Abstract

A flexible industrial air filter system including a plurality of workstations, air filter units and a plurality of duct sections interconnected together to define a modular duct work grid. T-connectors are mounted between some of the sections with the workstations and air filter units positioned generally adjacent the T-connectors. Connection ducts interconnect the T-connectors and either the workstations or air filter units. Quick release connectors connect the connection ducts to the T-connectors and to the work stations and the air filter units such that the workstations and air filter units can be quickly added, removed, moved, and repositioned as desired.

Claims (18)

1. A flexible industrial air filter system comprising:

a plurality of workstations;

a plurality of air filter units;

a plurality of duct sections interconnected together to define a modular duct work grid;

a plurality of T-connectors mounted between some of said sections; said workstations and air filter units being positioned generally adjacent said T-connectors;

connection ducts interconnecting said T-connectors and either said workstations and said air filter units;

quick release connectors connecting said connection ducts to said T-connectors and to said work stations and said air filter units;

such that said workstations and air filter units can be quickly added, removed, moved, and repositioned as desired.

2. The flexible industrial air filter system of claim 1 , further including quick release connectors connecting said duct sections;

such that said duct sections can be quickly added, removed, moved, and repositioned as desired.

3. A flexible industrial air filter system comprising:

a plurality of workstations;

a plurality of air filter units;

a main ductwork system;

t-connectors interconnecting said workstations and said air filter units to said main ductwork system, said main ductwork and said t-connectors having a uniform cross sectional area;

said air filter units pulling air from said workstations to create airflow entering said t-connectors and entering said main ductwork system and flowing to said air filter units;

said t-connectors enabling said airflow entering said main ductwork system from said workstations to flow in either direction along the main ductwork system said air filter units that are adjacent or have available suction capacity;

whereby said air suction pressure of volumetric flow rate remains constant at any point along said main ductwork system, regardless of the distance from an adjacent air filter unit.
