Abstract
The present teachings provide for a housing for a panel filter, the housing including a main body, a plurality of first vanes, and a plurality of second vanes. The main body can define a chamber and a central aperture. The central aperture can extend through the main body and can be in fluid communication with the chamber. The plurality of first vanes can be disposed within the chamber and circumferentially spaced about the central aperture. Each first vane can extend radially outward from the central aperture a first distance. The plurality of second vanes can be disposed within the chamber and can be circumferentially spaced about the central aperture. Each second vane can extend radially outward from the central aperture a second distance that is less than the first distance.
