A gas filtering device includes an element and a case. The element includes a filter that filters a gas and a frame that holds a periphery of the filter. The case accommodates the element. The case includes a first member and a second member that are coupled to each other with the element interposed therebetween. The first member includes a frame holder that holds a periphery of the frame when the first member is coupled to the second member, and a temporary holder that performs temporary holding of the frame so that a part of the frame is separated from the frame holder and the frame is curved when the first member is not coupled to the second member. The second member includes a temporary-holding canceller that cancels the temporary holding of the frame by the temporary holder when the second member is being coupled to the first member.

An air filter subassembly includes a filter element with a pre-cleaner tube member that is snapped onto the filter element.

Vehicle Engine Air Intake System and Method (to be accompanied by FIGS. 1 and 3) In a motor vehicle (12), an air filter housing (14) is at least partially defined by a cross-member (28) forming part of a structural front end module of the vehicle body. The cross-member (28) defines a recess (44) for receiving an air filter (90) and at least one air inlet aperture opening into the recess. An air filter enclosure assembly is mounted to the cross-member over an open face of the recess. The air filter enclosure assembly may include an air filter enclosure (42) and an air filter (90).

A tubular filter arrangement (1000) comprising a tubular filter element (100) and a tubular air pulse distributor (300) is provided. The filter element comprises a tubular pleated filter media (106) having an initially circular cross section, and a cage structure (120) and which along an exterior envelope surface thereof is arranged to support the pleated filter media. The exterior envelope surface of the cage structure, defines a first and a second set of two opposing wall portions (123, 124). In a condition when the pleated filter media is arranged to encircle the exterior envelope surface of the cage structure, an inner wall (107) of the pleated filter media is elastically deformed to conform to the exterior envelope surface of the cage structure (120). The tubular air pulse distributor comprises a locking member (303) configured to allow the tubular air pulse distributor to lockingly engage the tubular filter element.

The filter unit includes a filter section having a first filter and a second filter being of a pleated shape, and a frame having a pair of first frames and a pair of second frames having an adhesive layer. The filter unit is manufactured by stacking the first filter on the second filter, arranging a first support member opposite to the first frame with respect to a first fixed portion, arranging a second support member for supporting the second fixed portion opposite to the first frame with respect to the second fixed portion, fixing the first frame to the first fixed portion and the second fixed portion, and fixing the first frame to the second frame.

A filter cartridge has a filter medium that is formed in such a way that it surrounds a central through-passage, wherein the central through-passage has a first opening and ends at a cartridge base, and wherein the filter medium extends between the first opening and the cartridge base and thereby forms an elongated filter body, which may influence the average ascent speed of air and bring about an optimum filtration operation, wherein the filter medium is rectangular or square-shaped at one end of the filter cartridge and is rounded at the other end.

An electrical apparatus for breaking an electric current includes an electrical arc extinguishing chamber, for extinguishing an electrical arc formed on the separation of electric contacts, provided with an extinguishing gas exhaust orifice and an extinguishing gas filtration system, placed at the output of the exhaust orifice and including a filter and a gas diffusor. The gas diffuser includes, superposed between them, a central layer and two outer layers arranged on either side of the central layer. The central layer is provided with first through holes. Each outer layer is provided with second through holes. The first holes are misaligned relative to the second holes so that each of the second holes emerges on a solid portion of the central layer without any first hole.

A filter assembly for filtering a flow of incoming air entering a pressurized breathing gas system includes a filter housing and a filter media. The filter media includes a filtering section and a non-filtering section. The filter housing is structured to be inserted within a pressure generating device used in the pressurized breathing gas system. The filtering section is disposed within the filter housing and is structured to filter contaminant matter from the flow of incoming air. The non-filtering section is disposed outside of the housing and is structured to be separated from the filtering section so as to not make contact with the flow of incoming air. The filtering section and the non-filtering section are structured to be visually compared to one another such that a contaminant matter saturation level of the filter media can be determined.

The present invention discloses a rectangular shaped filter and coalescer elements and a vessel that houses a plurality of such rectangular shaped elements. Greater filtration or separation efficiency is provided due to increased number and alignment of rectangular shaped filter elements in the vessel. The rectangular shaped filter elements are also easy to replace.

A replaceable air filter element has a multilayer filter medium panel configured for mounting on a reusable exoskeleton support frame. The exoskeleton support frame is installable on a flow face of the filter medium panel and is provided with U-shaped locking members configured to detachably engage with and mount the filter medium panel. The exoskeleton support frame is configured to be reused such that only the filter medium panel is replaced, thereby reducing the environmental waste and making for a “green” eco-friendly air filter element.
