INHERENTLY STABLE, FLOW-POROUS FILTER ELEMENT AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING SUCH A FILTER ELEMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240325952 titled 'INHERENTLY STABLE, FLOW-POROUS FILTER ELEMENT AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING SUCH A FILTER ELEMENT
Simplified Explanation:
This patent application describes a stable filter element made of plastic with a three-dimensional support structure for filtering foreign substances from a gas stream. The filter body has a surface filtration layer on the inflow side and cavities in the support structure for gas flow.
- The filter element is inherently stable and allows gas to flow through while filtering out foreign substances.
- The filter body is made of plastic and has a surface filtration layer on the inflow side.
- A three-dimensional support structure is created using an additive manufacturing process.
- The support structure has cavities that allow gas to flow from the inflow side to the outflow side.
- The surface filtration layer fills the cavities of the support structure, enhancing the filtering process.
Potential Applications: - Air filtration systems in industrial settings - Automotive air filters - HVAC systems in buildings - Gas masks and respirators
Problems Solved: - Efficiently filtering foreign substances from gas streams - Providing stability and durability in filter elements - Allowing for consistent gas flow while maintaining filtration effectiveness
Benefits: - Improved air quality - Longer lifespan of filter elements - Enhanced gas filtration efficiency - Reduced maintenance and replacement costs
Commercial Applications: Title: "Advanced Gas Filtration Technology for Industrial and Automotive Use" This technology can be utilized in various industries such as manufacturing, automotive, and construction for air filtration purposes. It can also be marketed to companies specializing in HVAC systems and personal protective equipment.
Questions about Gas Filtration Technology: 1. How does the three-dimensional support structure enhance the filtration process? The support structure with cavities allows for efficient gas flow while the surface filtration layer effectively captures foreign substances.
2. What are the potential cost savings associated with using this filter element? The longer lifespan and durability of the filter element can lead to reduced maintenance and replacement costs for users.
Original Abstract Submitted
an inherently stable, throughflow-porous filter element for filtering foreign substances from a gas stream, comprising a filter body of plastic and having an inflow side and an opposite outflow side, wherein a surface filtration layer is formed on the inflow side, wherein the filter body has a three-dimensional support structure manufactured in an additive manufacturing process, said support structure having cavities through which gas can flow from the inflow side to the outflow side, and wherein the surface filtration layer at least partially fills the cavities of the three-dimensional support structure.
