Patent ID: 8807118

Claim:
An integrated air flow component for an engine air induction system having an air inlet duct, said integrated air flow component comprising: an air flow separator positioned within said air inlet duct comprising air flow guidance surfaces downstream of an air cleaner and conjunctively providing: a) a source of clean filtered combustion air for said engine under multiple flow conditions, including continuous and intermittent; b) a source of clean filtered sensor air for a MAFS, mass air flow sensor, under said multiple flow conditions of said combustion air, including continuous and intermittent, with minimized effect on MAFS readings; and c) a source of clean filtered accessory air for supplying a designated accessory under said multiple flow conditions of said combustion air, including continuous and intermittent; said air flow separator comprising an inlet port receiving air from said air cleaner, and first, second and third outlet ports, said first outlet port supplying said combustion air to said engine, said second outlet port supplying said sensor air to said MAFS, said third outlet port supplying said accessory air to said designated accessory; said first outlet port being in series between said inlet port and said engine, and said second and third outlet ports are in parallel with each other; wherein at least one of said second and third outlet ports is in parallel with said inlet port; and wherein the other of said second and third outlet ports is in series with said inlet port.
