Definitions
- the invention relates to a gas filter element formed by two juxtaposed layers, which is particularly suited to removing particles entrained in a gas stream.
- GB 917669 teaches a gas filter which comprised two layers of material which are each folded in a zig-zag manner. At alternate turning points of the zig-zags of each layer, the two layers are joined. As one layer is of greater area than the other layer, chambers are formed between the layers. Openings are provided through each of the layers so that gas passing through the filter is provided with a distorted flow and suspended particles removed.
- the present invention seeks to provide a filter element that is cheaper to manufacture and improves upon the filtration properties of the known filters.
- a gas filter element formed by two juxtaposed layers, each layer comprising a plurality of zones, each defined by a first pair of fold lines, each zone including openings and intermediate fold lines substantially parallel with the said first pair, wherein the two layers are each deformed along said fold lines and joined together along contiguous fold lines thereby forming chambers between the layers, characterized in that the two layers are substantially identical in shape and size.
- the filter element provided by the present invention is far simpler to manufacture, since it is necessary to manufacture only one design of layer.
- the filter element is subject to low degrees of clogging of the element. Also, this filter element provides a high degree of filtration.
- the cross-section through the chambers is substantially a parallelogram.
- the layers comprise a substantially rigid material.
- the material is paper, treated or untreated.
- the material may be a plastics material.
- Fig. 1 shows cross-section through a folded layer of a first embodiment of the filter element according to the invention
- Fig. 2 shows a view along the line A-A of Fig. 1 ;
- Fig. 3 shows a front view of a layer from B in Fig. 1 ;
- Fig. 4 shows part of a filter element according to the first embodiment of the invention.
- Figures 1 to 3 show a layer 15 of rigid material.
- the layer 15 is divided into zones by pairs of parallel fold lines 1 and 2. Each zone is sub ⁇ divided into two pairs of wall elements 10 and 11 by parallel fold lines 1 , 2, 3.
- Each of the wall elements 10 extends between a fold line 2 and a fold line 3.
- Each of the wall elements 1 1 extends between a fold line 1 and a fold line 3.
- Each wall element 11 contains a plurality of openings 4.
- the layer 15 is folded in a zig-zag manner about each fold line 1 and 2, forming a concertina-shaped layer 15.
- the layer is also folded about fold lines 3.
- two substantially identical layers 15 are joined together along each fold line 2 to the opposite fold line 1.
- the folding of the two layers 15 is in opposite directions with regard to the . axis. This forms chambers 5 bounded by a wall element 10 and a wall element 11 of each of the two layers 15.
- the unpurified air stream enters a chamber 5 of the filter element through the openings 4 of one layer 15. Subsequently, the air stream is deflected by wall elements 10, 11 . The air stream exits, substantially purified, through the openings 4 of the other layer 15.
- the filter element of this invention can be easily envisaged having more or less individual wall elements defining a chamber. It is essential that a high degree of symmetry be maintained so that the manufacturing process is kept cost efficient.
- fold means a deformation
- fold line means a line about which a material is deformed.
- each element may be extruded or moulded. The fold lines would then relate to an area about which the element is deformed.
- openings means “perforations”.
