Claim Text:
1. A method of manufacturing an inertial filter which includes a pair of baffle plates, the method including: pressing two identical first filter members, one for each baffle plate, each first filter member including a plurality of first deflector plates arranged such that first apertures are defined between adjacent first deflector plates; pressing two identical second filter members, one for each baffle plate, each second filter member including a plurality of second deflector plates arranged such that second apertures are defined between adjacent second deflector plates; creating a pair of baffle plates, each baffle plate being created by press-fitting first and second filter members together such that the second deflector plates are received in the first apertures and the first deflector plates are received in the second apertures, thereby to produce a series of interleaved deflector plates; arranging the baffles plates face-to-face, and removably securing the baffle plates together using a peripherally extending housing, thereby allowing the filter members to be dismantled for cleaning purposes, the baffle plates together defining a plurality of convoluted or serpentine fluid passageways therethrough.
