A disposable air filter unit for filtering air intake to an internal combustion engine forms a cylindrical sleeve about a central axis, and has an outer sleeve surface for receiving unfiltered air and an inner sleeve surface for output of filtered air. The disposable air filter unit includes a pleated filter component and a bioplastic reinforcement structure arranged at the pleated filter component. An air cleaner assembly includes a disposable air filter unit and a reusable carrier structure on which the air filter unit is removably arranged. The disposable air filter unit forms a sleeve about a central axis extending axially between a first end surface and a second end surface. The reusable carrier structure includes a receiving member for receiving the first end surface of the air filter unit and a sealing member arranged at the receiving member to contact the first end surface of the air filter unit.

Disposable air filter unit, an air cleaner assembly and an air cleaner arrangement

An air filter housing () for an air filter arrangement in a vehicle, the air filter housing being configured for receiving unfiltered air and outputting filtered air by passage of the air through an air filter unit (). The air filter housing () forms a filter cavity () configured to house said air filter unit (), and the air filter housing () comprises support member () being fixedly arranged in the filter cavity (). The support member () comprises a filter holder portion () for holding said air filter unit () in a use position, in which use position the complete filter holder portion () is located inside said filter cavity ().

Air filter housing for an air filter arrangement in a vehicle

The invention relates to an air filter housing for use in an air cleaning arrangement for cleaning air to be provided to an air inlet of an internal combustion engine. The air filter housing comprises: a filter housing inlet for receiving air; and a filter housing outlet for providing filtered air to the air inlet of the internal combustion engine when an air filter is arranged inside the air filter housing between the filter housing inlet and the filter housing outlet. The air filter housing further comprises a closing arrangement controllable to be in each of a first state in which the filter housing outlet is closed by the closing arrangement, and a second state in which the filter housing outlet is open. The closing arrangement may comprise an iris shutter.
