Patent number: 11484823Abstract: A filter assembly includes a support fame, a filter media, and a conditioning device. The filter media is coupled to the support frame. The filter media has a dirty side that receives an air stream and a clean side that outputs the air stream after having been filtered by the filter media. The conditioning device is coupled to the support frame. The conditioning device is positioned downstream of the clean side of the filter media with respect to the air stream and directly contacts the clean side of the filter media.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2017Date of Patent: November 1, 2022Assignee: Cummins Filtration IP. Inc.Inventors: Matthew Louison, John C. Lukasavitz, Dane P. Miller

Patent number: 11207631Abstract: A filter assembly includes a conditioning device that conditions a flow of air upstream of a mass air flow sensor. The filter assembly includes a support frame. The filter assembly further includes a filter media coupled to the support frame, the filter media having a dirty side configured to receive a stream of air and a clean side configured to output a stream of air that has been filtered through the filter media. The filter assembly includes a conditioning device coupled to the support frame, the conditioning device positioned in a downstream direction from the clean side of the filter media with respect to the stream of air, the conditioning device offset from the clean side of the filter media by a separation distance.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2019Date of Patent: December 28, 2021Assignee: CUMMINS FILTRATION IP, INC.Inventors: Miao Li, Peter K. Herman, John C. Lukasavitz, Abhijit Shimpi, Gregory W. Hoverson, Thomas J. Braun, Robert A. Bannister
