Abstract
Abstract Constructions and methods are described for collecting particulate material from gas streams. In one specifically described arrangement, a region of depth media is oriented upstream of a second region of depth media. A surface loading media is positioned downstream from the second region of depth media. In an alternate embodiment, a further region of filter media is positioned downstream from the surface loading media.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
151 words
A filter construction comprising: (a) a first cylindrical region of depth media comprising an upstream region of depth media having a first percent solidity of about 1-3% and comprising fibers having an average diameter of between 16 and 22 microns. (b) a second cylindrical region of depth media, said second region of depth media being positioned downstream from the first region of depth media, and having a percent solidity different from the first percent solidity; said second region of depth media being construction and arranged to entrap at least 60%, by weight, of any particulates within a size range of about 1 micron to about 10 micron, which pass through the first region of depth media during use, said second region of depth media comprising fibers having an average fiber size of less than 18 microns. (c) a surface loading media construction positioned downstream of said second region of depth media.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

(c) a surface loading media construction positioned downstream of said second region of depth media.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
22 words
A filter construction according to claim 1 including a fourth region of filter media positioned downstream from said surface loading media construction.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
20 words
A filter construction according to claim 2 wherein said fourth region of filter media comprises a region of depth media.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
19 words
A filter construction according to claim 1 wherein said surface loading media construction comprises an oiled pleated paper filter.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
38 words
A filter construction according to claim 1 wherein said first region of depth media occupies less than 70% of a total volume of depth media within said construction which is located upstream from said surface loading media construction.
