Patent number: 9897050Abstract: An air filtration system (100) for an engine. The air filtration system (100) includes a main filter assembly (102) configured to filter air from a first dirty air inlet (110), the main filter assembly (102) defining a dirty air side (112) of the main filter assembly (102) and a clean air side (114) of the main filter assembly (102). The air filtration system further includes an auxiliary filter assembly (104) configured to filter air from a second dirty air inlet (116), wherein the auxiliary filter assembly (104) is selectively attachable to the main filter assembly (102) such that when the auxiliary filter assembly (104) is attached air is filtered from the second dirty air inlet (116) to the clean air side (114) of the main filter assembly (102).Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2014Date of Patent: February 20, 2018Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: Jason Baldwin, Jayne Hyde, Roger Khami, Preet Kamal Virk, Robert Joseph Mohan, Joseph Matthew McCann
