Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate generally to filter assemblies that include filter elements with cross-channel flow having flat and/or folded arrangements for optimized functionality and performance. The filter assemblies may be formed (e.g., shaped, constructed, etc.) using a variety of shapes, angles, configurations, and materials to improve the filtration and cross-channel flow of fluid through the filter media. The filter media may implement a wide variety of patterns (e.g., repeating, origami, rounded, etc.), shapes (e.g., tetrahedral, rhombus, square), and construction (e.g., pleated, integrated, interdigitated, etc.).

Abstract: A filter assembly includes a support fame, a filter media, and a conditioning device. The filter media is coupled to the support frame. The filter media has a dirty side that receives an air stream and a clean side that outputs the air stream after having been filtered by the filter media. The conditioning device is coupled to the support frame. The conditioning device is positioned downstream of the clean side of the filter media with respect to the air stream and directly contacts the clean side of the filter media.

Abstract: Filtration systems having a tangential air cleaner having a coiled media filter element and a cyclonic pre-cleaner are described. An outer wall of the filter element acts as a pre-cleaner sleeve of the housing to generate a cyclonic flow of the intake air prior to the intake air being filtered by the filter element. The housing cover includes geometry that redirects the cyclonic low from a tangential path to an axial, straight-through flow directed through an inlet flow face of the filter element. Various embodiments of such filtration systems offer increased filter performance and capacity compared to similarly sized cylindrical pleated filter elements having a radial flow filtering path.

Abstract: Filter media including one or multiple sheets of filter media, an upstream inlet, and a downstream outlet. A pleat pack can be formed by alternately folding a flat sheet along pleat fold lines with a high media surface density. The flat sheet of filter media may include a separation geometry feature or separation mechanism that maintains a separation distance between adjacent pleats of the filter media. A separation geometry can comprise one or more embossments forming a raised surface, an inlet spacer mesh and/or an outlet spacer mesh positioned between adjacent pleats, and/or an adhesive bead. The upstream inlet receives dirty fluid along a first direction and the downstream outlet discharges clean fluid along a second direction substantially not parallel to the first direction. The filter element defines an angle between the inlet and outlet flow, allowing large dust particles to move out of the media pack due to inertia.

Abstract: Inertial particle separators having an axially translating or a deformable poppet component are described. The poppet component axially translates to accommodate a wide range of flowrates through the inertial particle separator. In some arrangements, the poppet component is biased by a spring towards a closed or restricted position. The variable flowrate and constriction provided by the poppet maintains a substantially constant pressure drop and separation efficiency during operation across a wide range of flowrates through the separators.
