Abstract
A dry filter module adapted for use with a paint spray booth having an under section inlet for conducting a flow of contaminated air and an under section outlet for conducting a flow of filtered air includes at least one movable cart formed with a housing having one or more surfaces for providing a housing inlet and a housing outlet, at least one filter media element arranged within the housing, and at least one seal provided around the one or more surfaces for sealing between the housing inlet and the under section inlet and also between the housing outlet and the under section outlet. The movable cart is operated to move for making contact with the at least one seal between the housing and the spray booth such that the housing of the movable cart and the spray booth are connected and sealed to each other.

A dry filter module adapted for use with a paint spray booth having an under section inlet for conducting a flow of contaminated air and an under section outlet for conducting a flow of filtered air, the dry filter module comprising:
- at least one movable cart formed with a housing having one or more surfaces for providing a housing inlet and a housing outlet;
- and
- at least one filter media element arranged within the housing, the at least one filter media element positioned between the housing inlet and the housing outlet;
- and
- at least one seal provided around the one or more surfaces for sealing between the housing inlet and the under section inlet, and also between the housing outlet and the under section outlet,
- wherein the movable cart is operated to move for making contact with the at least one seal between the housing and the spray booth such that the housing of the at least one movable cart and the paint spray booth are connected and sealed to each other, and
- wherein the housing includes a top surface formed with the housing inlet for receiving the contaminated air from the paint spray booth and the housing outlet for discharging the filtered air such that the contaminated air from the paint spray booth generally vertically enters into the housing and the filtered air exits generally vertically from the housing.
A dry filter module adapted for use with a paint spray booth having an under section inlet for communicating a flow of contaminated air and an under section outlet for conducting a flow of filtered air, the dry filter module comprising:
- at least one movable cart formed with a housing having a generally horizontal surface forming a housing inlet, and the at least one movable cart further forming a housing outlet;
- at least one filter media element arranged within the housing, the at least one filter media element positioned between the housing inlet and the housing outlet for filtering the contaminated air flowing through the at least one movable cart;
- at least one seal provided on the generally horizontal surface for sealing between the housing inlet and the under section inlet, and also between the housing outlet and the under section outlet;
- and
- the dry filter module operable in two positions, a loaded position wherein the at least one movable cart is arranged in an under section before the sealing and an operating position wherein the dry filter module is in a sealing contact between the at least one movable cart and the paint spray booth, and
- wherein the housing includes a top surface selectively connected to the paint spray booth and formed with the housing inlet receiving the contaminated air from the paint spray booth, and a bottom surface selectively connected to an exhaust duct of the paint spray booth and formed with the housing outlet discharging the filtered air.
