Abstract:
A system and method of forming fiberglass air filtration media is disclosed which does not require the use of oil additives. A mixture of resin binder, polymer, and dry adhering agent is formed and applied to the fiberglass as it spins onto the drum. Additionally, the fiberglass filtration media density can vary such that the fiber on the air inflow is less dense than the fiber on the air outflow. After oven curing, the finished air filtration media has an improved ability to attract and hold dust and other contaminants.
Abstract:
A gas-permeable filter of the present invention has a surface coated with an oil-repellent agent. The oil-repellent agent contains a copolymer of a linear fluorine-containing hydrocarbon group-containing monomer and a crosslinkable monomer. The crosslinkable monomer contains at least one selected from an alkoxy group-containing monomer, a hydroxy group-containing monomer, and a carboxyl group-containing monomer.
Abstract:
The invention is based on a modification to the exhaust system, in which: first, the gases are passed through a filter containing water, which is intended to eliminate the temperature of the exhaust gases; second, the gases are passed through ducts solidly connected to the exhaust manifold in order to eliminate any remaining vapours; and, in a third step, the gases are passed through a metal fibre filter soaked in oil, which is intended to eliminate solid residues and to lower the concentration of pollutants.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an air purifier for removing dirt from an airstream, having a filter module, which filter module comprises at least one permeable filter layer for accumulating the dirt on the filter layer. According to the invention, a bypass channel is provided and constructed in such a manner that some of the airstream can pass by each filter layer unfiltered. Surprisingly, the purifying action of the filter module scarcely suffers owing to such a bypass channel, at least provided that the filter layer is not yet blocked with impurities, since in this case the majority of the airstream, in the absence of resistance, takes the primarily provided way through the filter layer. Only when the filter layer becomes blocked and the resistance to the airstream increases there, does air increasingly flow through said bypass channel.
Abstract:
A composite filter construction comprises a first open-cell foamed polyurethane layer (2), with a middle layer (3) comprising polyester fibers and polypropylene microfibers, a second layer (4), coupled to the middle layer (3), comprising a non-woven polypropylene fabric material, and a polyurethane material gasket (5) co-molded on said layers.
Abstract:
A flow-controlled engine ventilation system recovers blow-by gases and lower vapor pressure hydrocarbons. In an internal combustion engine, blow-by gases generated by the internal combustion process are ventilated from the crankcase through a recovery filter (10). The recovery filter (10) has an expansion chamber (20) allowing the blow-by gases to evenly distribute themselves before flowing past the filtration medium (14). The filtration medium (14) has a large surface area and is preferably oil-soaked copper wool. A compression chamber (22) forces continued gas flow into a PCV valve (40). The PCV valve is preferably a two-stage, solenoid-controlled PCV valve. The blow-by gas is then taken in by the intake for recombustion. Hydrocarbons collected by the recovery filter are allowed to flow back into the crankcase. Overall, the ventilation system reduces emissions, increases gas mileage, and increases engine life.
