ABSTRACT:
A fluid cleaning filter of the present invention consists of a composite matrix composed of a pleated substrate2configured into a pleated shape and an active carbon-containing layer3, wherein the pleated substrate2is made of polyurethane foam2ahaving a three-dimensional network skeletal structure, and the composite matrix is configured into a cylindrical shape. A filtering medium layer2bmade of fibers is formed on the surface of the polyurethane foam2afacing the active carbon-containing layer3. The fibers of the filtering medium layer maybe electrostatically charged. The fluid cleaning filter exhibits good efficiency of dust collecting and deodorization even when a fluid flows through the filter at high rate.
