The adapter may include a collar having an upper rim and a lower rim, a plurality of locking tabs extending from the upper rim, and a plurality of snap members extending from the lower rim. The filter element may include a casing and a plurality of receptacles connected to and arranged around a first outer surface of the casing. The plurality of receptacles are configured to receive the plurality of locking tabs. The housing, which is configured to receive the filter element, includes a shell and a plurality of ramp members that are connected to a second outer surface of the shell. The plurality of ramp members are configure to engage the plurality of snap members.

An air cleaner and a method for controlling an air cleaner are provided. The air cleaner may include a first air cleaning module having a first fan and a first filter; a second air cleaning module having a second fan and a second filter, the second air cleaning module provided vertically over the first air cleaning module; an air flow controller provided at an upper side of the second air cleaning module and including a circulation fan; a sensor configured to sense a pollution level in a room space; an input configured to receive input of a command for an operation mode of a plurality of operation modes to operate the first and second air cleaning modules and the air flow controller; and a controller configured to drive at least one of the first fan, the second fan, or the circulation fan selectively and determine an amount of discharge air flow. Based on at least one of an operation mode input or the pollution level, the controller may operate one of (1) the first fan, (2) the first and second fans, (3) the first and second fans and the circulation fan, or (4) the second fan and the circulation fan.

A compressed air filter apparatus includes a main flow path as a flow path in which compressed air should circulate, formed in a body to extend from a first opening into a penetration hole, an upper inner flow path extending from the penetration hole to an upper inner space, an upper inner and outer flow path extending from the upper inner space to an upper outer space to pass through an upper filer element, a communication flow path extending from the upper outer space to a lower outer space to pass through a communication hole, a secondary flow path extending from the lower outer space to a second opening, a lower inner flow path extending from the penetration hole to a lower inner space, and a lower inner and outer flow path extending from the lower inner space to the lower outer space to pass through a lower filter element.

A high-end processing device for purification of exhaust of a diesel engine includes a connection channel, a plurality of catalytic converters, a plurality of direct-passage ceramic filters, and at least one wall-flow filter. The catalytic converters are arranged, in a manner of being spaced from each other, at a front portion of an exhaust gas flow path defined by the connection channel. The direct-passage ceramic filters and the wall-flow filter are arranged, in a manner of being spaced from each other, at a rear portion of the exhaust gas flow path of the connection channel. The direct-passage ceramic filters and the wall-flow filter are impregnated with urea or ammonia and dried so as to reduce nitrogen oxides (NOx) into nitrogen and water to reduce impact to the environment.

A catalytic filter with enhanced catalyst carrying capability comprising high temperature resistant inorganic fibers, at least one binder and at least one high surface area catalyst support material. Also, a method for making the catalytic filter having at least one high surface area catalyst support material.

A filter element includes a construction of pleated filter media defining an interior volume. First and second opposite end caps are secured to opposite ends of the filter media. A support structure supports the filter media and is operably oriented in the interior volume. The support structure extends from the first opposing interior face to the second opposing interior face. The support structure is provided to extend less than a full extension between the first end cap and second end cap.

A vehicular exhaust filter (2) comprising a porous substrate having an inlet face and an outlet face with the porous substrate comprising inlet channels extending from the inlet face and outlet channels extending from the outlet face is disclosed. The inlet channels and the outlet channels are separated by a plurality of filter walls having a porous structure. The vehicular exhaust filter (2) is loaded with a refractory powder having a tapped density before loading of less than 0.10 g/cm.sup.3 and the vehicular exhaust filter has a mass loading of the refractory powder of less than 10 g/l.

A filter candle is provided, comprising one or more filter elements shaped as hollow cylinders of porous material, the filter elements having substantially identical inner and outer diameters and are disposed coaxially with each other; a support element comprising a metal tube disposed within the filter element(s), said metal tube having an outer diameter smaller than the inner diameter of the filter element(s), said metal tube having a wall with a plurality of perforations; and at least two annular sealing disks having an outer diameter equal to or larger than that of the filter element(s) and an inner diameter smaller than that of the filter element(s), wherein first and second terminal sealing disks are disposed at opposite axial end faces of a single filter element or of a plurality of filter elements disposed in line,
wherein the filter elements are compressed between the first and second terminal sealing disks.
