Abstract
A filter section for use in a high velocity air handling assembly includes a transverse grid formed by intersecting metallic structural members defining openings accommodating the open end of a plurality of sock filters, with sealing means securing the grid about marginal portions across the assembly housing so that the grid serves as lateral bracing for the housing and as a support for the sock filters, and support means carried by the grid for the sock filters either in the form of elongated wire mesh housings or elongated rectangular open ended boxes.
Claims3
In a high velocity air handling assembly as for conditioning air in industrial plants, a filter and sound attenuator section comprising:
- a plurality of elongated longitudinally disposed sock filters having an open base on one end tapering inwardly therefrom toward and being closed on the other end;
- a plurality of elongated open ended boxes of substantially uniform cross-section constructed of sound absorbing material, each of said boxes containing one of said sock filters therein, said boxes extending substantially along the entire length of said sock filters;
- and support means carrying said boxes in longitudinal alignment with said filters in said air handling assembly, means holding the open end of said filters adjacent an open end of said boxes whereby said boxes straighten the air flow path through said air handling assembly and attenuate the sound passing therethrough.
