(57) The present invention relates to a filter (105, 505) configured for use in a hood
(101), comprising a plurality of housings, each adapted to receive a respective filter
element (201), wherein the plurality of housings are in side-by-side relation and
define a filtering surface, and an air inlet (203) for introducing air to be filtered
into the filter (105, 505); the plurality of housings are arranged in the filter (105,
501) around at least a part of the perimeter of the air inlet (203), thereby defining
a side filtering surface, wherein each one of the housings comprises a pair of longitudinal
guides (303a, 303b) adapted to hold the respective filter element (201) in place,
and an opening (303) for inserting said filter element (201) into the pair of guides
(303a, 303b), the opening (303) being located at the end of said guides (303a, 303b)
opposite to the air inlet (203).
The present invention also relates to a filter (105, 405) configured for use in a
hood (101), comprising a plurality of housings, each adapted to receive a respective
filter element (201, 401), wherein the housings are in side-by-side relation and define
a filtering surface and an inlet (203, 403) for introducing air to be filtered into
said filter (105, 405). The filter (105, 405) further comprises an internal baffle
element (204, 404) adapted to fluid-dynamically interact with the air coming from
the inlet (203, 403) and direct it towards the filtering surface.
The present invention further relates to an associated hood using a filter.
