Abstract
A chamber air cleaner apparatus may include a chamber housing mounted through a connector onto an air hose wherein the air hose may be connected to a main air cleaner, an intake duct attached to an outer surface of the chamber housing wherein exterior air may be introduced into the chamber housing through the intake duct, a variable valve pivotally installed in the vicinity of the intake duct and selectively opening according to an air suction pressure applied thereto, and a filter element mounted between the intake duct and the connector within the chamber housing to purify the introduced air through the intake duct.
Claims9
A chamber air cleaner apparatus comprising:
- a chamber housing mounted through a connector onto an air hose wherein the air hose is connected to a main air cleaner;
- an intake duct attached to an outer surface of the chamber housing wherein exterior air is introduced into the chamber housing through the intake duct;
- a variable valve pivotally installed in the vicinity of the intake duct and selectively opening according to an air suction pressure applied thereto;
- and
- a filter element mounted between the intake duct and the connector within the chamber housing to purify the introduced air through the intake duct.
An intake apparatus for an engine, comprising;
- a duct through which exterior air is introduced;
- a main air cleaner connected to the duct to purify the air introduced into the duct;
- an air hose connected to the main air cleaner such that the air having passed through the main air cleaner is flown out therethrough;
- a resonator mounted to the air hose to reduce noise;
- and
- a chamber air cleaner mounted to the air hose to reduce noise when an air suction pressure in the chamber air cleaner is below a predetermined value and to increase an amount of introduced air therein when the air suction pressure in the chamber air cleaner is beyond the predetermined value,
- wherein the chamber air cleaner includes:
- a chamber housing mounted through a connector onto the air hose;
- an intake duct attached to an outer surface of the chamber housing wherein exterior air is introduced into the chamber housing through the intake duct;
- a variable valve pivotally installed in the vicinity of the intake duct and selectively opening according to an air suction pressure applied thereto;
- and
- a filter element mounted between the intake duct and the connector within the chamber housing to purify the introduced air through the intake duct.
