slots built into the rear of the
tubes. This allows clean air
to pass through the center of
the separator tubes and into
the engine's air intake duct.
To keep the air constantly
moving, even when the
vehicle is standing still, S&B
incorporated a compact, but
high-CFM scavenge fan. It's
also used to force the dust out
through exit slots in the tubes,
where it's all pushed out from an
evacuation port behind the unit.
There's minimal residual dirt or
dust left in the housing. Cyclonic
separation has been used in a
variety of applications, including
military, the agricultural industry,
and is most commonly used
in vacuum cleaners. "We took
that same technology and
put it into a compact package
