Abstract
An industrial baghouse having a single clean air plenum in which a portion of the filter bags can be serviced while the baghouse remains on line. Service compartments in the clean air plenum can be individually isolated from the remainder of the clean air plenum by installing removable slide gates through normally sealed slots formed in the top of the baghouse. When a service compartment has been enclosed by the gates, it is isolated from the clean air plenum and access doors above the compartment can be removed to provide access for on line inspection and servicing of the filter bags and related components. Removable gaskets which normally seal the slots can be removed prior to insertion of the gates and replaced following removal of the gates.
