Abstract
An apparatus for separating and filtering pollutants from a fluid flow by using inertia to separate a proportion of the pollutants from the fluid flow passing through a constricted passage between a pair of filter elements to an outlet between the filter elements. The constricted passage causes the major portion of the fluid flow to be diverted to pass through the filter elements to the outlet in a direction whereby the filtered fluid flow exits into the outlet of the constricted passage. The apparatus also includes a device to periodically clean the filter elements whilst in position in the apparatus.
Claims16
An apparatus for separating and filtering pollutants from a fluid flow comprising a chamber having a central vertical inlet in an upper surface of the chamber, a horizontal outlet opening into a vertical wall of the chamber, and a filter cartridge mounted within the chamber, the filter cartridge comprising a cuboid shaped cartridge having a spaced pair of filtering elements, and means to direct air fluid flow through said filtering elements in a direction toward each other to said outlet positioned between said filtering elements.
An apparatus for separating and filtering pollutants from a fluid flow comprising a chamber having a central vertical inlet in an upper surface of the chamber, a horizontal outlet opening into a vertical wall of the chamber, and a filter cartridge mounted within the chamber, the filter cartridge being a cuboid shaped cartridge having a spaced pair of filtering elements, the inlet opening to a constricted passage between the pair of filtering elements, the major portions of the pollutants passing between the filtering elements to said outlet, the constricted passage diverting the major portion of the fluid flow to pass through the filter elements to said outlet.
The apparatus of claim 5, wherein said cleaning unit comprises at least one resilient element engaging the pleats, and means for moving the resilient element across the filtering elements.
