Disclosed is a heat exchanger for a thermal management system of an aircraft assembly, the heat exchanger including: a core including a first side with a first core inlet, a second side opposing the first side and includes a first core outlet, the first core inlet is in fluid communication with the first core outlet, a third side having a second core inlet and a fourth side opposing the third side and includes a second core outlet, the second core inlet is in fluid communication with the second core outlet, and a screen wrapped around the core, the screen covering the first core inlet and the first core outlet, and a plurality of rollers disposed between the core and the screen for movably securing the screen to the core, the rollers engaging the screen and movement of at least one of the rollers moves the screen about the core.

A continuously-operable flow stream processing system and method has two or more fluid processing media arranged in a fluid conduit network to provide alternate flow paths for a flow stream to be processed (e.g. filtered). Valves and other flow control devices, e.g. controller module and sensors, are used to redirect the flow stream from one or more service-needed fluid processing media to service-ready fluid processing media without taking the system offline to remove, repair, replace, clean in situ, or otherwise service the service-needed fluid processing media, so that the system may operate continuously to process the flow stream without stoppage. Redirection into alternative flow paths and media may be automatically implemented based on a predetermined threshold or trigger condition, such as may be detected by sensors directly or indirectly monitoring media condition.

An air purifying unit in which leakage of air flowing between a filter and a blowing fan is significantly reduced, and an air cleaning/ventilation device including the same, are provided. In addition, there are an air cleaning/ventilation device detachably installed in a window, used as a ventilation device, and used as an indoor air cleaning device.

A modular filter for ventilation air vents comprises a filtering fabric roll (1) housed within a casing provided with anchoring means (13) engaging the surface (S) of the container which has the air intake port (B) to be filtered; the casing has a slot (9) for extracting the filtering fabric (T), and has a casing (4) comprised of a shaped wall (5) enclosed at the ends by covers (10, 40, 44, 51) or end supports (7, 47) of this wall having a shape corresponding to the shaped wall (5) and maintaining a longitudinal slot (9) at the front edges of the shaped wall to allow the passage for the extraction of the front (F) of the filtering fabric (T) unwound from the filtering fabric roll (1); at least one screw stay rod (8, 54) is placed between two covers (51) or end supports (7, 47) of the shaped wall and is tightened to define the proper distance between the two end supports or covers (51), by tightening the end supports (7, 47) or covers (51) to the shaped wall (5), one at each end, to close the access to the casing, and containing the filtering fabric roll (1) floating and free to rotate when the filtering fabric is dragged from the outside of the modular filter. Various methods for producing the shaped wall (5) and finalizing the casing (4) of the modular filter are indicated.

An air filter system in accordance with the present invention includes a filter housing that defines an airflow channel. A supply roll of a filter medium, and a take-up roll for receiving the filter medium from the supply roll are positioned parallel to each other in the airflow channel. A plurality of wire mesh diverter-screens are positioned between the supply roll and the take-up roll to establish a tortuous path for statically positioning the filter medium across the airflow channel. Periodically, the take-up roll can be rotated to draw replacement filter medium into position on the tortuous path.

A system and method for automatically cleaning air filters of a medical imaging system is provided. The method includes monitoring an air filter operating condition, determining that the air filter operating condition is not within a pre-determined threshold, and providing a control signal to at least one air filter. The at least one air filter comprises a motor, drive shaft, rotatable passive shaft, continuous belt air filter, and a stationary filter brush. The drive shaft is rotatably coupled to the motor. The continuous belt air filter is coupled to the drive shaft and the passive shaft. The stationary filter brush is mounted against the continuous belt air filter. The method includes rotating, by the motor in response to the control signal, the drive shaft to translate the continuous belt air filter around and between the drive shaft and the rotatable passive shaft, and across the stationary filter brush.
