ABSTRACT:
An air cleaning system for a vehicle includes an inertial separator for filtering contaminated air, which then enters a vehicle cooling system positioned to receive the filtered air exiting from the inertial separator, and a clean air diverter positioned to receive a portion of the filtered air and to direct the filtered air to an engine and/or cab. The system may also include a pulley arrangement to increase the speed of a second inertial separator which further filters the air directed to the engine and/or cab.
