Patent EP-1785604-A1 (EP)
Inventor: MUTER JOHN
IPC: F01N3/022
Filed: 2006-11-14
Abstract: A filtering apparatus (20) having a plurality of passages (22,24) made up of juxtaposed longitudinally extending channels (26,28). The passages (22,24) are axially divided by a porous filtering media (30) extending across the channels (26,28) whereby the channels fluidly communicate through the porous filtering media (30). A pressure differential is created across the filtering media (30) by restricting flow through an end of each channel, with each restriction being at an opposite end from that of the other channel. As flow restriction rather than outright blocking is used, some flow is possible along each passage (22,24) directly along the channels (26,28) even if the channels lose the ability to fluidly communicate through clogging of the filtering media (30).
