摘要:
An HC filter (10) for use in an air cleaner (200) comprises an absorbent that absorbs hydrocarbon (HC) contained in vaporized fuel and a support that supports the absorbent. The support is of a paper honeycomb structure and has a surface thereof coated. An HC filter fixing frame (20) for attaching the HC filter in the housing of the air cleaner comprises a frame-like body (21) and a lattice (22). The lattice (22) is placed so as not to contact the HC filter (10), and bosses (30) are provided on the side of the lattice facing the HC filter, which contact and hold the HC filter at a side thereof. In the air cleaner (200), an HC filter unit (100) consisting of the HC filter (10) and the HC filter fixing frame (20) can be situated over the entire cross-section of the passage at a position adjacent to sealing faces.
摘要:
There is provided an air cleaner in which air does not take along evaporated fuel adsorbed by an adsorbent of a canister. In an air cleaner (15), within a casing (20) comprised of a primary side case (17) having an inlet (16) at one side and a secondary side case (19) having an outlet (18) at the other side and in between the cases (17) and (19), there is provided a filter element (22) in a vertical state with a filter medium (21) folded in a zigzag that prevents dust flowing into an engine. The inlet (16) and the outlet (18) are both arranged above a center line of the casing (20). Within the secondary side case (19) of the casing (20), at only the secondary side bottom of the filter element (22), there is provided a canister (23) comprising an adsorbent such as a granular activated carbon, a honeycomb activated carbon, an activated carbon fiber, or an activated carbon mixed paper, which adsorbs evaporated fuel, across approximately an entire width of the casing (20) in a width direction, and in only an upper flow side half of an air flow direction.
