A purification device for disinfecting and filtering intake air is disclosed. The purification device comprises a housing provided with a number of inlet perforations for allowing the intake air to enter the housing and a number of air outlet perforations for allowing air purified by the purification device to leave the housing. The purification device moreover comprises a fan arranged inside the housing to suck the intake air into the housing and blow the purified air out of the housing. The purification device further comprises an ultraviolet radiation lamp arranged inside the housing to irradiate the intake air. The purification device also comprises a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter arranged to filter the intake air before the intake air leaves the housing as purified air. The filter comprises a plurality of pleats arranged in such a manner that the angle between adjacent pleats is 30 degrees or less.

The present disclosure generally relates to an air filtration system, an air filtration device, and an air filtration module for removing ultra-fine particles (UFPs), pathogens (e.g., viruses, bacteria, etc.), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), oxides or odors. The systems, devices, and filter modules of the disclosure perform at enhanced filter and power efficiencies. An air filtration system is provides that includes a docking base for receiving a removable, portable air filtration device in fluid communication with the docking base. In certain embodiments, the air filtration system further includes the removable, portable air filtration device. The portable air filtration device may optionally include an air filtration module.

An integrated surgical smoke filtration and detoxification system. The system includes a housing that may include an interior chamber for detoxification and filtration performed by a detoxification system. The detoxification system may include a suction device and a filter and may be used to receive surgical smoke through a first portion of the chamber and exhaust detoxified surgical smoke through a second portion of the chamber.

An elevator air filtration system having an elevator car, an outdoor intake HEPA air filtration system that creates HEPA filtered air at a desired temperature, humidity and quantity of filtered outdoor air, and a retractable hose system that delivers the HEPA filtered air to the elevator car.

An oil separator providing a housing with an inlet for an oil-gas mixture and which defines a space that is closed off my means of a lid, whereby a screen is provided in the aforementioned space in which a filter element is provided and a pipe or collector that connects the interior of the filter element to an outlet in the housing for purified gas, whereby this filter element has a lid and a bottom for collecting oil that has been filtered out, whereby a drainage line is provided for the removal of the oil that has been filtered out, wherein the pipe or collector runs to the lid of the filter element and is connected thereto by means of an electrically conductive connecting element, whereby the sidewall of the pipe or collector is provided with at least one opening for the removal of purified gas.

A food recycler can include a housing having a housing volume, a motor in electrical communication with a controller, a grinding mechanism in mechanical communication with the motor, a bucket having a bucket volume, the bucket being configured with the grinding mechanism contained therein, and a removable filter having a side wall, a top surface, a bottom surface and a filter material, wherein the side wall, the top surface, the bottom surface and the filter material are all made from a compostable or biodegradable material. A ratio of the bucket volume to the housing volume can be between 0.0717 and 0.2857, inclusive. The motor can be configured within the housing adjacent, at least in part, to the bucket.

An air cleaner of this disclosure includes a hollow case, a filter element, and an opening end member. The hollow case defines an expanded space; the filter element defines an upstream-side expanded space and a downstream-side expanded space in the expanded space; the case includes an intake port configured to bring an upstream-side duct into communication with the upstream-side expanded space; the opening end member is formed from a material having an air permeability in a range of 0.3 to 100 sec/300 cc, and is integrated on an inner side of the intake port so as to project into the upstream-side expanded space and so as to extend a duct wall of the intake port; and D representing a diameter of the opening end member and L representing a length thereof satisfy 0.25D≦L≦2.0D.

An air filter is provided for use with an internal combustion engine including an air intake conduit. The air filter includes a top, a bottom, and filter media extending between the top and the base of the bottom to filter incoming air. The top is closed to prevent air flow therethrough. The bottom includes an annular base having an inner perimeter and an outer perimeter spaced apart from and surrounding the inner perimeter, an opening defined by the inner perimeter to deliver filtered air to the air intake conduit, a first tab portion extending outward away from the base, and a second tab portion extending outward away from the base.

A filter device is disclosed having a round filter element having a filter medium body with an open interior. The filter element is installable into a filter housing having a base filter housing and a housing cover, in which an inflow opening of the cover overlaps against and aligns with an inflow opening of a base housing part such they form a continuous inflow opening. A support mesh cage arranged on the radially outer wall of the annular filter medium body. The filter housing has a longitudinally extended cross-sectional shape in which the inflow opening and an outlet opening are both arranged on the base housing part at opposing sides of the base housing part.

A filtering system may include a holder and an exchangeable filter element. The filter element may include a first end plate, a second end plate, and a filtering material arranged between the first end plate and the second end plate that separates a filtered zone from an unfiltered zone. The second end plate may protrude beyond the filtering material. The filtering system may further include at least one filtered opening and at least one unfiltered opening, and the at least one filtered opening may be disposed in the filter element. The filter element may lie detachably on the holder, and the holder together with the second end plate, the filtering material and an outer wall may enclose the unfiltered zone.
