Removably mounted filter media kit and method of mounting the same

摘要

A filter media kit assembly and method of mounting and replacing the spent filter media wherein a filter media component and independent retaining and supporting members are used cooperatively to removably mount the filter media within a respective one of a plurality of rigid frames comprising a multiple array of filters forming a grid arrangement. A bag-type filter, having a common central opening and at least two pocket-like areas, is removably mounted within the opening of each frame by entrapping an outer edge portion of the filter media in a press-fit relationship against the inner edges of the sides of the rigid frame forming a central opening. A support rod is provided for insertion across the opening of the frame prior to mounting of the multiple pocket bag filter in the frame and to facilitate and supplement supporting the bag filter in the frame against the air flow applied to the filter grid array during normal operation.
