A filter element for an air filter has a filter bellows with a filter medium folded multiple times. A recess is disposed in the filter bellows and is designed to receive a guiding rib of the air filter. The recess is curved at least in sections thereof along a length extension of the recess. The air filter has a housing and a guiding rib, wherein the filter element is arranged at least partially in the housing and the guiding rib is immersed at least partially in the recess of the filter element. In a method for producing the filter element, the recess in the filter bellows is formed with a computer-assisted separation method that forms the recess to be curved at least in sections thereof.

An air purifier filter is proposed. The air purifier filter includes: a filter body having an inlet and an outlet therein such that air flows therethrough, and a receiving space having formed therein; a substrate provided in the receiving space of the filter body; and activated carbon attached to a surface of the substrate, wherein the substrate has a three-dimensional corrugated structure.

Methods of recirculating clean air in an atmosphere of an enclosure comprise directing an input air stream from the atmosphere of the enclosure through a coiled duct at a rate sufficient to stratify the input air stream within the coiled duct according to a molecular weight of components of the input air stream and to form a heavy fraction stream and a light fraction stream, wherein the heavy fraction stream is relatively enriched in carbon dioxide as compared to the light fraction stream; withdrawing the heavy fraction stream from the coiled duct; and returning the light fraction stream from the coiled duct to the atmosphere of the enclosure.

An air filtration unit is provided with a replaceable media cartridge to reduce the time, material, and labour costs required to maintain the filtration system. A housing portion includes a mounting flange, a supporting frame, and a collar for receiving a replaceable media cartridge. The replaceable media cartridge slides into the frame. At least one cap ensures that air flows through the cartridge and may provide a handle for easy removal and replacement of the cartridge.

The present patent of invention application refers to a draining and sealing device (1), belonging to the field of forward flow or reverse flow mist eliminators or polygonal plate systems used in various industries, which consist of a tubular body (10) formed by an optional upper portion (11) comprising a cover e having a closed upper end (12) and radial drainage openings (13); an intermediate attachment portion comprising a thread (14) or welding ring (15) or flange (16); and a lower tubular portion (17) provided with a lower end having drainage holes (18); said drainage and sealing device (1) also being formed by a body of drainage and sealing fibers (20) housed in the lower tubular portion (17) that provides drainage of the collected liquid and sealing against the countercurrent circulation of mist-containing gas; said drainage and sealing device (1) may have the tubular body (10) without no upper portion (11).
