Abstract
The present disclosure is related to filter elements and more specifically to filter elements for removing dust from air. In an embodiment, an inventive filter element includes a housing having a first side and a second side, filter material in the housing, a space between the filter material and the first side of the housing for forming a suction chamber, and at least one hole in the first side, whereby the area within the circumference of the side of the filter material facing the first side of the housing is larger than the area of at least one hole.
Claims6
A replaceable filter element for a filtering device for filtering dust from air flow, the replaceable filter element comprising:
- a housing having a first side and a second side, the first side configured to take in the air flow in a first direction and the second side configured to exhaust the air flow;
- filter material arranged within said housing between the first side and the second side;
- a suction chamber
- arranged between the first side and the filter material,
- configured to slow the air flow and to generate turbulence therein, and
- comprising a bottom connecting the first side and the second side, the bottom oriented approximately perpendicular to the first side and the second side and configured to receive dust descending in a second direction that is different from the first direction;
- at least one hole in said first side;
- and
- wherein the area within the circumference of the filter material facing said first side of said housing is larger than the area of said at least one hole;
- wherein said at least one hole in said first side is delimited by a cutout forming a flap covering said at least one hole;
- and
- wherein slow air flow facilitates accumulation of dust on an incident surface of the filter material and the air turbulence facilitates spreading of dust within the suction chamber.
