Patent number: 8262762Abstract: Methods, techniques, and constructions are provided for use to apply an evacuation valve arrangement on an air cleaner assembly that is configured for pulse jet operation. An example evacuation valve arrangement is provided which comprises a valve member in the form of a sleeve that extends completely around a sidewall portion of an air cleaner housing of a pulse jet air cleaner. Examples are depicted in which the sidewall portion can comprise: a portion of a housing sidewall section that surrounds an installed filter cartridge, in use; a portion of an access cover; or, a drop tube secured to a portion of the housing, for example either on an access cover or on another portion of a housing. Specific features and alternatives are described. Also, methods of assembly and operation are described.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2011Date of Patent: September 11, 2012Assignee: Donaldson Company, Inc.Inventors: Thomas Olson, Gary Gillingham, Fred Wahlquist

Publication number: 20080010959Abstract: Filter arrangements include a barrier media in the form of fluted media treated with a deposit of fine fibers. The media is particularly advantageous in high temperature (greater than 140 to 240° F.) systems. Such systems may include engine systems, gas turbine systems, and fuel cell systems. Filter arrangements may take the form of media packs having a circular cross-section or a racetrack shaped cross-section, or media packs formed in a panel configuration.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 18, 2007Publication date: January 17, 2008Applicant: Donaldson Company, Inc.Inventors: Gary Gillingham, Mark Gogins, Thomas Weik

Publication number: 20070186774Abstract: A V-pack filter includes a frame construction having a first frame structure and a second frame structure. The V-pack filter also includes first and second panel sections mounted in extension between the first and second frame structures. The first panel section has first and second ends. The second panel section has third and fourth ends. The first and third ends have a first distance therebetween while the second and fourth ends have a second distance therebetween. The second distance is generally greater than the first distance. The first and second panel sections and the second frame structure define an air flow aperture. A seal arrangement circumscribes the air flow aperture and projects outwardly from the second frame structure. The first frame structure defines a first receiver indent. Assemblies and methods are also included.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 26, 2007Publication date: August 16, 2007Applicant: Donaldson Company, Inc.Inventors: Gary Gillingham, Stan Koehler, William Krisko, Thomas Miller, Winston Olson, Fred Wahlquist, Ervin Fuchs, Eugene Wilson
