Header frame design for filter element

摘要

A filtration unit and a method of installing a filtration unit are provided. The rectangular filtration unit includes a filter element for filtering fluid. The frame includes a first portion and a second portion. The frame supports the filter element and the frame defines an opening. A first dimension of the filtration unit measured between the exterior of the first portion and the opening is greater than a second dimension of the filtration unit measured between the exterior of the second portion and the opening. In a further example, the filtration unit is mounted in a top section and a bottom section of a holding frame.
