Abstract
A filter arrangement for a system within which fluid is filtered and an associated method of providing the arrangement. A frame of the arrangement includes an outer periphery shape that is complementary to a shape for location of the filter arrangement therein and a plurality of filter cartridge seat slots arranged in V-shaped pairs. Each filter cartridge seat slot provides a sub-aperture for removably receiving a respective filter cartridge in a direction transverse to the flow proceeding through the sub-aperture. The filter arrangement includes a plurality of filter cartridges that are removably located within respective filter cartridge seat slots. The filter arrangement includes a non-permanent sealing arrangement between the filter cartridges and the frame so that flow does not by-pass filter media. The non-permanent arrangement permits removal of the filter cartridges from the frame and replacement with new filter cartridges upon the frame.
