A siloxane mitigation system for a machine system having an internal combustion engine includes a siloxane trap having a plurality of adsorbent cartridges fluidly in parallel with one another, an air precleaner fluidly connected to a trap housing inlet, and a blower structured to blow intake air to the siloxane trap to compensate for a pressure drop across the siloxane trap. A trap performance sensor of the siloxane mitigation system is structured for monitoring an exhaust pressure to indicate performance degradation of the siloxane mitigation system and activate an operator-perceptible alert.

A livestock facility air filter grid system comprising perimeter vertical and horizontal stiffener plates and interlocking horizontal and vertical field stiffener plates which provides an improved sealed assembly and eliminates the potential for direct air by-pass of the filters.

The subject matter is the assembly of a containment means with an aseptic working chamber and associated decontamination arrangement. The working chamber is delimited at the bottom by a base, and above the working chamber is a circulating air zone, in which a circulating air filter with a circulating air fan is arranged. The circulating air zone and the working chamber are delimited towards the outside by a housing. At least a first returning air channel leads from the working chamber into the circulating air zone. A returning air filter is fluidically connected to the returning air channel, specifically is arranged facing the circulating air zone. The returning air filter can be arranged at the opening of the returning air channel into the circulating air zone or arranged in the circulating air channel, set back from the opening. The returning air filter and the circulating air filter are in the form of a plate filter or an exchangeable filter cartridge or a replaceable filter insert. A single returning air filter or a series of interacting returning air filters and a single circulating air filter or a series of interacting circulating air filters can be installed. Containment means in which larger volumes of air are to be processed also have a second returning air channel at or in which a returning air filter is also installed.

An indoor unit for an air-conditioning apparatus includes a cartridge provided to an air inlet so as to be freely mountable and dismountable. The cartridge accommodates a filter so as to be freely movable in a right-and-left direction and has an opening port formed in one end portion in the right-and-left direction. A dust box is provided on a side of the end portion of the cartridge. The dust box includes a cleaning mechanism configured to clean the filter and a dust collecting portion configured to collect dust.

A painting facility 1 includes a painting chamber 3 in which a spray painting operation is effected on a painting object W, an air supplying chamber 2 configured to supply air into the painting chamber 3 via an air supplying section 4a, 4b provided in a ceiling portion 30 of the painting chamber 3, and an air discharging chamber 5 configured to suction air and uncoated paint mist present in the painting chamber 3 via a floor discharging section of the painting chamber 3, two air supplying sections 4a, 4b are disposed in left-right symmetry relative to a position of the painting object W in a width direction of the painting chamber 3 as the center therebetween. Air is released in a radial form from an outlet portion 40 of each one of the two air supplying sections 4a, 4b.

Filter media are described. In particular, a filter media includes an intake side, an exhaust side, and a plurality of fibers distributed throughout the filter media. The fibers have a plurality of deniers, and fibers disposed proximate the intake side have a first denier and fibers disposed proximate the exhaust side have a second denier. The first denier is larger than the second denier.
