  • Publication number: 20230089339
    Abstract: An air filter element inlcudes a first end and a second end located opposite to the first end in relation to a longitudinal direction of the air filter element. The air filter element is configured for axial insertion into a filter housing with the first end leading the axial insertion. The air filter element inlcudes a gripping structure at the second end, the gripping structure comprising an external surface accessible for interaction by a tool to facilitate removal of the air filter element from the filter housing. The gripping structure is also configured to, during insertion of the air filter element into the filter housing, radially align the air filter element in the filter housing.

  • Patent number: 11408379
    Abstract: The invention relates to a an air supply arrangement (100) for supplying air from the atmosphere towards an internal combustion engine in a vehicle, the air supply arrangement comprising an air intake (101) for intake of air from the atmosphere, an air outlet (102) for outlet of air towards the internal combustion engine, and an air duct (103) for leading air from the air intake (101) in a downstream direction to the air outlet (102). A separator (200) is arranged in the air duct (103) so as to divide the air duct (103) into an upstream portion (104) and a downstream portion (105) for filtering of atmospheric air from debris by passage of said atmospheric air through the separator (200). The air supply arrangement (100) further comprises a compressed air delivery arrangement (300) being arranged to supply compressed air towards the separator (200) for cleaning the separator (200) from assembled debris.

  • Publication number: 20210245086
    Abstract: The invention relates to a replaceable air filter unit (100) for filtering air to be supplied to an internal combustion engine in a vehicle, said replaceable air filter unit (100) forming a sleeve about a central axis (X) and extending along said axis (x) between a first end (102) and a second end (103), for axial insertion into a filter housing (200) with said first end (102) leading the axial insertion, said air filter unit (100) forming an outer sleeve surface (104) bounded by an outer filter radius (Ro) for receiving unfiltered air, and an inner sleeve surface (105) bounded by an inner filter radius (Ri) for output of filtered air. An axially flexible skirt (106) is circumferentially arranged at the first end (102) of the air filter unit (100) and extending radially outside the outer filter radius (Ro), for wiping an inner surface (202) of the filter housing (200) when the air filter unit (100) is axially removed from the filter housing (200).
