ABSTRACT:
A self-cleaning filtration system for removing particulate matter from a particulate laden gas flow includes a housing having an upper end opening for receiving the gas flow, a lower end opening communicating with the interior of a large particulate receiving container positioned beneath the housing, a vertical internal passage extending between the upper and lower end openings, and a vertically spaced plurality of side wall openings communicating with the internal passage. Coaxially supported within the internal passage is an open-ended, flexible tubular filter element through which the received gas flow downwardly passes. During filtration system operation, a major portion of the downwardly flowing gas is forced laterally through the filter element, and is flowed outwardly through the housing side wall openings as cleansed gas, while a minor, unfiltered portion of the gas flow is downwardly discharged into the container. The downward gas throughflow tends to dislodge adhered particulate matter from the inner side surface of the filter element, the dislodged particulate matter falling into the container.
