An apparatus having one or more filters positioned by a connection member. The connection member orientates one or more filters at a transverse angle relative to the horizontal to drain contaminants from the filter.

A separator for a cleaning device, the separator comprising: a housing that encloses a separating volume, the housing comprising an inlet for receiving a fluid flow containing entrained debris into the separating volume, and an outlet for discharging a filtered fluid flow output from the separating volume; a filter screen disposed on or in the housing to define part of a boundary of the separating volume, the filter screen being configured to retain the debris in the separating volume while allowing air to exit the separating volume to flow to the outlet; and a spout that is connected to the inlet, wherein the spout comprises a spout outlet through which the fluid flow is discharged into the separating volume, and wherein the spout is configured to direct the fluid flow across the filter screen.

A grease filter for installation within an aperture of an exhaust hood overlying kitchen equipment where heat or flame may occur, the grease filter comprising an external frame assembly, a UL 1046 listed grease filter, and a removable perforated insert. The external frame assembly defines a pathway for airflow therethrough and partially defines a first chamber of the grease filter and a second chamber of the grease filter. The UL 1046 listed grease filter being disposed within the first chamber of the grease filter and being secured within the external frame assembly. The removable perforated insert being disposed within the second chamber of the grease filter and wherein the external frame assembly is configured to allow the removable perforated insert to be removably installed within the second chamber in a spaced relation from the UL 1046 listed grease filter.

A bracket to mount a filter in an exhaust hood includes clip portion, a restraint portion, and a support portion. The clip portion includes a first wall and a second wall that are substantially parallel to each other with a space formed therebetween. The support portion is disposed between the clip portion and the restraint portion, and the support portion includes a hole formed therein. The filter includes an external support frame embedded with a filter pad, the external support frame being configured to provide support to the filter pad to maintain the filter pad in a generally flat configuration. The filter pad includes fibers selected from the group consisting of: wool fibers, wood-based viscose fibers, and cellulose-based synthetic fibers, the fibers configured to absorb grease particulates.

An oil smoke collection filter of a cooking apparatus ventilation system including a nonwoven fabric having a pleated structure such that a ridge fold part located on a wind-upstream side along the first direction and a valley fold part located on a wind-downstream side along the first direction are alternately arranged along a second direction that is orthogonal to the first direction. The nonwoven fabric includes a ventilation part configured to connect the ridge fold part and the valley fold part to each other and be obliquely arranged with respect to the first direction, and an inclination angle of the ventilation part with respect to the first direction is maintained even when a position of the ventilation part along the first direction changes.

A vehicle air-conditioning apparatus includes a filter case configured to accommodate a filter, and a filter cover configured to couple to an open upper end of the filter case. The filter case defines an inner space configured to accommodate the filter therein and having the open upper end to receive and discharge the filter therethrough. The inner space is inclined with respect to a vertical direction to allow the filter to be received into and discharged from the filter case in an inclined state. The filter cover includes a fixing protrusion protruding from a lower surface of the filter cover facing the inner space of the filter case and being configured to press and fix the filter in the inner space.

A filter element for filtering a fluid is provided with at least one filter bellows with a first areal inflow surface for a first fluid flow of the fluid and at least one second inflow surface for a second fluid flow of the fluid separate from the first fluid flow of the fluid. The at least one second inflow surface is separate from the first areal inflow surface. A flow channel section for the second fluid flow of the fluid is provided. At least one compensation element is arranged in the flow channel section for the second fluid flow of the fluid at a raw side of the filter element. A filter system with a filter housing is provided with such a filter element arranged exchangeably in the filter housing.

An air filter has a filter housing with inlet opening, outlet opening, and service opening. A first filter element and a second filter element are arranged inside the filter housing between inlet opening and outlet opening. The first filter element is arranged in a mounting frame. The first and second filter elements can be flowed through serially in one or more operating states of the air filter. The mounting frame is insertable through the service opening into the filter housing in a joining direction and removable from the filter housing opposite to the joining direction. The second filter element has a wedge stop. A clamping wedge arranged at the mounting frame, upon insertion of the mounting frame into the filter housing, contacts the wedge stop of the second filter element and clamps the second filter element at the filter housing in a clamping direction transversely to the joining direction.
