  • Patent number: 11506156
    Abstract: 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.
