An improved isolation ward structure includes a top portion further comprising a space, a fresh-air pipe, a communication pipe and a an exhaust-connected pipe wherein the space is furnished with an air filtration unit (FFU); an end of the communication pipe is communicated with the fresh-air pipe while its other end is communicated with the air filtration unit (FFU), an end of the exhaust-connected pipe is communicated with the fresh-air pipe; a bedroom being positioned under the air filtration unit (FFU) will let the air which is filtered through the air filtration unit (FFU) enter the bedroom; a bottom portion being positioned under the bedroom has a semi-hermetic space formed by the plurality of elevated honeycomb floors; the air within the bedroom will enter the semi-hermetic space which will let the pathogenic air within the bedroom (10) flow therein via the plurality of honeycomb floors (22) and re-circulate through the air filtration unit (FFU) to be filtered; and a backflow circulation portion being positioned above the semi-hermetic space and below the space with its upper end communicates with the other end of the exhaust-connected pipe; the backflow circulation portion is adjacent to the bedroom for re-circulating the air waited to be filtered within the semi-hermetic space to the fresh-air pipe therein.

In a substrate processing apparatus (1), above a plurality of processing parts (31) arrayed in an up-and-down direction, arranged are a plurality of collecting pipes (61a to 61c). The plurality of collecting pipes (61a to 61c) correspond to a plurality of fluid classifications, respectively. Further, provided are a plurality of exhaust pipes (4) extending upward from the plurality of processing parts (31), into which exhaust gases from the processing parts (31) flow, respectively. At an upper end portion of each of the exhaust pipes (4), provided is a flow path switching part (5) which connects the upper end portion to the plurality of collecting pipes (61a to 61c) and switches a flow path of the exhaust gas flowing in the exhaust pipe (4) among the plurality of collecting pipes (61a to 61c). In the substrate processing apparatus (1), it is possible to reduce a pressure loss in the exhaust pipe (4) and reduce a footprint.

A cleaner includes a suction unit, a main body including a cyclone unit for separating dust from air suctioned through the suction unit, and a dust container that stores dust separated in the cyclone unit below the cyclone unit. A filter unit is disposed inside the cyclone unit for filtering the air, and a movable unit disposed inside the cyclone unit includes a cleaning part for cleaning the outer circumference of the filter unit. An operation unit disposed outside the main body moves the movable unit and the cleaning part to remove dust from the outer surface of the filter unit.

The present invention provides a gas filter comprising an active element and a housing structure for said active element, said housing structure comprising a gas inlet and a gas outlet, said active element comprising or consisting of: a matrix material; a CO.sub.2 sorbent; and water, wherein at least some of the CO.sub.2 sorbent is embedded within the matrix material.

A liquid separator (10) for separating liquid from a gas-liquid mixture has a housing (12), an inlet (14), an outlet (16), a flow path (18) connecting the inlet (14) to the outlet (16), and a separation device (20), arranged in the flow path (18), for liquid separation, wherein a diverting element (22) is arranged adjacent to the separation device (20). Said diverting element separates an inlet region (24) of the housing (12), into which the inlet (14) opens, and an outlet region (26) of the housing (12), from which the outlet (16) opens, from one another, wherein the flow path (18) extends from the inlet region (24) via a low-flow region (46) into the outlet region (26).

An indoor unit for an air-conditioning apparatus includes a cartridge provided to an air inlet so as to be freely mountable and dismountable. The cartridge accommodates a filter so as to be freely movable in a fore-and-aft direction and has an opening port formed in one end portion in the fore-and-aft direction. A dust box is provided on a side of the end portion of the cartridge. The dust box includes a cleaning mechanism configured to clean the filter and a dust collecting portion configured to collect dust.

A filter system for filtering fluid has a filter housing with inlet socket and outlet socket for fluid. A central tube with radially open region over a portion of its axial length is arranged in the filter housing in flow communication with the outlet socket in an operating state. Within the central tube, a secondary element is arranged slidably between first and second operating positions. A filter element, separating a raw fluid side from a clean fluid side, has a filter bellows with a first end plate at a first end face and a second end plate at a second end face. The end plates have central openings for receiving the central tube in the filter element interior. In the first operating position, the secondary element opens a fluid path through the radially open region of the central tube and closes the fluid path in the second operating position.

A blow-by gas filtration assembly fluidically connects to a vehicle engine system to receive blow-by gases and filter the suspended particles. A filtration assembly main body includes a filtration chamber and an outlet mouth. A filter group is radially crossable by blow-by gases from outside to inside, including a central cavity. A command group partially houses and supports on the main body operatively connected to the filter group to command the filter group in rotation. A support group supporting the filter group includes a bearing element with an outer fifth wheel sealingly engaging an outlet edge, an inner fifth wheel defining an outlet passage for filtered blow-by gases, and a hollow tubular member defining an outlet duct, including a bearing end operatively connected to the inner fifth wheel and a support portion extending from the bearing end, in the central cavity, mounting the filter group on the support portion.
