  • Patent number: 9873072
    Abstract: There is provided a frame assembly 200 adapted for installation in a filter housing of an air handling system. The frame assembly is arranged having a frame 210 which is adapted to receive a filter unit of a predetermined size. The frame assembly further comprises a clamping mechanism 230 arrange for clamping the filter unit. An actuator 231 of the clamping mechanism is arranged at a front member 211 of the frame and is operable between an open and a closed position while activating the clamping mechanism to clamp the filter unit. An actuator element 232 facing a back member 212 of the frame is arranged such that a free distance between the actuator element and the back member during operation of the actuator corresponds to the predetermined filter unit size, thereby enabling operation of the actuator only if an inserted filter unit abuts the back member of the frame.

  • Patent number: 9522355
    Abstract: A filter unit comprising a filter bag for removing particles from an air or gas flow, wherein the filter unit is arranged to receive at least one filter pocket and the filter bag comprises an opening portion and an end portion opposite said opening portion. The filter unit further comprises a frame arranged at a periphery of the opening portion, and a support structure arranged at the periphery of the end portion for stretching an area of the end portion. The frame and the support structure act to stretch the filter bag into a substantially parallelepiped shape such that the filter unit is arranged to provide a free passage for the at least one filter pocket into and out of said filter bag. Furthermore, the filter unit is arranged to fold between the frame and the support structure into a folded state.

  • Publication number: 20150360163
    Abstract: Pleated filter medium and filters having pleated filter medium are provided. In one embodiment, a pleated filter medium is provided having pleats with rectangular sides and a length direction parallel to the fold between the two sides of a pleat. The pleated filter medium has several rows of distance elements extending in a cross direction relative to the folds in the pleated filter medium. The rows are distanced from each other along a length direction, whereby each row of distance elements is constituted of a line of glue elements distanced from each other and applied to a side of the filter medium. Rows of glue elements are applied to both the inside and the outside of the filter medium, the rows on the inside being displaced in the length direction in relation to the rows on the outside.
