Abstract

A filter for industrial coating filtration systems that has a housing made up of a peripheral wall extending around a preferably rigid and pleated support backing with filtration media, which peripheral wall may be tapered. The housing is preferably made of a suitably rigid material. The support backing has openings so that gas can flow through without substantial resistance. Filtration media is mounted to or adjacent the support backing, end caps are attached to the ends of the support backing to maintain the pleated configuration, and the assembly is inserted into the housing. Tabs may extend from the support backing into slots in the end caps, and filtration material may be attached to the end caps to reduce or avoid unfiltered air passing through. Additional filtration material may be mounted to the opposite end cap sides to filter air passing between the end caps and the housing.

Abstract

A filter for removing gaseous components from a gas stream. The filter includes a frame with outer members and support members mounted thereto. The filter includes a prefilter layer disposed upstream in the frame and a reactive layer disposed in the frame downstream from the prefilter layer. The reactive layer includes particulate that removes gaseous components from the gas stream. A containment layer is disposed in the frame downstream from the reactive layer. The frame supports the layers from the airstream flowing through the filter. This configuration reduces the quantity of reactive material required and permits significant variability in the reactive materials used on the reactive layers because the different reactive layers have little to no effect on one another.

Abstract

A filtering apparatus having a housing with lateral, upstream and downstream walls, and a top plate disposed at a significant angle to incoming overspray air to accelerate and guide the particulate-laden air. The angle of the top plate directs the air upstream and away from the filters so the larger solids impact the top plate and wall and adhere, removing paint from the air. Larger solids too massive to turn while accelerating through an opening into an entry chamber collect on the upstream sidewall and the highly filtered air flows toward filter units disposed downstream of the entry opening. Lighter solids that flow downstream are removed by the filtration media. An overhang of the angled top plate reduces flow into the filter units of collected solids.

Abstract

A collapsible HVAC filter that includes pleated filtration media having side members mounted on opposite sides of the filtration media. The filtration media collapses to reduce filter volume. Supports maintain spacing between the side members when the filtration media is expanded. The supports may extend into openings on the upstream and downstream sides of each of the side members. The collapsed filter occupies little space relative to the expanded filter, and can be expanded to form a completed filter with little effort required by the end user.

Abstract

A filtration media that may be mounted in a frame and placed in a central heating, cooling and/or ventilation system. The media has symmetrical characteristics such that, when mounted in the frame, the resulting filter may be mounted with either one major surface of the filtration media receiving the air flow or the opposite major surface receiving the air flow. Regardless of how the filter is oriented, the performance of the filter is the same due to the symmetrical characteristics of the filtration media mounted therein.

Abstract

A filter contains fluent particulate, such as carbon granules. The filter is divided into a plurality of cell chambers by walls, including an upper wall. The upper wall has a surface that faces, and is closest to, the top surface of the particles. The upper wall surface is oriented so that, as the particles settle, any gap formed between the top surface of the particles and a portion of the upper wall surface will not extend from the upstream to the downstream sides of the filter. Instead, contact is maintained between the top surface of the particles and the upper wall surface during fluid flow through the filter, and therefore any gas flowing through the frame must flow through, and through spaces around, particles. An angle between the upper wall surface and the flow direction of gas striking the filter is greater than about three degrees.

Abstract

An ozone and odor removing filter media having a filtration layer and a supporting layer. The supporting layer includes activated carbon fibers or powders, or both, incorporated within the supporting layer. The activated carbon particles can be added to the supporting layer by combining them with binder in a slurry and extending the already-formed supporting layer through the slurry. The wetted layer then extends through opposed rollers to remove all but a desired amount of slurry. Alternatively, the activated carbon particles can be added to the mixture when forming the supporting layer.

Abstract

A collapsible HVAC filter that includes a pleated filter media pack with ends that attach to ends of a planar filter frame member. The structure collapses by folding the filter frame member along score lines and compressing the pleated filter media while the media and frame member are attached. The collapsed components occupy little space relative to the expanded filter, and can be expanded to form a completed filter with little effort required by the end user. Most of the filter media is collapsed in a generally U- shaped channel formed from the folded filter frame member.
