What is an Intake Air Cleaner Deflector?

An Intake Air Cleaner Deflector (DEFLECTOR,AIR CLEANER,INTAKE) is a generally metallic item of various shapes designed to deflect an airflow into or away from the intake air cleaner of a combustion engine/compressor. Excludes DEFLECTOR, AIRFLOW.

What is an Engine Accessories Modification Kit?

An Engine Accessories Modification Kit (MODIFICATION KIT,ENGINE ACCESSORIES) is an item or group of items employed to modify all engine accessories.

What is an Intake Air Cleaner Filter Body?

An Intake Air Cleaner Filter Body (FILTER BODY,INTAKE AIR CLEANER) is a part of an AIR CLEANER, INTAKE designed as a housing for a FILTER ELEMENT, INTAKE AIR CLEANER. Depending on the configuration, the item may be mounted at the top, the bottom or by means of a flanking flange. In general, the housing is a multipiece item and has air intake and air outlet.

What is a Vehicular Engine Filter Warning Indicator?

A Vehicular Engine Filter Warning Indicator (INDICATOR,FILTER WARNING,VEHICULAR ENGINE) is a mechanical indicator used on vehicular engines for dry or liquid type clearners to provide a visual warning signal when filter needs cleaning or changing.

What is an Intake Air Cleaner Filter Element?

An Intake Air Cleaner Filter Element (FILTER ELEMENT,INTAKE AIR CLEANER) is a replaceable device designed to remove dust, pollen or other foreign matter from the air passing through it.

Additional Information for Engine Air and Oil Filters, Strainers, and Cleaners, Nonaircraft

NATO Supply Class 2940 is a classification within NATO Supply Group 29, which is dedicated to Engine Accessories. Specifically, NATO Supply Class 2940 focuses on Engine Air and Oil Filters, Strainers, and Cleaners for non-aircraft applications.

This class includes various types of filters, strainers, and cleaners that are used in engines to ensure the quality and cleanliness of the air and oil that flows through them. These components play a crucial role in maintaining the performance and longevity of engines by preventing contaminants from entering and causing damage.

Engine air filters are designed to remove dust, dirt, and other particles from the air intake, ensuring that only clean air enters the engine for combustion. Oil filters, on the other hand, are responsible for removing impurities and contaminants from the engine oil, preventing them from circulating and causing wear and tear on engine components.

Strainers are used to filter out larger particles or debris from fluids, such as fuel or coolant, before they enter the engine. This helps to prevent blockages and damage to the engine's internal components.

Cleaners in this class refer to products used to clean and maintain the filters and strainers, ensuring their optimal performance and longevity. These cleaners may include specialized solvents or cleaning agents designed to remove accumulated dirt, oil, or other contaminants from the filters and strainers.

It's important to note that this classification specifically pertains to non-aircraft applications. For aircraft engine filters and accessories, there are separate classifications within the NATO Supply System.

Overall, NATO Supply Class 2940 encompasses a range of essential components for maintaining the cleanliness and efficiency of engines in non-aircraft applications.
