  • Patent number: 11439938
    Abstract: A replaceable air filter element has a multilayer filter medium panel configured for mounting on a reusable exoskeleton support frame. The exoskeleton support frame is installable on a flow face of the filter medium panel and is provided with U-shaped locking members configured to detachably engage with and mount the filter medium panel. The exoskeleton support frame is configured to be reused such that only the filter medium panel is replaced, thereby reducing the environmental waste and making for a “green” eco-friendly air filter element.
