Abstract
A particulate and siloxane filtration system may include a housing and a filter media assembly. The filter media assembly may be disposed within the housing and positioned to filter intake gases to an internal combustion engine. The filter media assembly may include a particulate media configured to remove particulates from the intake gases and a siloxane media configured to remove siloxanes from the intake gases.
Claims20
A particulate and siloxane filtration system comprising:
- a housing;
- and
- a filter media assembly disposed within the housing, the filter media assembly positioned to filter intake gases to an internal combustion engine, the filter media assembly comprising:
- a particulate media configured to remove particulates from the intake gases;
- and
- a siloxane media configured to remove siloxanes from the intake gases.
A method of filtering particulates and siloxanes from intake gases to an internal combustion engine of a work vehicle, comprising:
- providing a particulate media positioned to remove particulates from the intake gases;
- providing a siloxane media positioned to remove siloxanes from the intake gases;
- and
- sending an indication of a remaining operational life of at least one of the particulate media and the siloxane media, the indication based on a pressure of the intake gases and a threshold pressure associated with the particulate media.
A work vehicle comprising:
- ground-engaging tractive assemblies;
- an internal combustion engine configured to power the ground-engaging tractive assemblies so as to move the work vehicle;
- and
- a filtration system positioned to filter intake gases to the engine, the filtration system comprising:
- a housing;
- a particulate media disposed within the housing, the particulate media configured to remove particulates from the intake gases;
- and
- a siloxane media disposed within the housing, the siloxane media configured to remove siloxanes from the intake gases.
