  • Patent number: 11865489
    Abstract: A filter element has a sheet of filter media having a first elongate edge and a second elongate edge. The sheet of filter media defines a plurality of pleats, a first set of pleat folds and a second set of pleat folds, where each of the plurality of pleats extend between the first set of pleat folds and the second set of pleat folds. The first set of pleat folds each extend from the first elongate edge to the second elongate edge, and the second set of pleat folds each extend from the first elongate edge to the second elongate edge. Each of the plurality of pleats defines a repeating wave pattern of flute peaks and flute valleys alternating from the first set of pleat folds to the second set of pleat folds. Each of the flute peaks and flute valleys extend from the first elongate edge to the second elongate edge.
