Z-Filter Media With Reverse-Flow Cleaning Systems And Methods
Timothy D. Sporre - Robbinsdale MN, US Jim C. Rothman - Mendota Heights MN, US Michael W. Handley - Farmington MN, US Thomas D. Raether - St. Louis Park MN, US
A method for cleaning a filter having Z-media includes providing a filter having Z-media and cleaning the media construction by directing a pulse of compressed gas into the media construction through the downstream flow face. Filter elements useable with such methods include elements made of Z-media. An example system utilizing the method includes a gas turbine air intake system.

A filter element includes a single seamless media pack having first and second opposite ends and first and second lateral sides extending between the first and second ends. The media pack also has pleats extending between the first and second ends and a first cross-section defined between the first and second lateral sides. The first cross-section having at least one outward projection that defines an internal radius of at least inch wherein a plurality of pleats of the media pack are fanned around the internal radius. A first end cap is secured to the first end of the media pack while a second end cap secured to the second end of the media pack. Additionally, a frame member is secured to the first end cap, second end cap, the first lateral side, and the second lateral side. A pre-filter is usable with described filter arrangements.

International Classification:
B01D046/04
US Classification:
095280000, 055302000
Abstract:
A device and method for cleaning a filter element. The device including a valve interconnected to a blowpipe. A nozzle is positioned at an end of the blowpipe and to direct a pulse of compressed gas into the filter element. The nozzle includes a body and a diffuser arrangement configured to direct multiple jest of the compressed gas into the filter element. The valve is arranged to provide access to each of the valve components from one side of a compressed air manifold.

International Classification:
B01D 53/22
US Classification:
95 45, 96 11, 96 9
Abstract:
The filter of the invention is a cartridge filter comprising a structure that can maintain a filter medium in an air stream to filter particulates to protect a gas turbine power system. The filter combines a mechanically adequate filter structure and an effective filter medium for to obtain a useful system.
