Non-cylindrical filter and side entry air cleaner incorporating the same
A filter element is provided that is preferably a side entry air filter having an air filter media pack, a housing seal and a frame that has a clamping projection, a pivot projection and/or guide members. The clamping projection can define a non-linear bearing surface that may be chevron shaped to provide for interface and potential alignment benefits. The housing seal may be a wave seal that undulates.
Filter element, filter system comprising a filter element, and method for producing a filter element
A filter element has a filter body which is closed on at least one end face by an end disc, wherein the end disc is formed from a potting compound, and has a stabilization device which is surrounded at least in some areas by the potting compound. At least one data storage unit is arranged on or in the stabilization device.
Engine control unit cooling air box
An apparatus and a method are provided for an air box configured to cool an engine control unit (ECU) by way of an airstream being communicated to an air intake system of an internal combustion engine of a vehicle. The air box is comprised of a housing to support an air filter within an interior of the housing. An opening in the housing fixedly receives at least one surface of the ECU to transfer heat from the ECU to the airstream. A mount portion within the housing receives the air filter. A conduit to a clean side of the air filter is configured to be coupled with the air intake system. An inlet to the housing is configured to couple with an air inlet duct of the vehicle so as to direct the airstream into the interior of the housing.

Air filter device
An air filter device includes an air filter and a filter case having a filter housing for housing the air filter. The filter case has a pipe part enclosing an outer circumference of a second end of a filler pipe. The second end of the filler pipe defines a fuel filler opening and is opposite to a first end of the filler pipe connected to a fuel tank of a vehicle. A distance between the pipe part and the fuel filler opening is less than a distance between the filter housing and the fuel filler opening. The pipe part is configured to be inserted into a fixed member fixed to a vehicle body. The pipe part has a flange that extends radially outward from the pipe part and is spaced apart from the filter housing in an axial direction.
Cover rigidity reinforcement member of air cleaner and air cleaner including the same
An air cleaner includes an intake filter seated on an air cleaner body, an air cleaner cover spaced apart from the intake filter and coupled to the air cleaner body, and a cover rigidity reinforcement member detachably coupled to the intake filter and configured to restrict displacement toward the intake filter. The intake filter includes a non-woven fabric configured to filter foreign matters of introduced outside air, and a filter frame surrounding and fixing a circumference of the non-woven fabric.
Filter with interlocking housing interface
A filter element includes first filter media, second filter media, a frame, and a seal member. The frame is coupled to the first filter media and the second filter media, the frame securing the first filter media and the second filter media into a V-shape. The seal member is attached to and extends from the frame. The seal member includes a U-shaped channel structured to receive a ridge of a housing when the filter element is installed in the housing. The seal member is structured to form a seal between the filter element and the housing when the filter element is installed in the housing.
Motorized working apparatus and air filter
A motorized working apparatus includes a housing having an air inlet, an air guide leading from the air inlet into the housing, and an air filter which is curved hood-shaped outwardly and covers the air inlet of the housing. The air filter includes a filter frame body with a filter-fabric-free air outlet face facing the air inlet of the housing and with a window frame structure protruding over the filter-fabric-free air outlet face and having at least one window region. A filter fabric occupies the at least one window region, and a fixation releasably fixes the filter frame body to the housing. The window frame structure has frame webs which delimit the at least one window region and which protrude relative to the filter fabric towards an air supply side in the at least one window region and include web side edges which run sloping at an obtuse angle relative to adjacent window planes, and/or the fixation includes a pre-fixing clamping holding arrangement and a final fixing holding arrangement which are independent of each other, and/or the window frame structure of the air filter protrudes over the filter-fabric-free air outlet face in the shape of a roof with a triangular cross-sectional form.
Filter Assembly
A filter assembly has a main filter element disposed in a filter housing and provided with an end disk with a first sealing element that seals the main filter element relative to the filter housing. A secondary filter element is disposed in the filter housing and is provided with an end disk with a second sealing element that seals the secondary filter element relative to the filter housing. The end disk of the secondary filter element is arranged relative to an axial direction of the filter assembly between the end disk of the main filter element and the filter housing. The end disk of the secondary filter element is arranged inside a flow cross section of a fluid outlet of the filter housing. The end disks of the main filter element and of the secondary filter element are axially supported on each other at least over sections thereof.
Air filter, filter element and filter housing of an air filter
An air filter (10) includes an openable filter housing (12) and a filter element (18). The filter housing (12) includes an inlet (26) and an outlet. A filter element (18) with a filter medium (46) is disposed replaceably in the filter housing separating the inlet (26) from the outlet (22). The filter element (18) features on an exterior side facing away from the element interior space (52) on an axial front face relative to the element axis (32) at least one supporting element (58) having at least one supporting lateral surface (60, 61) with at least one cylindrical portion and/or at least one portion with a variable cross-section in the direction of a main axis. The supporting element (58) is supported at least transversely in relation to the element axis (32) with the at least one supporting lateral surface (60, 61) against at least one corresponding support portion (42) on the side of the filter housing (12).
