Air filter element and filter housing

摘要

Disclosed are various exemplary embodiments of an air filter element for a machine. The air filter element may include a generally rectangular body with a rounded bottom surface, where the generally rectangular body may be configured to be inserted into a filter housing in a first direction. The filter element may also include an inlet opening at a top surface opposite to the bottom surface of the generally rectangular body, where the inlet opening may face in a direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction. The filter element may also include a front surface facing substantially in the first direction and defining a discharge opening and a rear surface opposite to the front surface of the generally rectangular body. The filter element may further include a sealing element disposed on a side surface of the generally rectangular body between the front surface and the rear surface, such that the sealing element substantially may seal off a gap between the side surface of the filter housing and the generally rectangular body when the generally rectangular body is inserted into the filter housing.
