Versatile compact air precleaner, air cleaning method and disposable air filter cartridge for air precleaner

摘要

A versatile compact air precleaner, air cleaning method and disposable air filter cartridge for air precleaner for separating heaver-than-air particulate debris from debris laden air to provide a clean airflow, are disclosed. A flow path for air passing through a separator chamber of the air precleaner is retroflexed en route to the outlet. A motor of a motor-driven fan is located in the flow path downstream from the separator chamber. A plurality of independently rotatably adjustable housing sections of a housing are formed with respective ones of the air precleaner debris laden air inlet, particulate debris ejector ports, clean air outlet, and mounts for mounting the air precleaner to a support to provide utility with different configurations. A separator chamber end section including the debris ejector ports is connected to the filter as a removable, disposable air filter cartridge to obviate ejector port clogging with change of filters.
