Abstract: A filter element includes a panel construction of filter media; a filter frame holds a periphery of the panel construction; and a bypass arrangement is adjacent to the panel construction. The bypass arrangement includes a door moveable between a closed position and an open position, and a force member holding the door in the closed position until restriction across the filter media reaches a predetermined amount to allow the door to move to the open position. An example force member is a magnet arrangement or a spring. The element is installable in an air cleaner assembly. A method of filtering air directs a flow of air into a housing holding a panel filter element, and prevents bypassing of the filter element by having a bypass door remain closed by exerting a first closing force on the bypass door.

Abstract: An air filter assembly for removing particulate contaminants, chemical contaminants, biological contaminants, or any combination thereof, from airplane cabin air. The filter assembly is lightweight and compact in size. Minimal clearance is needed in order to remove and replace the filter element.
