending flow path.

A particle separator assembly includes an airbox providing an outer tapered portion tapering from a first section having a first cross sectional area to a first opening having a second cross sectional area less than the first cross sectional area. The example assembly includes a flow diverter providing an inner tapered portion that tapers to a second opening. The example assembly includes an air filter housed by the airbox, the air filter is spaced from the second opening in a first direction, and the first opening is spaced from the second opening in a second direction opposite the first direction.
