Publication number: 20120198803Abstract: A filter device has a compact filter made of a filter material that is wound spirally. A star filter that is made of a filter material that has folds arranged in a star shape surrounds the compact filter. The filter device has a cylindrical shape. A fluid to be filtered passes the compact filter in an axial direction and the star filter in a radial direction. The filter device is exchangeable and is mounted in a filter housing such that the compact filter and the star filter have a common raw side and a common clean side that are separated from each other.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 31, 2012Publication date: August 9, 2012Applicant: MANN+HUMMEL GMBHInventors: Yassine Maaradji, Jens Hähn, Jan Karl Zink, Joachim Stinzendõrfer, Stefan Becker, Karlheinz Münkel, Michael Wolf, Werner Blossey, Mario Rieger, Ralf Poh, Josef Rohrmeier, Thomas Sieber, Andreas Pelz, Rolf Sanders, Manfred Winter

Publication number: 20110247582Abstract: The intake air filter according to the invention is for cleaning intake air for internal combustion engines, in particular in vehicles. To this end, the intake air filter comprises an openable housing (10) with an inlet (14) and an outlet (15). Disposed between the inlet (14) and the outlet (15) is an annular, closed main filter element (17) and an annular, closed secondary element (31). The secondary element (31) is connected to the outlet (15), whereby no contamination can pass through to the outlet (15) when the main filter element (17) is replaced. A centering device (29, 30, 40, 41, 42) is provided on the end face opposite the outlet (15) between the secondary element (31) and the main filter element (17), said centering device being used to fix the position of the secondary element (31) within the main filter element (17). This prevents relative movements between the main filter element (17) and the secondary element (31).Type: ApplicationFiled: November 16, 2009Publication date: October 13, 2011Applicant: MANN+HUMMEL GMBHInventors: Werner Blossey, Mario Rieger, Joachim Schuldt

Patent number: 6474284Abstract: An air routing system, especially an air intake system of an internal combustion engine, which makes optimal use of available installation space by integrating a bypass channel (25) into an air intake module (10). The volume of the bypass channel also provides an acoustic shield for the collector chamber or plenum (22). The free area (13) behind the mounting flange (11) that is required for screwing in mounting bolts in order to mount the air intake module (10) is used by an air intake hood (14) which can be installed on the filter housing (15) after the air intake module has been mounted. This assures that there is a greater volume available in the filter housing (15), thereby reducing the noise at the inlet opening of the air intake module.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2001Date of Patent: November 5, 2002Assignee: Filterwerk Mann & Hummel GmbHInventors: Christof Baumann, Werner Blossey, Hans-Peter Hielscher, Thomas Jessberger, Herbert Pietrowski, Achim Rehmann, Hans-Peter Scholl
