Abstract (en)

[origin: CA2123295A1] An air filter for an internal combustion engine which has a filter insert is arranged in a housing having a clean air outlet and an unfiltered air inlet provided with a screen. An auxiliary unfiltered air inlet 18 is also provided which is closed by a flap under normal operating conditions but which opens under the influence of a negative pressure generated in the filter housing if the screen becomes clogged because of snow or ice entrained in the air stream, so that air can enter the filter through the auxiliary air inlet.
