A method for manufacturing a filter (1) for gas masks includes providing a flat paper and folding the paper into a pleated preform. The filter element (2) is separated from the pleated preform (6) and is inserted into a housing (3). The inserted filter element (2) is connected to the housing (3) at least at some points. This filter elements (2) may have a polygonal outer contour, upon separating the element from the pleated filter preform (6). A foam and/or an adhesive is applied to an outer edge of the filter element (2), arranged on the circumference of the filter element, for an at least partial sealing of an edge (5). This establishes a connection to the housing (3) in at least some sections.

An air filter and air purification technology including a frame encompassing a filter channel and a filter medium across the filter channel. The air filter and air purification technology also include one or more electrical heating components, placed in the filter channel and configured to heat the filter medium and/or air in the filter channel. Thus, the air filter has a heating function, and can heat the filter medium and the air in the filter channel according to actual working conditions and/or operations, so as to prevent moisture in the air from affecting the filtering efficiency of the filter medium. The air filter and air purification technology have the characteristics of enhancing the filtering effects and improving the service life of the filter.

Disclosed is an air filter using high density filter paper. The filter paper may include a thermally bonded non-woven fabric filter paper 10 having air permeability to filter foreign materials of passed polluted air and change the polluted air to fresh air. The non-woven fabric filter paper includes wrinkled portions 10-1 and 10-N that are folded at a predetermined interval. A thickness of the wrinkle portions 10-1 and 10-N are provided with dense layers 15 and 17 comprising a first polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fiber 20-2 that can shrink by heat and a second polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fiber 20-1 that deforms upon by heat treatment.

An axial flow air filter system is described. The system includes an axial flow filter element having a filter media. The filter media includes an inlet face and an outlet face, the inlet face spaced apart from the outlet face. The axial flow filter element includes an upper support ring adjacent to the inlet face of the filter media. The upper support ring circumscribes the filter media and supports an upper seal. The upper seal forms a seal with a housing when the filter element is received in the housing. The axial flow filter element further includes a lower support ring adjacent to the outlet face of the filter media. The lower support ring circumscribes the filter media. In some arrangements, the lower support ring does not include a seal.

The present invention relates to a V-type filter frame for receiving at least one filter media pack, said V-type filter frame being arranged to be mounted to a filter holding structure, the V-type filter frame comprising first and second side plates and a molded plastic rectangular front plate coupled to the side plates, said side plates each comprising a front edge portion and an opposite rear edge portion and the front plate having a front surface and a back surface, the back surface of the front plate comprising a first coupling portion comprising a first groove configured to receive the front edge portion of the first side plate, a second coupling portion comprising a second groove configured to receive the front edge portion of the second side plate, a trough for receiving a front edge of a filter media pack, extending between the first and the second coupling portion of the front plate, characterized in that said trough is in fluid connection with each of said first groove and said second groove when the first and second side plates are coupled to the first and second coupling portions of the front plate respectively.

Provided are an air permeable vent filter, and a headlight assembly comprising the same. The air permeable vent filter has a body in which a nanofiber web, which comprises a plurality of pores and is formed by accumulating a nanofiber electrospun from a spinning solution in which a polymer material and a solvent are mixed, is spirally wound, and the air permeable vent filter implements an air permeable filter function of allowing air to pass through from one lateral side of the body to the other lateral side and blocking liquids and solids.

An air filter including a base and a first and second frame element is disclosed. Each frame element is coupled to the base. The frame elements have an oscillating shape having a first portion relatively close to the base and a second portion relatively farther from the base. A filter element generally follows the oscillating shape of the frame elements. An air filter system is also disclosed. The air filter system can include the air filter and an air filter container. The air filter container contains the air filter and directs air through the air filter in a predetermined direction. An air filter is disclosed including a support structure and an oscillating shaped filter element attached to the support structure. The oscillating shape increases the air filter surface area for a given volume.

The invention relates to a vacuum device having a vacuum chamber and to a vacuum pump for evacuating the vacuum chamber. The vacuum device can have a plasma generator in order to be able to treat items to be treated in the vacuum chamber with a plasma. An exhaust gas particle filter is connected upstream of the vacuum pump in order to protect the vacuum pump from aggressive reagents from the vacuum chamber. The exhaust gas particle filter has a filter element having a plurality of sintered metal filter bags. The sintered metal filter bags are preferably each formed from two tapered sintered sheet metal strips. The filter element can be connected to the plasma generator as an electrode of the plasma generator. The invention further relates to the use of an exhaust gas particle filter having sintered metal filter bags for protecting a vacuum pump.

A filter system (100) having a housing (110), a fluid inlet (102) formed in a housing wall (112), a fluid outlet (108) formed in a housing wall (120), a primary filter element (50) and a secondary filter element (10). The secondary filter element (10) is arranged on a stand pipe (150) which is rigidly connected to one of the housing walls (120). The secondary filter element (10) comprises a filter medium (16) forming a body (36) having at least one longitudinal seam (18) along a longitudinal axis (L). The filter body (36) has a first edge (13) at one region (12) which is curved in an initial unwound state of the filter medium (16) and straight in a final wound state of the filter medium (16) forming the filter body (36) and a second edge (15) at the opposite region (14) of the filter body (36) with respect to the longitudinal axis (L) which is straight in an initial unwound state of the filter medium (16) and curved in a final wound state of the filter medium (16) forming the filter body (36).
