Air filter assembly for an engine

摘要

An engine includes a breather conduit, an intake conduit, and an air filter assembly. The air filter assembly includes a case and a filter element. The case includes a first opening for receiving the breather conduit, and a second opening for receiving the intake conduit. The filter element includes a first aperture, a second aperture, and filter media at least partially defining an interior chamber of the filter element. The first and second apertures of the filter element are at least partially aligned with the first and second openings of the case, respectively. The filter element is positioned in the case such that the breather conduit and the intake conduit are directed to or from the interior chamber of the filter element, such that air filtered by the filter media mixes with unfiltered gases from the breather conduit in the interior chamber of the filter element prior to entering the intake conduit.
