  • Patent number: 11364398
    Abstract: A combination seal connects a filter or an equipment component to a base. The combination seal includes a seal material and flecks or particles made of intumescent material interspersed within the seal material. The flecks or particles of intumescent material undergo a chemical change when exposed to flames or heat and expand to maintain seal effectiveness and longevity without compromise.

  • Patent number: 9630137
    Abstract: An anti-clogging filter system for filtering a fluid containing large particles and small particles includes an enclosure with at least one individual elongated tubular filter element in the enclosure. The individual elongated tubular filter element has an internal passage, a closed end, an open end, and a filtering material in or on the individual elongated tubular filter element. The fluid travels through the open end of the elongated tubular element and through the internal passage and through the filtering material. An anti-clogging element is positioned on or adjacent the individual elongated tubular filter element and provides a fluid curtain that preferentially directs the larger particulates to one area of the filter material allowing the remainder of the filter material to remain more efficient.

  • Patent number: 9581243
    Abstract: A system seals a filter or equipment component to abase and will continue to seal the filter or equipment component to the base in the event of hot air or fire. The system includes a first sealing material between the filter or equipment component and the base; and a second sealing material between the filter or equipment component and the base and proximate the first sealing material. The first sealing material and the second seal material are positioned relative to each other and relative to the filter or equipment component and the base to seal the filter or equipment component to the base and upon the event of fire the second sealing material will be activated and expand to continue to seal the filter or equipment component to the base in the event of hot air or fire.

  • Patent number: 9457297
    Abstract: A filter securing system including a filter unit body housing; at least one tubular filter element positioned in the filter unit body housing, the tubular filter element having a closed top and an open bottom; a dimple in either the filter unit body housing or the top of the tubular filter element; and a socket in either the filter unit body housing or the top of the tubular filter element that receives the dimple in either the filter unit body housing or the top of the tubular filter element to secure the tubular filter element to the filter unit body housing.

  • Publication number: 20160107106
    Abstract: A fluid filter produced by additive manufacturing that includes a filter body having an entrance face for fluid entrance, an exit face for fluid exit, at least one pore in the fluid filter body extending from the entrance face to the exit face, and at least one pocket in the pore. The fluid containing the particles flows through the pore from the entrance face to the exit face and the particles are directed into the pocket where the particles become trapped in the pocket.

  • Publication number: 20130068104
    Abstract: An equipment component system including an equipment component structure having a first unit and a second unit and an intumescent paint or sealant on said equipment component structure. The intumescent paint or sealant provides sealing or prevents warpage or deformation or separation of a equipment component or sub-component in a fire or at high temperatures. The intumescent paint can shut a gap in a fire or at high temperatures. The intumescent paint can also pen a gap in a fire or at high temperatures so that fluid flow is preferentially directed one route versus another.
