Embodiment Construction

[0021] see now figure 1 , reference numeral 10 shows the air intake system. Generally, the air intake system 10 is configured to receive outside (ambient) air and to clean the outside air to remove water and particulates so that the cleaned air can be used by an engine, such as an internal combustion engine. The air intake system 10 includes a rain cap pre-cleaner 12 which receives ambient air through an annular opening 14 and provides pre-cleaned air to flow through a vertical duct or riser 16 and into the air cleaner 18 , the air is cleaned in the air cleaner to provide clean air to flow through the clean air outlet 20 . The resulting purified air can then be used in an engine, such as an internal combustion engine. The air filter 18 may be provided as any type of air filter capable of cleaning the air sufficiently to remove dust and particulates so that the resulting cleaned air can be used by the engine. Exemplary air filters that may be used include those available fro...

Abstract

A raincap precleaner (12) is provided according to the present invention. The raincap precleaner includes a sleeve (34), a cover (32), and a precleaner assembly (36). The sleeve is constructed for mounting on an air intake stack and has an air intake flow region for delivering intake air to the air intake stack. The cover includes a top portion (44) having an annular circumference and a depending flange portion (46) extending from the annular circumference of the top portion. The cover is arranged relative to the sleeve to provide a precleaner area and a precleaned air chamber. The precleaner assembly is provided extending around a periphery of the sleeve and in the precleaner area so that environmental air flows through the precleaner assembly and into the precleaned air chamber, and from the precleaned air chamber into the air intake flow region. The precleaner assembly comprises a plurality of inertial separators (70). A method for precleaning air and a motor vehicle are provided.
