Date Aug. 7, 1997A filter assembly for removing soot from gas from an engine includes a housing and a filter disposed in the housing. The housing includes a housing body and a cover disposed on the housing body. The housing body has an inlet connection to a gas line of an engine and an outlet. The cover is removable from the housing body without breaking fluid lines to the inlet or the outlet. In one embodiment, a soot filter for removing soot particles from bleed gas from a engine includes a sintered fiber metal medium having a voids volume of about 50% to about 95% and including metal fibers having a diameter about 20 microns to about 100 microns and a nominal length of at least about 100 microns, the sintered fiber metal medium having an upstream surface communicating with bleed gas containing soot particles, a downstream surface communicating with filtered bleed gas, and a bore extending through the sintered fiber metal medium between the upstream surface and the downstream surface.</p> |
