An air cleaner includes a housing with a dirty air inlet, a clean air outlet, and an interior. A tubesheet is in the housing interior having a plurality of openings. A panel-style filter arrangement is oriented such that each one of the openings in the tubesheet is covered by the panel-style filter arrangement. A plurality of blowpipes are provided. Each blowpipe is oriented to direct a fluid pulse at a respective one of the openings in the tubesheet covered by the panel-style filter arrangement. An accumulator arrangement is oriented adjacent to the openings in the tubesheet on a downstream side of the tubesheet. The accumulator arrangement includes, for each opening in the tubesheet, a first and second plate adjacent to opposite ends of the tubesheet opening. Adjacent openings in the tubesheet share a same first or second plate. Preferably, each blowpipe is oriented to direct a fluid pulse at a respective one of the openings in the tubesheet covered by the panel-style filter arrangement at an angle that is: (i) not normal to a plane of the openings in the tubesheet; and (ii) not in line with a general direction of filtration flow through the panel-style filter arrangement. A method of pulse cleaning a panel-style filter arrangement oriented to cover openings of a tubesheet is provided. The method includes directing fluid pulses at the openings in the tubesheet and trapping at least a portion of the fluid pulses using first and second plates oriented on the clean air side of the tubesheet and adjacent to opposite ends of each of the openings in the tubesheet. Adjacent openings in the tubesheet share a same first or second plate. Preferably, the step of directing includes directing fluid pulses at the openings in the tube sheet at an angle that is: (i) not normal to a plane of the opening of the tubesheet; and (ii) not in line with a general direction of filtration flow through the panel-style filter arrangement.
