  • Variable Filter Media Thickness for Improved Flow and Filter Performance
    Publication number: 20250256226
    Abstract: Thicker and thinner portions of a filter media sheet are provided in a filter element. The filter element includes a ring of filter media disposed around a central support tube. The filter media comprising a pleated layer of media including inner pleat tips adjacent the tube, and outer pleat tips radially outwardly spaced from the tube. The layer varies in thickness between the tips, such that a thinner portion of media is at the inner pleat tips than as at the outer pleat tips.

  • Evaporative cooling pack with same direction flutes designed to prevent nesting
    Patent number: 12025056
    Abstract: An evaporative cooling pack formed from first and second corrugated media sheets is provided. The evaporative cooling pack cools a flow of air using a cooling fluid. The first and second corrugated media sheets have flutes that extend at different angles relative to a reference line and at such relative angles and have flute pitches that inhibit nesting of the adjacent sheets.
