Abstract

A hollow filter housing is provided with a support and a plurality of fiber bundles located on the support. The fibers extend within the filter housing in direction between an inlet and an outlet of the housing. The contaminated medium is introduced into the housing through the inlet in a direction towards the outlet to flow past the plurality of the fiber bundles. The contaminated medium becomes filtered as it passes through the filter bundles without compressing the latter against the support.
