Definitions
- This invention relates to an air filter unit for an industrial vehicle.
- Industrial vehicles are known to normally comprise a filter unit for the engine intake air consisting of a filter chamber housing a porous means for separating the particles suspended in the air, and means for pretreating the air upstream of the filter chamber to separate water and coarse particles from the air.
- These pretreatment means generally comprise a vertical intake pipe or "snorkel" provided with an upper air inlet at a large distance from the ground, and means for separating water and powdery particles, such as cyclones and the like.
- the object of the present invention is to provide an air filter unit for an industrial vehicle which is free of the aforesaid drawbacks of known units.
- an air filter unit for an industrial vehicle comprising an outer casing defining a pretreatment chamber provided with an upper inlet port and interception and channeling means arranged substantially to separate the water from the intake air, and a filter chamber housing a hollow cylindrical filter and provided with an upper outlet port communicating with a central cavity of said filter, said pretreatment and filter chambers being positioned side-by-side and communicating with each other through an aperture in said casing which defines them, characterised in that said interception and channeling means comprise a first partition disposed vertically inside said pretreatment chamber and defining therein a first compartment communicating with said inlet port and a second compartment communicating with said communication aperture between said chambers, said first and second compartment communicating with each other through an aperture between the lower edge of said partition and the lower wall of said pretreatment chamber, and a second partition extending from that wall of said pretreatment chamber which faces said filter chamber to the interior of said second compartment, below said communication aperture between said chambers.
- the reference numeral 1 indicates an air filter unit for an industrial vehicle.
- the unit 1 comprises an outer casing 2 constructed in several parts conveniently of pressed sheet metal or moulded plastics, to define overall a pretreatment chamber 3 and a filter chamber 4 which are disposed side-by-side and communicate with each other.
- the chamber 4 is substantially of barrel shape
- the chamber 3 is substantially of parallelepiped shape with a height less than the chamber 4, and is bounded laterally by three substantially flat walls 5 and by a concave wall 6 which substantially reproduces the profile of a portion 7 of a lateral wall of the chamber 4, which it faces.
- the intake pipe stub 9 communicates with a zone of the chamber 3 which is external to the chamber 4 and has its mouth cross-section of elongated form in a horizontal and downwardly inclined direction.
- the delivery pipe stub 10 communicates through a circular aperture 15 with a central zone of the filter chamber 4 which houses a hollow cylindrical filter 16 of conventional type. Said filter 16 therefore defines an axial duct 17 which faces the aperture 15.
- the chambers 3 and 4 communicate with each other through a horizontal oblong aperture 18 provided in proximity to the upper wall 8.
- the chamber 3 is divided transversely by a partition 19 which extends downwards from the upper wall 8 of the chamber 3, which is therefore divided into a first compartment 20 communicating with the intake pipe stub 9 and a second compartment 21 communicating with the aperture 18.
- the partition 19 is provided with a lower rounded edge 24 having a cross-section shaped substantially as a droplet inclined towards the compartment 21, to define with the lower wall 25 of the chamber 3 an aperture 26 giving communication between the first compartment 20 and the second compartment 21.
- a hollow pipe stub 27 of corresponding section which projects into the second compartment 21 and terminates with an outwardly rounded edge 28.
- a projection 33 forming a drip ledge described hereinafter projects into the compartment 21 from the upper wall 8 of the casing 2.
- the operation of the unit 1 is as follows. Air enters the unit 1 through the intake port 14 of the pipe stub 9 and passes into the compartment 20 of the chamber 3.
- the purpose of the vertical partition 19 is to prevent any direct entry of water into the chamber 4 and to determine, within the chamber 3, a U-shaped path (compartment 20 - aperture 26 - compartment 21) which is able to separate the water droplets by centrifugal action onto the lower wall 25 of the chamber 3.
- the purpose of the lower rounded edge 24 is to reduce the local pressure drop caused by breaking up the fluid flow.
- the air then passes into the compartment 21, and most of the droplets which remain after the centrifugal action are entrained upwards by the fluid flow along the wall 6.
- These droplets are then intercepted by the flow breaker partition 29, from which they precipitate onto the bottom wall 25.
- the air now almost free of water, proceeds upwards passing beyond the flow breaker wall 29. Any minute droplets still present in suspension tend to concentrate on the upper wall 8, again by centrifugal effect, and to run along it to the drip ledge 33, which concentrates them into droplets of larger mass so that they fall by gravity.
- the rounded edge 28 of the pipe stub 27 has the double purpose of reducing pressure drop through the mouth and to form a collection channel for conveying downwards by gravity the water which adheres to the outer walls of the pipe stub 27, including by the effect of the drip ledge 33.
- the substantially “dry” air then passes through the pipe stub 27 and into the chamber 4 in which it is filtered by the filter 16, which retains the suspended impurities, after which it flows through the duct 17 and pipe stub 10 to the vehicle engine.
- the water which collects on the base wall 25 of the chamber 3 is evacuated through the valves 30, provided for this purpose in the regions of low suction.
- the shape and arrangement of the internal elements of the chamber 3 ensure almost total separation of the water or mud before the proper filtration. This means that the filter clogging problems are eliminated and that the snorkel can be dispensed with. Said effects combined with particular expedients in the construction of the elements (edge 24 of the partition 19, edge 28 of the pipe stub 27) result in considerable overall reduction of the intake pressure drop.
- the partitions 29 and 19, conveniently dimensioned in relation to the dimensions of the chamber 3, provide an effective silencing of the engine intake noise.
- a partition can be placed in the chamber 4 between the pipe stub 27 and that portion of the filter 16 facing it, to prevent rapid clogging of that zone.
- the unit 1 can comprise a conventional snorkel either in place of the intake pipe stub 9 or connected to it.
