  • Patent number: 9248394
    Abstract: An air scoop-cyclone filter assembly having an air scoop for guiding untreated air, which including an inlet opening, a deflection area for deflecting untreated air and an outlet opening, and having a cyclone filter for cleaning untreated air, which is connected downstream of the air scoop in the flow direction and is connected in an airtight manner to the air scoop A perforated plate is arranged in the cyclone filter as a filter inlet opening. The perforated plate has a first passage area having a high number of holes, a second passage area having a low number of holes at the geodetically deepest point, and a baffle plate. The baffle plate distributes the untreated air flow through the first and second passage area and, with the outer wall of the air scoop, forms a collecting chamber that stabilizes the flow.
