Abstract
A filter element support assembly for use with hollow, cylindrical, pleated media filter elements is disclosed. The filter elements are placed on the support in end-to-end abutting relationship. The support includes a plurality of baffle plates in parallel spaced relationship, which isolate the interior chamber of each filter element from those of the support assembly into the interior chambers of the filter elements. The tubes are not only the primary structural members of the assembly, but also serve the dual function of providing a means of fluid communication between each isolated filter element chamber and a clean air plenum and source of compressed air, and of guiding and positioning the filter elements in their proper locations.
