A minimum floor space air filter unit has an outer housing defined by side walls which has a height that is substantially larger than the base. A blower is mounted in the base. An elongated filter column is mounted in the housing. The blower is positioned below the elongated filter column to draw air with entrained particulate into an air inlet and through the elongated filter column for exiting the housing through an air outlet. Entrained particulate is captured on the exterior surface of the elongated filter column. At least one nozzle is positioned within the interior core of the elongated filter column to pulse air from the interior through the elongate filter media column to remove entrained particulate from the exterior surface.

Filter systems and methods described herein include one or more spacer elements portioned in the dirty air chamber along with the filter elements attached to the spacer elements. The dirty air inlet delivers a dirty air streams into the dirty air chamber along a dirty air flow axis.

A filtration element, which includes filtering tubes that are drilled with straight conical holes, and a central supporting tube and connecters/headcaps. The filtering tubes are arranged so that drilled surface portions face outwarded and the remaining undrilled surface portions are positioned adjacent to the central supporting tube. The filtration media can be made of tubular or flat metals or alloys. A plurality of filtration elements can be bundled using specially designed connectors to meet specific requirements for filtering of fine solid particles from liquids or gases or even liquid-gas-solid three phase. These elements can be used for various applications in filtration fields.

A yoke arrangement is provided including three leg assemblies connected together to releasably mount a filter assembly to a tube sheet. The filter assembly can include a filter element having a first end cap that acts as a spring. The filter assembly can have filter elements with end caps having built in end stops to prevent over-compression.

An oil mist filter is fixed on an air intake of an oil mist collector and contains: a first cover, a second cover, a first filtering unit, a third cover, and a second filtering unit. The first cover is hollow and includes a first through orifice. The second cover is hollow and includes a second through orifice. The first filtering unit is fixed between the first cover and the second cover and includes a chamber for guiding oily substances from the first through orifice. The third cover is placed in the chamber and includes a collection portion and plural arcuate guiding portions radially extending outward from the collection portion. The second filtering unit is disposed between the second cover and the third cover to filter the oily substances from the chamber, and then the oily substances are guided out of the second through orifice via the plural guiding portions.

A filter system has a housing with a housing wall and at least one lid. An inlet socket is arranged at the housing and feeds a fluid to be filtered into the housing. An outlet socket is arranged at the housing and discharges the fluid that has been filtered from the housing. A sensor socket is arranged at an end section of the housing. The sensor socket is arranged angularly relative to a longitudinal axis of the housing at the outlet socket.

A filter media construction wherein at least two layers of a substantially open spacer and at least two layers of a filter media/material are combined in an alternating sequence and coiled around a core to form at least two distinct, continuous or segmented, coil-shaped fluid flow channels that are contiguous but separated by the filter media in the radial direction and extend axially from an inlet side to an outlet side of the filter media construction preventing direct fluid flow between the clean and dirty sides of the filter media construction. The spacer maintains substantially uniform width of the flow channels in the flow direction providing substantially uniform fluid flow. One flow channel is closed to fluid flow at the inlet side forming the clean side and the other flow channel is closed to fluid flow at the outlet side forming the dirty side of the filter media construction.

A filter system has a housing with a housing wall and at least one cover. An inlet port is arranged on the housing and supplies a fluid to be filtered to the housing. An outlet port is arranged on the housing and discharges the fluid that has been filtered from the housing. A support tube is arranged in an interior of the housing and accommodates a filter element. The support tube extends along a housing axis of the housing and has a receiving side, wherein the support tube is connected to the housing by a first detent connection provided on the receiving side.

Diverging nozzles and filter element cleaning systems using the diverging nozzles to produce reverse gas pulses in a variety of cleaning methods are described herein.
