Abstract: A filter media includes flutes, forward plugs, and aft plugs. Each of the flutes has a forward flute face, an aft flute face, and a flute body defining a flute conduit to convey the fluid. The forward plugs are disposed in alternating ones of the flutes. Each forward plug includes a plug base and an aerodynamic plug nose. The aerodynamic plug nose has a center axis and a nose surface tapering outwardly from the center axis towards the plug base. The plug nose is configured to aerodynamically redirect a flow of the fluid away from the center axis. The flutes that have forward plugs include a flute outlet disposed at the aft flute face. The aft plugs are disposed in the flutes adjacent to the flutes that have corresponding forward plugs. The flutes that have aft plugs include a flute inlet disposed at the forward flute face.

Abstract: A damper box includes a curved wall, an outlet, a side wall, and filter and a damper. The curved wall has an outside surface, an inside surface, and a separator sandwiched between an outside air inlet and a recirculated air inlet. The side wall is disposed between the recirculated air inlet and the outlet. The filter has a curvature matching the curved wall and covering the outside surface of the curved wall. The damper has an axis of rotation adjacent to and in alignment with the separator. The damper has a first face and a trailing edge. The first face is curved and configured to mate with a curved frame disposed about the outside air inlet. The trailing edge is configured to mate with the side wall. A ratio of outside air to recirculated air is modulated in response to the damper being rotated.

Abstract: A filter element includes a center tube and a blank of a filter media. The center tube has a first end and a second end. The blank is folded into a plurality of triangles. Each triangle is disposed adjacent to another of the plurality of triangles to form a series of triangular pleats to form a pleated filter media. The pleated filter media is disposed about the center tube. A cross sectional area of the pleated filter media proximal to each of the first end and the second end is greater than a cross sectional area of the pleated filter media at a point between the first end and the second end.
