Abstract:
An air processing apparatus comprising:a pair of manifolds disposed in spaced relationship;a rigid compression load bearing means engaging said manifolds and extending therebetween to establish a minimum spacing between said manifolds;tension load bearing means which is cooperable with said manifolds to maintain said manifolds at said minimum spacing in compressive engagement with said compression means;plural air conveying means extending between and engaging said manifolds, with at least some of said air conveying means engaging said manifolds in sealed but essentially non-load bearing engagement;said at least some of said air conveying means including air processing means which are operable to process a stream of air passed therethrough from one of said manifolds to the other;at least one of said manifolds including air inlet and outlet means for receiving air to be processed into said processing apparatus and for passing processed air from said processing apparatus; andsaid manifolds including portions of a flow passage means for directing air from said inlet means through said air processing means and to said outlet means.
