In the dry filtration processes that use pads or panels to capture dust, the filter surface is basically flat - one side of the filter sheet in a pad filter, or the upstream surface of a pleated medium panel. The group of filter types to be described next capture the dust inside or on the outer surface of a generally bag-shaped element, of circular or elongated oval cross-section. These three types - the filter bag, the filter pocket and the filter candle - are very important components of the dust collection equipment spectrum, but bags are also used in liquid clarification. 

The filter pocket is just as its name implies two rectangular sheets of filter medium, placed side-by-side, joined together at three edges, the fourth being open. Pockets are used almost exclusively for air cleaning, in which function they act, Uterally... 

Although filter pockets can also be used singly, they are much more often found in groups of 4 to 8, mounted side by side in a rigid front member, which holds the pockets open, and from which they can be withdrawn for disposal (see Figure 3.46). This holding frame is made to the same size as the filter panels, so that the pocket panel can be clipped into the same sized space. 

Very high filtration efficiencies are possible with filter pockets, depending on the filter medium used, e.g. up to 99.8% efficiency with DIN 24 185 test dust. Performance also depends on the pockets remaining rigid and inflated , even at reduced or zero air flow. Most pockets are self-supporting by their very construction, particularly if they are mounted vertically others require hooks, loops or wire mesh for support. 

A further advantage of the package deal is that the panel filters, pocket filters, automatic roll filters, and various combinations of filters, provided by a systems supplier are designed to match standard dimensions for air handling units. It remains, however, to be decided which types of filter are best suited and most cost-effective for the performance required. 

The elements are most commonly in the fonn of a bag, closed at the lower end and sealed to the support plate at the top. A sleeve stracture is also used, sealed to its support cage at both ends. Filter pockets may be used instead of bags, and so are several other element designs particular to certain applications. The filter media can be rigid or flexible, and have employed almost every type of material from which filter media are made woven yams (natural or synthetic), felts and needlefelts, pleated sheet, spunbonded polymers and other forms of meltspnn materials, glass fibre, metallic fibre or wire, sintered powders and ceranucs. 

Dry filters are usually deeper than viscous filters. The dry filter media use finer fibers and have much smaller pores than the viscous media and need not rely on an oil coating to retain collected dust. Because of their greater resistance to air flow, dry filters must use lower filtration velocities to avoid excessive pressure drops. Hence, dry media must have larger surface areas and are usually pleated or arranged in the form of pockets (Fig. 17-64), generally sheets of cellulose pulp, cotton, felt, or spun glass. 

Cake-discharge methods are the chief distinguishing feature among the various designs. That of the Industrial Filter Pump Hydro-Shoe, for example, removes cake from the tubes by filtrate backflushing assisted by the shocking action of a compressed-gas pocket formed... 

Bag An extended surface filter in the form of a pocket or bag. A typical example of a bag filter is a mineral fiber bag made up of three layers, in which the first layer acts as a prefilter, the second is for fine filtration, and the third prevents fiber migration from the material used. 

Pocket An extended-surface filter in which the medium is formed into pockets or hags through which the dust-laden gas flows. They may be supported by the air pressure or self-supporting. 

No socket welding or other pockets that can accumulate dirt downstream of filter.

Instruments have been developed through which the smoke can be viewed and a shaded filter superposed on part of the image. By far the most common of these is the telesmoke. This device can be carried in the Inspector s pocket and most local authorities possess at least one of these. 

Stateful pattern recognition This method examines and compares the contents of certain key parts of an information packet against a database of acceptable information. Information traveling from inside the firewall to the outside is monitored for specific defining characteristics, then incoming information is compared to these characteristics. If the comparison yields a reasonable match, the information is allowed through. If not, the information is discarded. Provides a limited time window to allow pockets of information to be sent does not allow any direct connections between internal and external hosts supports user-level authentication. Slower than packet filtering does not support all types of connections. 

Small errors in computation that may result in pockets of small negative temperature T can have disastrous effects here since temperature is an active scalar, and influences the flow directly (unlike passive scalars like dye concentration). To maintain positivity of temperature, a simple procedure used by Riley et al. [10] is followed, which merely involves setting any small negative temperature that may arise to zero at every time step. It has been shown [10] that one is still able to get superalgebraic convergence using this simple filter. 

Remove the comb and fill the samples, 5-10 pi each, into the pockets. It is recommended to cover the gel with a glass plate being on the filter bridge. 

So, I wrote out a check for the filter, gave my new friend a chemistry text, and hoped that he would reap some benefit from our visit. The night, I thought, had been dark and stormy for him in more ways than one. I watched through the window as he braved the weather and headed towards the next house. He paused for a moment. I guess he needed some stress relief. The man who was so worried about the chemicals in my tap water reached into his pocket, pulled out a cigarette, and lit up.
