Abstract
A fluid filter that includes a thermoelectric cooler with a cold side and a hot side, an impingement enclosure, disposed against the cold side that includes an inlet adapted to direct a fluid to flow towards the cold side at a first perpendicular angle, and an outlet adapted to direct the fluid to flow away the cold side at a second perpendicular angle, an outlet temperature sensor disposed at the outlet, and a controller operatively connected to the thermoelectric cooler, where the controller is configured to send a command to the thermoelectric cooler to change the power state of the thermoelectric cooler.
Claims20
A fluid filter, comprising:
- a thermoelectric cooler, comprising:
- a cold side;
- and
- a hot side;
- and
- an impingement enclosure, comprising:
- a backplate, disposed against the cold side;
- an inlet directing an influx of a fluid, comprising gas and aerosols, to flow towards the backplate at a perpendicular angle, wherein the aerosols coalesce into coalesced aerosols in the impingement enclosure;
- and
- an outlet directing an efflux of the gas and the coalesced aerosols to flow out of the impingement enclosure, wherein the gas and the coalesced aerosols exit from the impingement enclosure via the outlet.

- an outlet temperature sensor disposed at the outlet;
- and
- a controller operatively connected to the thermoelectric cooler, wherein the controller is configured to:
- obtain an outlet temperature from the outlet temperature sensor;
- make a determination about a power state of the thermoelectric cooler based on the outlet temperature;
- and
- send a command to the thermoelectric cooler to change the power state of the thermoelectric cooler.
