Filtering apparatus for separating solid particles from gases

摘要

A filtering apparatus for separating solid particles from gases includes an inlet end-wall member, an outlet end-wall member, and a filter unit disposed therebetween. A filter element is disposed within the filter unit in surrounding relationship with a power unit for moving gas through the filter element. The filter unit includes a filter enclosure extending between the end-wall members and releasably connected therewith. The filter enclosure has open ends and sides defined by an inner wall and an outer wall, the inner and outer walls together defining a filter compartment for the filter element. The inner wall also defines an interior compartment for the power means and the outer wall forms a casing detachably connected to the end wall members. The filter compartment communicates through one of its open ends with the inlet end wall member and communicates through the other of its open ends and through the interior compartment with the outlet end wall member.
