Abstract
Embodiments for a filter and method for fabricating the same are provide herein. In one embodiment, a filter is provided that includes a first end cap, a second end cap, at least a first filtration media element and at least a first brace. The first end cap has an air flow aperture formed therethrough. The first and second end caps define a central axis. The first filtration media element is coupled to the first and second end caps and has an orientation curved around the central axis. The brace separates a first closed edge of the filtration media element from a second closed edge of the filtration media element.

A method for fabricating an air filter, the method comprising:
- non-concentrically and non-axially arranging open edges of at least a first filtration media element to form a tubular sleeve of filtration media, wherein adjacent closed edges of the first filtration media element are separated by a first brace, wherein the first brace comprises:
- an interior wall facing a central axis;
- an exterior wall facing away from the interior wall;
- and
- side walls extending between the interior wall and the exterior wall, wherein a first closed edge of the first filtration media element is sealed to one of the side walls.
