An exhaust aftertreatment device includes a mixing arrangement including a divider baffle arrangement and a restrictor arrangement. The divider baffle arrangement defines a first flow path that passes through turbulence generating members (e.g., louvers, perforations, etc.). The divider baffle also defines a second flow path that bypasses the turbulence generating members to mitigate back pressure. The first and second flow paths can be offset from center planes of the device to assist in generating turbulence. The turbulence generating members are on a dosing conduit directing reactant flow to the first aperture.

The technology disclosed herein relates to, in part, a filter assembly. Filter media is arranged about a central media opening, where the filter media has a first end and a second end. The central media opening extends in an axial direction from the first end towards the second end. An endcap is coupled to the first end of the filter media. The endcap defines an opening in fluid communication with the central media opening, an inner surface abutting and surrounding the endcap opening, and a perimetric sealing surface about the endcap. A first portion of the perimetric sealing surface projects inwardly towards the endcap opening and a second portion of the perimetric sealing surface projects outwardly from the endcap opening. The first portion and the second portion are in axial alignment, and the perimetric sealing surface forms an oblong loop in a first cross-section orthogonal to the axial direction.

Embodiments herein relate to monitoring systems that can learn patterns of filtration system operation and then use the learned patterns to monitor ongoing filtration system operation/performance. In a first aspect, a monitoring system for an air filtration system is included having a control circuit, and a pressure sensor, wherein the pressure sensor is in electronic communication with the control circuit. The monitoring system can be configured to store data reflecting signals of the pressure sensor, evaluate the stored data representing a first time period to derive a valve operating pattern, and compare data from the pressure sensor obtained after the first time period against the derived valve operating pattern to identify an abnormal valve event.

A filter cartridge includes a threaded sleeve having a seal holder recess and seal member. The filter cartridge is for removably threading onto a filter head that includes threads for connection to the filter cartridge by way of the threaded sleeve. The filter head includes a ramp that engages the seal member to form a seal. The force needed to make the seal is a torque of less than 10 N-m.

A filter element comprising a media pack and a seal, the seal being directly or indirectly connected to the media pack in a sealing manner, the filter element comprising a longitudinal axis, wherein the seal extends along a closed loop trajectory; and wherein the seal defines a predetermined sealing direction with respect to the longitudinal axis along the closed loop trajectory; wherein the predetermined sealing direction is not constant along the loop trajectory and wherein said filter element comprises a first seal portion along the closed loop trajectory wherein the predetermined sealing direction is radially inward towards the longitudinal axis and a second seal portion along the loop trajectory wherein the predetermined sealing direction is axial; and a filter assembly comprising the filter element.

This disclosure describes a filter medium that minimizes the adverse effects of variations in flow rate on filter medium efficiency without a corresponding increase in pressure drop. The filter medium includes a support layer, a continuous fine fiber layer, and an efficiency layer. The continuous fine fiber layer includes a continuous fine fiber that has a diameter of up to 10 micrometers and is located downstream of the efficiency layer.

The air filter systems described herein include one or more pulse collectors and pulse generators aligned along pulse axes. The pulse generators and filter elements may be arranged along a pulse distance as measured from a pulse outlet to a filter element opening. The pulse collectors and the filter elements may have openings with a relationship between them within parameters described herein. The pulse collectors may have a relationship between their hydraulic diameter and their length within parameters described herein. The pulse collectors may include a filter section and a pulse section that meet at a junction along a length of the pulse collector. The pulse sections may have a hydraulic diameter that increases when moving from the junction to the tube sheet opening of the pulse section. The filter sections may have a hydraulic diameter that remains constant when moving from the junction to the filter end opening of the filter section. Filter elements/cartridges used in the air filter systems may have filter media shaped or formed into ovate cross-sections

A filter system includes a tube sheet defining a plurality of holes in fluid communication with a plurality of filter bags. The system also includes a rotating assembly having an arm defining one or more outlets to provide pressurized air from an air source toward the tube sheet in response to pulsing one or more actuators. A motor is operably coupled to the stationary assembly and the rotating assembly to rotate the arm about an axis at a preset rotational speed. A controller is operably coupled to the motor and the one or more actuators to provide pulse commands based on a pulse interval and a jog interval. The pulse interval and the jog interval may be determined based on a measured rotational speed of the arm, which may be redetermined during operation.

Filter systems with filter bag assemblies including filter bags with gaskets configured to form radial seals, as well as corresponding methods of assembling and using the same, are described herein. The filter systems, filter bag assemblies, and filter bags with gaskets may be used in filter systems to remove particulate matter from air or other gases. Methods of using the filter systems and methods of assembling the filter bags on filter service cages in the filter bag assemblies are also described.

An air cleaner comprising: a) a housing b) a cover; c) a filter element within the housing; wherein the surrounding housing-wall defines a pair of opposing receiving V-shaped grooves; wherein the filter element comprises first and second protrusions extending from opposing sides of the filter element and arranged along a common axis; the protrusions being adapted and arranged within the receiving grooves such that the filter element can be rocked about a pivot axis defined by pivot points of the first and second protrusions within the housing pivot the filter element into sealing engagement with the housing; and wherein the protrusions comprise a first leg which is in contact with said first leg of said V-shaped grooves and extends in a direction perpendicular or about perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the filter element and/or an axis of said filter housing to block a movement of the filter element in a direction towards the inlet arrangement and to block a rotation of the element around its pivot points in a first rotation direction; and associated filter element.

A filtration system comprising a hub, a filter cartridge support and an actuator. The hub comprises a gas inlet port; a gas outlet port; and an inert gas channel for communicating an inert gas. The filter cartridge support accommodates at least three filter cartridges at respective filter cartridge locations. The actuator moves the filter cartridge support relative to the hub such that a filter cartridge located in each filter cartridge location cycles between the following positions: i) a cartridge purge position, at which an inlet port of the filter cartridge is in fluid connection with the inert gas channel of the hub; ii) a filtering position, at which: the inlet and outlet ports of the filter cartridge are in fluid connection with the gas inlet and outlet ports of the hub; and a passivation position, at which the filter cartridge can be passivated and subsequently removed from the filter cartridge support.
