DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
(10) The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to
(11) As shown in
(12) The filter housing 1 has a filtering space S, and an air flow passage, as indicated by an arrow in
(13) The plurality of filter elements 2, each having a filtering surface 21, are detachably disposed in the filtering space S in a manner that the filtering surface 21 is parallel to the upper surface and the bottom surface of the filter housing 1. Specifically, in this embodiment, the air flow passage is formed by the upper surface, the bottom surface and the filtering space S of the filter housing 1, and by the way that the filtering surface 21 is parallel to the upper surface and the bottom surface of the filter housing, the plurality of filter elements 2 are detachably disposed at these two surfaces of the filter housing 1, so that the air flow flowing in the air flow passage can be filtered by the plurality of filter elements 2.
(14) The plurality of receiving supporting elements 3 allocate on an inner wall 11 of the filter housing 1 and are spaced apart from each other with a designated distance in an upper and down direction l so as to correspondingly receive and support the plurality of filter elements 2. Specifically, in this embodiment, the plurality of receiving supporting elements 3 allocate on a left wall 11 and a right wall 11 of the filter housing 1, which are connected with the upper surface and the bottom surface. The plurality of receiving supporting elements 3 protrude toward the filtering space S in a direction m parallel to the upper surface and the bottom surface of the filter housing 1. The plurality of filter elements 2 sequentially slide to be arranged at the plurality of receiving supporting elements 3 so as to be fastened to the filter housing 1.
(15) As shown in
(16)
(17) where a denotes the maximum value of the gap, ΔP denotes a pressure difference between two sides of the filtering surface 21 in a vertical direction (the direction l), ρ denotes air density, and v.sub.1 denotes a wind speed of intake air flow from the filtering surface 21.
(18) The air density is a known value (1.204 kg/m.sup.3 under normal circumstances) and the pressure difference ΔP and the wind speed v.sub.1 are adjustable and can also be fixed parameter values because the pressure difference ΔP between the two sides of the filtering surface 21 in the vertical direction (the direction l) and the wind speed v.sub.1 of intake air flow from the filtering surface 21 are controlled by the fan, and therefore the gas leakage can be ensured less than 10% as long as the gap between the filter element 2 and the inner wall 11 of the filter housing 1 is not more than a. In other words, a glue-free airtight filtering equipment 100 can be properly designed by mainly confirming operating conditions (environmental parameters of the pressure difference, the wind speed, and so on) of the fan for the glue-free airtight filtering equipment 100. The maximum value of the gap for the designed glue-free airtight filtering equipment 100 can be obtained by the mathematical formula (1) when the parameter of the fan used in the environment is a fixed value and the area or the length and width of the filtering surface 21 required is also a fixed value. Conversely, the necessary environmental parameters of the fan can also be derived via the mathematical formula (1) when the glue-free airtight filtering equipment 100 has been manufactured and the length and width of the filtering surface 21 and the gap are known fixed values.
(19) Furthermore, in this embodiment, the relationship of the filtering surface 21 and the gap satisfies the following mathematical formula (2):
(20)
(21) In the mathematical formula (2), the leakage is less than 10% if the gap is less than a.
(22) Furthermore, in this embodiment, the relationship of the filtering surface 21 and the gap satisfies the following mathematical formula (3):

(32) In one example, the length and the width of the filter element 2 are 0.8 m and 0.485 m respectively, the wind speed of intake air flow is 0.7 m/s, the pressure difference between two sides of the filtering surface 21 in the vertical direction is 250 Pa, the gap is 0.5 mm, and the leakage being about 8.8% can be obtained when substituting these values into the mathematical formula (2).
(33) In another example, a gap between the inner wall 11 and the filtering surface 21 in length is different from a gap between the inner wall 11 and the filtering surface 21 in width, and a relationship of the filtering surface and the gaps satisfies the following mathematical formula (1a):
(34)
wherein a.sub.x denotes the maximum value of the gap between the inner wall 11 and the filtering surface 21 in length and a.sub.y denotes the maximum value of the gap between the inner wall 11 and the filtering surface 21 in width.
(35) Next, the derivation of the aforementioned respective relationships will be further explained.

P.sub.1+ρgh.sub.1+1/2ρv.sub.1.sup.2=P.sub.2+ρgh.sub.2+1/2ρv.sub.2.sup.2 (6)
(37) Since a difference between h.sub.1 and h.sub.2 is extremely small to be negligible, the mathematical formula (6) can be rewritten as the following mathematical formula (7):
P.sub.1−P.sub.2=ΔP=1/2ρ(v.sub.2.sup.2−v.sub.1.sup.2) (7)

(40) Based on the mathematical formula (9), the mathematical formula (7) is rewritten as the following mathematical formula (10).
(41)
(42) The following mathematical formula (11) can be derived via transposition.
(43)
