Abstract
The filtering apparatus filters air-contaminant mixtures. An annular housing has an outer wall and a channel defining a central axis, the channel having a primary gas inlet and a primary gas outlet and a channel wall. The apparatus has a secondary inlet port passing through the outer wall. A secondary outlet port defines an opening in the channel wall such that there is no straight line flow path between the secondary inlet and the secondary outlet. A passageway between the secondary inlet and the secondary outlet is defined exteriorly by the outer wall and interiorly by the channel wall.
