Publication number: 20180345195Abstract: According to the present disclosure, features, components and techniques useable for providing air cleaner arrangements are provided. Many of the features relate to an axial seal arrangement provided on a filter cartridge. A typical filter cartridge, for use with these features, is a filter cartridge having opposite flow ends. Example media arrangements that fit this characterization are described. Seal arrangements provided with an axial housing sealing engagement surface are shown. A seal arrangement is provided with variations therein, to advantage. These variations can be in either or both of an outer peripheral edge surface and a housing seal engagement surface. Also, air cleaner assemblies having advantageous features therein are provided. Further, air cleaner housings are described, with selected, preferred features for engagement with filter cartridges.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 13, 2018Publication date: December 6, 2018Inventors: Steven K.

Patent number: 6451080Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an air cleaner for moving particles from an air stream. The air cleaner includes a housing defining a separation chamber at which at least some of the particles are removed from the air stream. The air cleaner includes an inlet passage for allowing the air stream to the separation chamber, an outlet passage for allowing the air stream to exit the separation chamber, and a plurality of vanes for causing the air stream to swirl as the air stream flows through the inlet passage and enters the separation chamber. The housing includes a side wall structure defining at least one discharge opening through which particles are discharged as the air stream swirls within the separation chamber.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2000Date of Patent: September 17, 2002Assignee: Donaldson Company, Inc.Inventors: Gary J.
