FILTER ELEMENTS, AIR CLEANER ASSEMBLIES, AND METHODS OF USE AND ASSEMBLY
Air cleaner assemblies, components, and features are described. The features can be used to provide that the air cleaner assembly includes a housing and cover within which primary and secondary filter cartridges, having a media pack and a seal arrangement surrounding the media pack, can be installed. The filter cartridges can include an open end cap with an axially deviating seal arrangement and a plurality of axially extending channels for engaging with ribs on the housing. The filter cartridges can also include extension members extending from the open end cap that include the axially extending channels, entirely or partially. The filter cartridges can also include a guide member extending from the extension members for providing a low friction surface against the housing during installation that allows axial force exerted by the installer to be translated into a rotational force that rotates the filter cartridge during installation.
CLAMP SYSTEM AND FILTER ARRANGEMENT AND METHODS
A filter system and clamp system for a gas turbine air inlet uses a single clamp system that allows for securing in place both a first element and a second element on the grid of the gas turbine air inlet. The clamp system can be released to allow for services of the first filter element, while the second filter element remains in sealing engagement with the grid.
Filtration device having a latch mechanism
A filtration device may include a filter element and a housing that is configured to receive the filter element. The filter element may include a casing having a first outer surface and a flange connected to the first outer surface. The flange may include a plurality of snap members. A snap member, of the plurality of snap members, may include a fulcrum projecting from the flange and a lever mounted on the fulcrum. The housing may include a shell having a second outer surface and a plurality of ramp members. The plurality of ramp members may be fixedly connected to the second outer surface and may be configured to engage the plurality of snap members of the filter element. A ramp member, of the plurality of ramp members, may include an angled surface that extends from the second outer surface at an acute angle relative to the second outer surface.
CURVED LOBED SEAL LOCK AIR FILTER SYSTEM
Various embodiments provide for a filter assembly. The filter assembly includes a filter housing, a filter element, and a cover. The filter housing has a first housing end and a second housing end that define an internal cavity. The filter housing has a housing seal member formed on the second housing end. The filter element is disposed in the internal cavity. The filter element includes a filter media, an endplate, and a filter seal member. The filter media has a first media end and a second media end. The endplate is disposed at the first media end. The filter seal member is formed on the endplate. The filter seal member includes an inner seal portion and an outer seal portion. The filter seal member is configured to engage the housing seal member. The cover secures the engagement of the housing seal member and the filter seal member.
Filter housing of a filter for a fluid and filter
The present invention relates to filter housing (12) of a filter (10) for a fluid and a filter (10). The filter housing (12) comprises a housing body (24), which is comprising at least one openable installation opening and at least one housing cover (26), which is configured to close off the at least one openable installation opening, and at least one fastening and/or locking device (186), which is configured to secure the at least one housing cover (26) in its closed position in the housing body (24). The housing body (24) comprises an element receptacle configured to receive, through the at least one openable installation opening at least one filter element. At least one fastening and/or locking device (186) has at least one U-shaped bracket element (188), whose arm sections (206) are connected to a cross beam (192), and at least one eccentric element (187) which is mounted rotatable with respect to a rotation axis (190) on the cross beam (192). The at least one bracket element (188) can pivot with respect to a bracket pivot axis (196) such, that the cross beam with the at least one eccentric element (187) is pivotable on the side of the housing body (24) with the at least one installation opening. In a closed position the at least one eccentric element (187) is engaged with the at least one housing cover (26) and the at least one bracket element (188) grips around the housing cover (26) such, that a part of the housing cover (26) is located between the arm sections (206) of the bracket element (188).
FILTER SECUREMENT ASSEMBLY
Filter assemblies are described. In particular, a filter securement assembly for receiving and retaining a filter media in an exhaust hood includes a main panel defining a first end and an opposed second end, a first retainment surface adjacent the first end of the main panel, a first retainment lip adjacent the first retainment surface, a second retainment surface adjacent the second end of the main panel and a second retainment lip adjacent the second retainment surface.
Utilizing a mechanical seal between a filter media and an endcap of a rotating filter cartridge
Referring to the figures generally, a rotating filter cartridge includes a first endcap, a second endcap, and a filter media. The filter media is positioned between the first endcap and the second endcap. The filter media creates a mechanical seal between at least one of the first endcap or the second endcap during rotation of the rotating filter cartridge without the use of a potting material. In at least one embodiment, the rotating filter cartridge further includes a body secured to the first endcap and the second endcap. At least one of the first endcap or the second endcap, and the body, may form a pocket that radially pinches the filter media to form the mechanical seal.
Apparatus for safely enabling air filtering with box fans and filter
An apparatus for safely enabling air filtering by temporarily joining a box fan to a replaceable air filter includes: (a) an air chamber frame with a rear portion that is configured to accommodate the replaceable air filter, (b) a frame stabilizing means that includes a front mounting platform which is configured to temporarily hold a box fan that is oriented to pull air through the filter, (c) a gasket that is configured to attach to the frame's front surface and minimize air flow around the gasket and into the frame, (d) a vent door located in the frame and configured to open to allow air to enter the frame's interior region when the filter is clogged, (e) an alarm mechanism attached to the vent door and configured to provide a signal when the door is been opened, and (f) an alarm device configured to receive the alarm mechanism's signal and provide an alarm that the air filter needs replacement.
