FLUTED FILTRATION MEDIA, FILTRATION MEDIA PACKS, AND FILTRATION ELEMENTS

Abstract:

Filtration media, media packs, and filtration elements are described, including fluted filtration media having offset flutes arranged to intermittently contact flutes on adjacent media, including angled and curved flutes. Pleated filtration media with alternating sealed pleat edges are also disclosed, including fluted media with alternating sealed flutes. A media pack can have a first sheet of media and a second sheet of media. The first sheet of media can have a first plurality flutes defining first flute valleys extending between a first face and a second face of the media pack. The second sheet of media can have a second plurality of flutes defining second flute peaks extending between the first face and the second face of the media pack. The first plurality of flutes can be non-parallel to the second plurality of flutes, and each first flute valley contacts one second flute peak at a discrete contact point.
