A filter element may include first and second pairs of opposing walls extending along a longitudinal axis of the filter element. The first and second pairs of opposing walls may create a flow passage between an inlet end and an outlet end of the filter element. The filter element may further include filter media configured to separate particulates from air flowing through the flow passage, and a wedge element associated with an exterior surface of at least one of the first pair of opposing walls. The wedge element may be configured to cooperate with an interior surface of a filter housing configured to receive the filter element. Outlet edges of the opposing walls of the first pair of opposing walls may extend at a first oblique angle with respect to the longitudinal axis, and the wedge element may extend at a second oblique angle with respect to the longitudinal axis.

A filter apparatus for filtering a stream of gas. The cartridge has an upper part and a lower part. The upper part is joined to the lower part by a connection. The filter cartridge supports a filter element. The filter cartridge has a resilient connection arrangement for connecting the filter cartridge to a bowl of a filter apparatus. The filter apparatus has a head, a bowl connectable to and sealable relative to said head, and the filter cartridge.

A compressor system includes a compression module having an inlet for receiving air; and a filter housing in fluid communication with the compression module. The filter housing is constructed to house a filter, the filter having a sealing feature disposed at a first end of the filter and having an engagement feature disposed at a second end of the filter opposite the first end. The filter housing includes a trap door constructed to contact the engagement feature, and constructed to drive the engagement feature in a direction parallel to an axis of the filter toward the sealing feature and urge the sealing feature into sealing engagement with the filter housing.

A clothes dryer has a front support and a filter apparatus. The front support includes a drying air duct having an air outlet that communicates with a circulation air duct arranged inside the clothes dryer. An air inlet of the drying air duct communicates with a clothes treating chamber of the clothes dryer. The filter apparatus is inserted into and mounted in the air duct from the air inlet and covers the whole cross section of the drying air duct. The entire filter apparatus can be accommodated and mounted in the internal space of the front support, so that the area of the filter apparatus blocking thread scraps is increased, and the filtering efficiency is improved.

A filter system comprises a pressure vessel housing with internal components designed to remove solid particles, semi-solid particles, and liquid droplets from a gas phase media. The filter housing utilizes multiple replaceable filter cartridges. The system includes a keyed filter coalescer cartridge designed to flow from the inside open area of the cartridge to the outside annular area of the housing prior to leaving the system through an outlet nozzle. The key is designed to locate a baffle of the filter cartridge inlet side end cap in a certain orientation as to provide enhanced liquid removal performance for the system. The baffle may also serve as a handle.

The present disclosure provides a floor cleaner that includes a replaceable component, such as a filter. The floor cleaner has a detection mechanism comprising a magnet on the replaceable component and a Hall Effect sensor positioned to detect the permanent magnet when the replaceable component is correctly installed on the floor cleaner. Operation of one or more electrically-powered components of the floor cleaner is prevented when the permanent magnet is not detected by the Hall Effect sensor.

An air purification system for installation over a vent. The air purification system includes a housing including a rear-section having a filter-compartment; and a front-section having a set of horizontal-slats (louvers). Further, the air purification system includes a filter-receptacle removably received within the filter-compartment and configured to removably house a filter-means such as a HEPA filter. The filter-receptacle can be lowered from the housing so that a user may change or clean the filter-means, and then raised back into the housing for use. The air purification system is useful for filtering particles such as pet hair, pollen, mold, viruses, bacteria, etc. from air vented through the vent, therefore purifying air in a building.

A coating material mist remover of the present disclosure includes: a first duct that discharges air containing coating material mist from an outflow port directed downward; a second duct having an inflow port opened in a horizontal direction; and an incinerable intermediate filter that is detachably connected between the first duct and the second duct and removes the coating material mist from the air. The coating material mist remover also includes: a first connection mechanism that can connect and separate the first duct and the intermediate filter; and a second connection mechanism that can connect and separate the second duct and the intermediate filter.

An indoor unit for an air conditioner including: a cabinet assembly forming an external appearance of the indoor unit and having a suction port formed in a rear surface of the cabinet; a filter module movably disposed in rear of the cabinet assembly; a filter module mounted to the filter mounting member and filtering foreign substances in air flowing into the suction port; a mobile member connected to the filter mounting member and moving a position of the filter mounting member; a driving device pressing the mobile member to change the position of the filter mounting member; and a controller configured to, in response to receiving a control command to change the position of the filter mounting member, operate the driving device that presses the mobile member.

The present disclosure relates to a portable air purifier. The portable air purifier includes: a fan case having a narrow width portion at the front thereof and a wide width portion at the rear thereof, the narrow width portion including a space the radiuswise width of which is less than the radiuswise width of the wide width portion, and a fan blade protruding centrifugally further than the space formed inside the narrow width portion while being disposed at the wide width portion.
