Abstract

A mist collector cartridge for collecting airborne liquids, and more particularly, a filter media having vertically oriented interconnected pleats treated with a low surface energy material to facilitate agglomeration and drainage of liquid which accumulates on the inner and outer surface of the filter media.

Claims

[received by the International Bureau on 8 February 1995 (08.02.95); original claims 3, 10-12, 14, 18 and 19 cancelled; original claim 2 unchanged; original claims 23 and 27 unchanged but renumbered as claims 16 and 20; remaining claims amended; claims renumbered 1-25; new claims 26 and 27 added (6 pages)]
1. A filter system for collecting an aerosol mist, comprising: a filter housing having an air inlet and an 5 exhaust port; a cylindrical filter cartridge mounted in said housing having an open top, the filter cartridge including inner and outer sidewalls and defining an inner cylindrical surface along the inner sidewall 0 communicating with said open top, filter media with spaced vertical pleats between said inner and outer sidewalls, said open top being connected to said exhaust port; blower apparatus for drawing air carrying the 5 aerosol mist from an outside atmosphere into the housing through the air inlet, outer sidewall, filter media, and inner sidewall and for exhausting the air through the exhaust port; pleat spacers for maintaining separation 0 between said vertical pleats; and the filter media being treated with a low surface energy coating material so that when air drawn into the housing carrying the aerosol mist flows through the treated filter media, the aerosol mist contacts the 5 treated filter media, agglomerates, and drains along the vertical pleats.
2. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the filter media comprises a low surface energy synthetic fiber 0 matrix.
3. The apparatus of claim 2 wherein the low surface energy coating material comprises an aliphatic fluorocarbon. 5
4. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the pleat spacers are integrally formed in the filter media.
27
5. The apparatus of claim 1 further comprising a pre-filter wrap extending across the surface of the filter media to promote formation of large droplets of the aerosol mist.
6. A filter cartridge system for collecting an aerosol mist, comprising: a housing having an air inlet, an exhaust port, and an air outlet in communication with the exhaust port; a cylindrical cartridge within said housing having a top end cap with an opening and a bottom end cap, the cartridge including inner and outer sidewalls extending the longitudinal length of the cartridge and defining an inner cylindrical surface along the inner sidewall communicating with said opening; filter media between said inner and outer sidewalls having separated vertical pleats; means within said housing for drawing air containing the aerosol mist from an outer atmosphere through said air inlet, said inner and outer sidewalls, and said filter media and for exhausting the air; an aliphatic fluorocarbon material on the filter media for agglomerating the aerosol mist to facilitate draining the liquid downward along the vertical pleats; and a pre-filter wrap surrounding the outer sidewall to promote said agglomeration of the aerosol mist.
7. The apparatus of claim 6 wherein the filter media includes pleat spacing means for maintaining the separation between the vertical pleats.
8. The apparatus of claim 6 wherein the filter media includes pleat spacing means arranged for preventing the pleats from collapsing due to resistance in air flow caused by collected liquids.
9. The apparatus of claim 7 wherein the pleat spacing means are integrally formed in the filter media.
10. The apparatus of claim 6 wherein the pre- filter wrap comprises a foamed urethane material.
11. The apparatus of claim 6 wherein the pre- filter wrap comprises a fiberglass wool material.
12. The apparatus of claim 6 wherein the pre- filter wrap comprises a high loft air-laid material.
13. A filter cartridge system for collecting an aerosol mist, comprising: a filter housing having an air inlet and an air outlet; filter support members within said housing including at least one perforated media supporting inner sidewall being cylindrically shaped and defining a hollow interior connected to said air outlet; filter media surrounding said inner sidewall having separated vertical pleats; pleat spacers for preventing said vertical pleats from collapsing; a blower for drawing air carrying the aerosol mist from an outside atmosphere into said housing through said air inlet, said filter media and said inner sidewall, and for exhausting the air through said air outlet; an aliphatic fluorocarbon material on said filter media for agglomerating the aerosol mist to facilitate draining the aerosol mist downwardly along said vertical pleats; and
29 a hopper under said filter media for collecting drained agglomerations of the aerosol mist.
14. The apparatus of claim 13 further including a pre-filter wrap extending across an air inlet surface of the filter media to cause the formation of large droplets of the aerosol mist.
15. The apparatus of claim 13 wherein the end cap comprises a bottom end cap having collection means for collecting liquid which drains from the vertical pleats.
16. A method for separating and collecting airborne liquids using a filtration system, comprising the steps of : a) providing a filter media having vertical pleats with a separation therebetween and pleat spacing means for maintaining the separation between the vertical pleats, the filter media having an air inlet surface and an air outlet surface; b) treating the filter media with filter treatment means for agglomerating liquids which contact the media to promote drainage of the liquid downward along the vertical pleats; c) forcing air containing the liquid from the air inlet surface of the filter media to the air outlet surface so that liquid is collected on the filter media; and d) collecting liquid which drains from the vertical pleats.
17. The method of claim 16 wherein the filter treatment means comprises a low surface energy coating material.
30
18. The method of claim 17 wherein the low surface energy coating material comprises an aliphatic fluorocarbon.
19. The method of claim 16 wherein the pleat spacing means are integrally formed in the filter media.
20. A method for constructing a filter cartridge for collecting airborne liquids, comprising the steps of: a) treating filter paper stock with a low surface energy material; b) corrugating the filter paper stock; c) pleating the filter paper stock to form a filter cartridge; and d) inserting the filter cartridge into a filter support member.
21. The method of claim 20 wherein the step of pleating the filter paper stock includes forming spacing means integrally in the filter media.
22. The method of claim 20 wherein the low surface energy material comprises an aliphatic fluorocarbon.
23. The method of claim 20 further including the step of removing the excess low surface energy material .
24. The method of claim 20 further including the step of drying the filter paper stock.
25. The method of claim 20 wherein the step of treating the filter paper stock includes dipping the filter paper stock in a low surface energy material.
31
26. Mist collector apparatus comprising: a filter housing having an airborne aerosol mist inlet and an air outlet; a filter in said housing with media having spaced pleats oriented vertically; said media being treated with an aliphatic fluorocarbon material so that an aerosol mist contacting a treated surface of the media agglomerates and drains downwardly along the pleats; and means for drawing air containing the aerosol mist from an outside atmosphere into the housing through the inlet and the treated media, and for exhausting filtered air through the outlet, wherein when the air containing the aerosol mist flows through the treated media, the aerosol mist is separated from the air.
27. A cylindrical filter cartridge for collecting airborne liquids constructed and arranged for air to flow from exterior to interior thereof, comprising: a cylindrical perforated liner defining a hollow interior; filter media surrounding said perforated liner and being supported by said perforated liner, said filter media having pleats separated by spacers for preventing the pleats from collapsing; and said filter media being treated with a low surface energy coating material to promote agglomeration and drainage of the airborne liquids.
