Abstract:
The invention relates to a water separating arrangement in a vehicle air intake intended for mounting between a source of ambient air and an air filter unit. The water separating arrangement (101; 201; 301) comprises a first water separator (110; 210; 310) having a horizontal air intake section (212; 312) and a first water separating section (211; 311), which first water separating section is arranged at least partially surrounding an outer portion of the air intake section (212; 312). The water separating arrangement (101; 201; 301) further comprises a second water separator (120; 220; 320) comprising a housing (221; 321) with an air inlet (223; 323) connected to the air intake section (212; 312); an air outlet (224; 324) connected to an air outlet section (229; 329); wherein the second water separator is arranged to redirect the flow of ambient air over an angle of at least 80°.
