Filter assembly
There is provided a filter assembly arranged to be mounted over the air inlet of a fan assembly, the filter assembly comprising a filter frame arranged to support one or more filter media. The filter frame is provided with a first engagement member on a first edge of the filter frame and a second engagement member on a second edge of the filter frame, the first edge being opposite to the second edge. The first engagement member and the second engagement member are each configured to be engaged by a respective retention assembly when mounted on the fan assembly.
Hollow filter element, in particular for gas filtration
A hollow filter element for insertion into an openable filter housing has a filter medium body configured as a hollow body surrounding an inwardly positioned flow space. At least one end disk is connected to the filter medium body and covers an axial end face of the filter medium body. A positioning element is arranged at the at least one end disk and interacts with a housing-associated blade of the filter housing. The positioning element receives the housing-associated blade with form fit in two different transverse directions relative to the longitudinal axis of the filter medium body. The positioning element has a positioning recess.
CONCENTRIC FILTER SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR AIR TREATMENT
Systems for treatment of air are provided. In one embodiment, a system comprises a pre-filter layer, a smaller particle filtration layer, a carbon layer and a photocatalytic layer. Among the four layers, the pre-filter layer may be the furthest upstream in a direction of air flow, and the photocatalytic layer may be the furthest downstream in a direction of air flow.
Filter cartridge arrangements and assemblies; preferred features; methods of assembly and use
The present disclosure relates to filter assemblies. The features described and characterized are typically applied in gas (for example, air) cleaner assemblies. A typical use is in air cleaner assemblies for vehicles or other equipment. The techniques described relate, at least in part, to provision of assemblies with preferred configurations for convenient servicing and operation, while ensuring a proper cartridge is appropriately positioned, oriented and secured for use. Many of the techniques relate to arrangements in which features at opposite ends of a housing and/or cartridge are eccentrically positioned as described.

Pulse ring assembly for air cleaner systems and methods thereof
A pulse ring assembly for air cleaner systems that is adapted to produce a pulse ring of gas to clean a filter element. The air cleaner system may include an outer tube and an inner tube configured to receive the inner tube such that at least a portion of an interior surface of the outer tube faces at least a portion of an exterior surface of the inner tube. The outer tube may include a pulse port extending between the interior and exterior surfaces of the outer tube into an outer tube passageway. Filtered air may be configured to flow from a first filter cartridge, through the outer and inner tubes, and to an engine intake. The system may also include a pulse jet apparatus in fluid communication with the pulse port of the outer tube and configured to direct gas through the pulse port towards the first filter cartridge.

Filter assembly with multiple filter media
A filter assembly including: a first filter medium that is bent so that high-point portions and low-point portions defined based on a vertical plane with respect to a first direction are alternately and repeatedly formed in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction; a first filter frame configured to accommodate the first filter medium and to fix an edge side of the first filter medium; a second filter medium that is bent so that the low-point portions and the high-point portions based on the vertical plane with respect to the first direction are alternately and repeatedly formed in the second direction; and a second filter frame configured to accommodate the second filter medium and to fix an edge side of the second filter medium, wherein at least a portion of the high-point portions repeatedly formed in the first filter medium have different heights from those of the other high-point portions, and at least a portion of the low-point portions repeatedly formed in the second filter medium have different heights from those of the other low-point portions, and the first and second filter media are bent in such a way that a first filter medium high-point envelope connecting high points of the first filter medium and a second filter medium low-point envelope connecting low points of the second filter medium correspond to each other when viewed from a cross-section including the first direction and the second direction, and the first and second filter frames are combined with each other so that the first filter medium high-point envelope and the second filter medium low-point envelope face each other.
