DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF A FAMILY OF DRY-TYPE AIR CLEANERS

Abstract

This final report covers design and development of a family of dry- type engine air cleaners, ranging from 110 to 800 cfm capacity, for wheeled and light-tracked vehicles. Basic considerations included designing the family to (1) withstand the extremes encountered in military use, (2) adequately protect vehicle engine and, (3) afford sufficient installation versatility to allow widespread use. The resulting family of air cleaners utilizes interchangeable air manifolds and dust cups, allowing 18 variations from 6 basic models. Laboratory tests confirmed performance meeting requirements of MIL-E-46736(MO). A family of air cleaners is now available for wheeled and light-tracked vehicles and should be used wherever possible on new engine air cleaner installations to better standardize military air cleaners.
