Synthetic Injected Hydrophilic Filter System

摘要

A filter system and method of making same is disclosed. The system includes one or more of filter units, each having a plurality of spaced apart hydrophilic filter tubes coated with an attractant that entrains particulates without the need for woven filter material. The filter tubes may have a plurality of apertures therethrough to increase the surface area of the filter tubes. The filter units may be placed adjacent to each other but with their filter tubes laterally offset to increase the likelihood that particles will engage at least one coated tube.

主权项

1. A filter system for removing particulates from a flow of an air exhaust system comprising:
a first filter unit comprising a first plurality of filter tubes having a first longitudinal axis, wherein the filter tubes of the first plurality of filter tubes are spaced to create one or more gaps between the filter tubes of the first plurality of filter tubes; wherein at least one of the filter tubes of the first plurality of filter tubes is formed of a hydrophilic material capable of retaining a liquid attractant; and wherein the first plurality of filter tubes is covered at least in part by an attractant formulated to entrain particulates.
