A grid for an air filter assembly and an air filter assembly

Abstract

The present invention relates to a grid (100) for an air filter assembly (500), the grid (100) being configured to be disposed downstream of an air filter media package (200) of the air filter assembly (500), wherein the grid (100) includes: a plurality of parallel blades (120) configured to deflect airflow away from the air filter media package (200); and at least two support beams (130) extending between the blades (120) along the longitudinal direction (Lo) of the grid (100) and connecting the blades (120) to each other. The grid (100) includes a first segment (1), a second segment (2), and a third segment (3) along the longitudinal direction (Lo) of the grid (100), wherein the third segment (3) substantially corresponds to 50% of the longitudinal extension of the grid (100) and is configured to be adjacent to the downstream end of the air filter assembly (500), wherein the third segment (3) includes blades (120) configured such that the projected area of ​​the blades (120) in the third segment (3) covers at least 50% of the total area of ​​the third segment (3). The invention further relates to the air filter assembly (500). The disclosure relates to a grid (100) for an air filter assembly (500), the grid (100) being configured to be arranged downstream of an air filter media pack (200) of the air filter assembly (500), wherein the grid (100) comprises: a plurality of parallel vanes (120) configured to deflect an airflow leaving the air filter media pack (200);and at least two support beams (130) extending in the longitudinal direction (Lo) of the grid (100) between the vanes (120) and connecting the vanes (120) to each other, wherein the grid (100) comprises a first section (1), a second section (2) and a third section (3) along the longitudinal direction (Lo) of the grid (100), wherein the third section (3) corresponds to essentially 50% of a longitudinal extension of the grid (100) and is configured to be arranged adjacent a downstream end of the air filter assembly (500), wherein the third section (3) comprises vanes (120) configured such that a projected area of the vanes (120) in the third section (3) covers at least 50% of the total area of the third section (3). The disclosure further relates to an air filter assembly (500).;
