What is an Intake Air Cleaner?

An Intake Air Cleaner (AIR CLEANER,INTAKE) is a device designed to prevent foreign particles from entering the air intake system of an internal combustion engine or air compressor. Excludes mufflers.

What is a Fluid Filter?

A Fluid Filter (FILTER,FLUID) is a filter having inlet and outlet connections and designed to be connected in a pipe, tube or hose line. For spin-on, base-mounted filtering devices with integral outer casings, see FILTER ELEMENT, FLUID. Excludes AIR CONDITIONER.

What is a Fluid Filter Element?

A Fluid Filter Element (FILTER ELEMENT,FLUID) is a replaceable device designed to remove solid particles from fluids ranging in density from heavy liquids to gases. The removal of particles is accomplished by porous material (metallic or non-metallic), stacked disks, wound wire, or the like, constructed so the fluid can flow through the device while the solid particles are retained. It may be designed to fit into a FILTER, FLUID (or similar cavity), or it may have an integral outer casing and mounting facilities and be designed to connect directly to an engine, compressor, or the like. The degree of removal of particles must be nominally rated at less than 50 microns or absolutely rated at less than 75 microns. Excludes FILTER ELEMENT, AIR CONDITIONING. See also STRAINER ELEMENT, SEDIMENT.

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. The removal of particles is accomplished by porous material (metallic or non-metallic), wire mesh, or the like. It is designed to fit into an AIR CLEANER,INTAKE.

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.
