Abstract:
An acoustic absorbing filler, the acoustic absorbing filler comprising agglomerates comprising a first phase comprising a plurality of porous particulates and a second phase comprising a binder; wherein the acoustic absorbing filler has a median sieved particle size of from 100 micrometer to 700 micrometers and a specific surface area of from 50 m2/g to 900 m2/g; wherein the acoustic absorbing filler has a normal incidence acoustic absorption of no less than 0.20 alpha at 400 Hz.
Abstract:
Layered filtered cartridge systems with an End of Service Life Indicating system include a filter cartridge that includes filter media. The filter media includes a multi-layer construction, of a first sorbent layer, a second sorbent layer, and a sensing element adjacent to the first and second sorbent layers such that an indicating element of the sensing element is located at the interface between the first and second sorbent layers. The second sorbent layer has a higher adsorption capacity and/or higher adsorption rate than the first sorbent layer. The sensing element indicates the passage of an adsorption wavefront through the filter cartridge.
