Title: Stefan Hämmerle and Self-Cleaning Air Filter Technology.

Introduction

Stefan Hämmerle is an inventor associated with Marktoberdorf, Germany, and AGCO International GmbH. His work includes a vehicle air-intake filter system designed to remove accumulated material through a periodic cleaning process. Hämmerle is credited with 2 patents.

Latest Patents

Hämmerle’s listed latest patent concerns a self-cleaning air filter system for a vehicle air intake. The method passes air through a filter from its upstream side to its downstream side and uses an exhaust duct positioned near the filter’s upstream side. The duct leads toward a cooling fan or another air-extraction device, which draws away material dislodged during cleaning.

During a periodic cleaning cycle, the fan’s rotational speed increases while a pulse of pressurized fluid is applied to the downstream side of the filter. The exhaust duct carries away the material removed from the upstream side, after which the fan returns to its original speed. The supplied patent information lists this same invention twice.

Career Highlights

Hämmerle’s listed patent work focuses on vehicle filtration and a cleaning process that combines a pressurized-fluid pulse with airflow extraction. This approach is intended to clear debris from the filter while directing it away through the exhaust duct.

Collaborations

Hämmerle is associated with AGCO International GmbH. His listed coworkers include Thorsten Capelle and Hans Leistle.

Conclusion

Stefan Hämmerle’s documented invention applies coordinated airflow, pressurized cleaning, and debris extraction to vehicle air filters, reflecting his patent work in filtration technology.
