Abstract: A gas filtration system includes an inlet to allow gas to enter the system, an outlet through which gas leaves the system, and a filter that includes a filter media that defines a hollow inner region into which gas enters as it flows from the inlet to the outlet. The system also includes a flow straightener disposed between the inlet and the hollow inner region such that a flow path of the gas passes through the flow straightener before it enters the hollow inner region. The flow straightener can be in the filter or upstream of it.
