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.

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.

An internal combustion engine includes an engine block, an air-fuel mixing device, and an air filter assembly. The air filter assembly includes a housing, a filter element, and a gap between the filter element and the housing. The housing includes a base and a cover which define an interior volume. The housing includes an outlet passage fluidly coupling a filtered air outlet to a final air outlet. The filter element divides the interior volume into a filtered volume and an unfiltered volume. The gap is configured to direct air in a first airflow pass before being filtered by the filter element. The filter element is configured to direct filtered air in a second airflow pass in a substantially opposite direction from the first airflow pass. The outlet passage is configured to direct filtered air into a third airflow pass in a substantially same direction as the first airflow pass.

The utility vehicle includes a body; a frame that supports the body; an on-board device that is mounted on the frame and requires outside air; and an air intake conduit that is connected to the on-board device. An air intake port of the air intake conduit that sucks in outside air faces a center side of the utility vehicle.

An air intake system may include an engine air cleaner having a dust valve. The intake system may be configured for arrangement on the engine. The dust valve may also be operable to open or close based on operating characteristics of the engine.

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.
