ABSTRACT:
A combined filter and HME has a rectangular housing with an inlet port and an outlet port. A pleated filter element is located in the housing towards the outlet port and an HME element is located towards the inlet port. An oval deflector between the HME element and the inlet port is oriented with its longer axis aligned with the shorter lateral dimension of the housing, so that gas from the inlet is deflected preferentially along the longer lateral dimension of the housing, thereby giving a more evenly distributed gas flow over the surface of the HME element.
