Filter arrangement; sealing system; and methods

A filter pack includes a filter construction and a sealing system for sealing the construction within a duct or housing. The filter construction has first and second opposite flow faces and is configured for a straight-through flow. The sealing system includes a frame construction and a compressible seal member. The compressible seal member is molded around a portion of the frame construction. The compressible seal member is sufficiently compressible to form a radial seal between and against the frame construction and a surface of a housing when the filter pack is inserted within the housing.

Filter apparatus and method of monitoring filter apparatus

Methods, systems, and products for monitoring an air filter. Methods involve determining a difference between a baseline pressure differential and a current pressure differential, the differential pressure between pressure at an upstream side of the filter and pressure at a downstream side of the filter. The baseline pressure differential may be set automatically or by a user. Reaching or exceeding a predetermined threshold triggers an indication of a clogged condition. The method also includes monitoring the air filter condition intermittently. The filter monitor may operate for extended periods in a sleep state and intermittently power up to a wake state to measure the current pressure differential and compare the current pressure differential with a baseline pressure differential.

Air inlet for ATV

An all terrain vehicle has a frame assembly. A pair of front wheels and a pair of rear wheels support the frame assembly. A front fender assembly extends over at least a portion of the front wheels. An engine is disposed between the front wheels and the rear wheels. The engine is water-cooled using a radiator and fan combination that is positioned forward of the engine. A belt drive forms a portion of a transmission that transfers power from the engine to at least the rear wheels. The belt drive is air cooled with air that is pulled into the belt drive by fans positioned within a belt case. The air is drawn from an air chamber formed within the front fender assembly. The chamber is positioned vertically higher than the radiator and fan combination and rearward thereof. The air passes between the chamber and the belt case through a duct. The duct extends downward and incorporates a central trap portion. The duct is positioned to lie at least partially within an area that overlaps the fan from a front elevation view. The duct also bends across a central longitudinal plane from inlet to outlet to allow a compact configuration while positioning the duct in protected regions.

Vapor-adsorbent filter for reducing evaporative fuel emissions, and method of using same

A filter, for use in removing residual fuel vapors from within an engine's intake system, includes a filter element having a plurality of fibers, for placement in communication with an intake air flow passage. Each of the fibers has an internal cavity formed therein, and a longitudinally extending slot formed therein extending from the internal cavity to the outer fiber surface. The filter also includes a hydrocarbon-absorbing material disposed within the internal cavities of the fibers. The hydrocarbon-absorbing material may be a solid material such as, e.g., carbon, or may be a liquid such as a relatively non-volatile organic solvent. Alternatively, the material may be a combined solid and liquid. In one embodiment, each of the elongated fibers includes a central stem and a plurality of lobes extending outwardly from the central stem, with a longitudinally extending slot defined between adjacent lobes. Specific useful filter configurations are detailed.
