  • Publication number: 20210205745
    Abstract: A filter unit for use with a filtrating fluid flow system is configured to receive a flow of a fluid containing particulate matter. The filter unit comprises a filter structure formed of a filter material configured to at least partially filter the particulate matter from the flow of fluid. The filter unit further comprises an entry plate located proximate the filter structure entrance. The filter structure and the entry plate together define a fluid cavity within the filter unit, the entry plate having at least one orifice defined therein through which the flow of fluid can pass into the fluid cavity. The orifice is configured to form a choke, creating a Venturi effect for temporarily increasing the velocity of the flow of fluid through the entry plate and within the fluid cavity, and onto the filter material.

  • Publication number: 20060236856
    Abstract: A fluid handling device having a support frame and a plurality of filter frames attached thereto. Each of the filter frames has an outer frame member that removably secures a filter; the filters being either a planar filter, pocket filter, or multiple pocket filter. The various filters can be arranged to correlate the change-out schedule of all of the filters across the fluid flow area. The filters with the highest particulate capacity can be arranged to be in the zone of the fluid flow area with the highest particulate concentration. The filters are easily constructed from a single piece of filtration media and collapsible to save space when storing or shipping.

  • Publication number: 20060000196
    Abstract: A fluid filter is disclosed which comprises a layer of high loft, non-woven, fibrous, fluid-permeable material having a length and a width, an upper surface, a lower surface, and a thickness measured between the upper and lower surfaces which is non-constant. The non-constant thickness is achieved by providing a series of spaced-apart grooves separated by a series of spaced-apart ridges. The lower surface is substantially planar and the grooves each have a generally U-shaped cross section with the ridges having a generally inverted U-shaped cross section. A modified form of the invention is also disclosed wherein the zones of higher flow resistance have a greater density than the zones of lower flow resistance. In this embodiment, the thickness of the filter is constant. The method of filtering particulate material from a fluid stream is also disclosed.
