<p>A fluid filter apparatus comprises a generally cylindrical vessel (18) having a plurality of filter cartridges (24) of generally triangularly shaped cross-section disposed therein. Each triangular filter cartridge has one of its substantially flat sides (26) slightly spaced apart from and in direct facing relationship with the inner surface (22) of the vessel, whereby a greater number of filter cartridges can be compactly disposed within said vessel than is possible if the cartridges are of conventional circular cross-section. Thus the filtration capacity of the apparatus is increased.</p> |
