  • Patent number: 10279298
    Abstract: A plate-type filter element for gas filtration has a filter medium body with a circumferentially extending seal that contacts seal-tightly a first sealing surface of a filter housing extending in a filter element plane of the filter element. A sealing bracket is connected to the seal and contacts seal-tightly a second sealing surface of the filter housing extending at least partially outside of the filter element plane. A filter device has a filter housing with first and second sealing surfaces. A plate-type filter element is mountable exchangeably in the filter housing. The filter element has a filter medium body, a circumferentially extending seal, and a sealing bracket connected to the seal. The first sealing surface extends in the filter element plane; the second sealing surface extends partially outside of the filter element plane. The seal contacts seal-tightly the first sealing surface; the sealing bracket seal-tightly contacts the second sealing surface.

  • Patent number: 10279424
    Abstract: A filter device for gas filtration has a filter housing and a plate-type filter element disposed in the filter housing. The filter element is provided with a raw side and a clean side and is flowed through from the raw side to the clean side by a gas to be purified in a direction that is orthogonal to a filter plane of the plate-type filter element. A cover element is connected to the filter housing by a tensioning bolt penetrating the filter element. The filter element has a cutout forming a clean-side gas collecting chamber. A sealing element is arranged on the clean side of the filter element and frames the gas collecting chamber at least partially. A sealing eye is connected to the sealing element and arranged in the gas collecting chamber, wherein the tensioning bolt is guided through the sealing eye.

  • Patent number: 9895640
    Abstract: A filter element for a filter device for gas filtration has at least two individual filters which are disposed adjacent to each other and through which the gas to be purified can flow orthogonally to the filter plane. On at least two sides, the individual filters delimit a gas collection chamber that is open on the edge side and that is fluidically connected to the clean sides of the individual filters and used to accommodate the purified gas.

  • Publication number: 20070084162
    Abstract: An apparatus for purification of air comprising comprises a housing having inlet openings for supplying the air to be cleaned and outlet openings for discharging the cleaned air, a filter system disposed in the housing, and a fan arranged to draw air through the housing and filter system. The filter system includes at least one tubular or bag-shaped fleece filter which is arranged on top of a carrier structure and at least one secondary filter element which has a filter fineness which is smaller than the filter fineness of the fleece filter. The entire apparatus is arranged either stationarily or moveably in regions of greater to lesser dust concentration. The cleaned air is conveyed to the region with the higher local dust concentration and thereby significantly decreases the local dust concentration.
