Abstract: Disclosed are various exemplary embodiments of an air cleaner assembly for a machine. The air cleaner assembly may include a filter housing and a filter element. The filter housing may include a mating surface extending in a first plane and defining a filter opening thereon. The filter housing also includes a filter engaging member associated with the mating surface. The filter element may include a filter frame extending generally in a second plane and defining an opening for receiving a filter medium. The filter element may also include a sealing member disposed in the filter frame around the opening and configured to seal around the opening when the filter frame is brought into contact with the mating surface. The filter element may further include a blade extending from the filter frame and configured to engage with the filter engaging member. In some exemplary embodiments, the filter engaging member and the blade may be configured such that, when the blade is engaged with the filter engaging member, the filter frame is rotatable about a tip of the blade.

Abstract translation: 公开了用于机器的空气滤清器组件的各种示例性实施例。 空气滤清器组件可以包括过滤器壳体和过滤元件。 过滤器壳体可以包括在第一平面中延伸并在其上限定过滤器开口的配合表面。 过滤器壳体还包括与配合表面相关联的过滤器接合构件。 过滤元件可以包括大体上在第二平面中延伸并限定用于接收过滤介质的开口的过滤器框架。 过滤元件还可以包括密封构件，该密封构件围绕开口设置在过滤器框架中，并且被配置为当过滤器框架与配合表面接触时围绕开口密封。 过滤元件还可以包括从过滤器框架延伸并构造成与过滤器接合构件接合的刀片。 在一些示例性实施例中，过滤器接合构件和叶片可以构造成使得当叶片与过滤器接合构件接合时，过滤器框架可围绕叶片的尖端旋转。

Abstract: A filter system may include a filter housing and a filter. The filter may include layers of impermeable material. Additionally, the filter may include at least one first layer of corrugated filter media situated between layers of the impermeable material. The at least one first layer may at least partially define a first plurality of flutes extending from a first side of the filter to a second side of the filter. The filter may also include at least one second layer of corrugated filter media situated between layers of the impermeable material. The at least one second layer may at least partially define a second plurality of flutes extending from a third side of the filter to a fourth side of the filter. The housing may be configured to direct a first fluid into the first side of the filter, and direct a second fluid into the third side of the filter.
