The pocket channel frame provides a means for attaching the distal ends of a pocket frame without the need of any tools. The pocket channel frame is formed from a longitudinal member having an elongated C shaped cross section. One end comprises is a flared out female end with a rectangular slot or 5 hole in it. The opposing distal end of the longitudinal having a C shaped cross section is swaged down into a projecting male end including a lance punched in the web. When the male end is swaged, an edge is created in the transition area from male to female which acts as a stop means for cooperatively engaging the female receiving distal end and sets the length of a short side of the pocket channel frame. During assembly, the lance snaps into the hole cooperatively engaging the slot on the 10 female side preventing the channel frame from coming back apart.

This publication discloses a filter unit connectable to a mobile communication device including a fan for generating an air flow inside the filter unit, electrodes covered with a photo catalytic material like TiO.sub.2 in the air flow, UV-LEDs illuminating the electrodes, and outlet for the air flow directed in direction of user of filter unit.

A removable filter system and a dust collector with the removable filter system. The dust collector includes a filter carriage movably connected to a carriage base; at least one filter and filter support removably connected to the filter carriage. The filter carriage is movable between at least three positions: in the first position the filter being in an operational location, in the second position the filter being vertically lower but inside the dust collector, and in the third position the filter being outside the dust collector. A method for replacing a filter in the dust collector includes lowering the filter with the filter carriage; translating the filter and carriage out of the dust collector housing; removing the filter from the carriage; placing a replacement filter on the carriage; translating the replacement into the dust collector housing; and raising the filter carriage to lock the replaced filter into an operational location.

A filter bag for pocket air filters has two abutting side parts which are made of an air-permeable filter material that is weldable by ultrasound. The side parts are continuously welded to one another in side edge portions on three sides of the side parts so that a pocket having two opposite side edges, a bottom edge and an opening opposite said bottom edge is formed. Several webs made from a flexible material web are formed in the pocket. The webs connect the side parts to one another and are orientated from an opening side of the filter bag in the direction of the bottom edge. The flexible material web is alternately connectedat least in portionsto one of the side parts in each case in weld portions. The weld portions are delimited by at least one weld across the direction of flow.

A fabric filter system (26) useful for filtering a polluted gas to achieve a cleaned gas with a relatively low particulate matter content, including during a period of time from fabric filter bag (32) cleaning up until dust cake formation on the fabric filter bag (32). For such purpose, the subject fabric filter system (26) is equipped with a polluted gas flow damper system (100) to control polluted gas velocity through the fabric filter system (26), particularly for a relatively reduced polluted gas velocity during the period of time from fabric filter bag (32) cleaning up until dust cake formation on the fabric filter bag (32).

Filter media including a waved filtration layer are described herein. The filtration layer may be held in a waved configuration by a support layer. In some cases, the filtration layer may have a combination of characteristics (e.g., mean flow pore size, basis weight, amongst others) that can lead to enhanced filtration performance (e.g., reduced air permeability decrease), in particular, in high humidity environments. The filter media may be used to form a variety of filter elements for use in various applications. In some embodiments, at least a surface of the filtration layer is hydrophilic.

A road vehicle with a vehicle frame and a rear axle connected to the vehicle frame is provided with an ambient air purification device with filter elements for removing dust, particulate matter, and gases from ambient air. The ambient air purification device is arranged transverse to a longitudinal vehicle axis in an exterior region of the road vehicle at a vehicle rear of the road vehicle in an underfloor region such that at least the filter elements are arranged behind the rear axle of the road vehicle in a travel direction of the road vehicle. The ambient air purification device is received in an installation space of the vehicle frame. The ambient air purification device is flowed through in longitudinal vehicle direction. A free outflow zone of the ambient air purification device is arranged, in travel direction of the road vehicle, behind the ambient air purification device.

The present invention provides a dust collector which includes a chamber divided into an inlet chamber and a discharge chamber by a barrier, and a bag filter which is installed inside of the inlet chamber, and is formed in a shape having an inner space and an opening part by a filter medium, so as to communicate with the discharge chamber through the opening part, wherein a treatment gas is introduced into the inlet chamber and is filtered while passing through the filter medium of the bag filter, then moves to the discharge chamber through the opening part to be discharged, and the bag filter has air permeability decreased toward the opening part. According to the bag filter and the dust collector, it is possible to achieve a high collection performance and a stable operation even when using a long bag filter due to improvement of uniformity of the filtration velocity along the length of the bag filter.

A control system integrated into an industrial dust collector. The system has at least one programmable processing unit that communicates with a plurality of sensors located in the dust collector to provide data of the collector's behavior with feedback allowing real-time modifications to the operating parameters defined during the design. Additionally, a service-life prediction element of used-filters based on a reference chart is included.

A system for conditioning stucco particulate material includes a vessel having separation chamber in communication with a holding chamber having a holding volume therein. The conditioning system includes the holding volume sufficient to condition the stucco particulate material therein and/or a control system configured to delay discharge of the stucco particulate material from the holding chamber. The system for conditioning stucco particulate material is configured to increase residence time of the stucco particulate material in the holding chamber to promote calcining conditioning therein.
