ABSTRACT:
An improved filter assembly of the type having a housing with an inlet, an outlet,and a passage in fluid communication with the inlet and the outlet, a filter media disposed within the passage, and at least a first filter element mounted on the housing which includes a porous member extending transversely across the passage adjacent a first end portion of the filter media. The porous member is pleated in order to provide increased surface area for a given cross sectional area of the passage. The filter element includes an annular support member having an opening and a pleated porous member mounted on the support member so that a plurality of pleats extend transversely across the support member. A method of fabricating the filter element includes providing the annular support member, forming the pleated porous member, and mounting the porous member in a position extending across the opening. A circularly shaped portion is cut from a pleated sheet of porous material having at least two layers while the pleats are compressed. Then, the pleats are allowed to expand and all but one of the layers are removed from the circularly shaped portion, the remaining layer being retained as the pleated porous member.
