The present disclosure generally relates to the field of filtration. In particular, the present disclosure relates to filtration devices, systems and methods for high flowrates and low pressure differentials through porous bodies of metal fiber media.

Devices, systems and methods for a filter

Sintered fiber filters are provided that can afford high particle capture efficiency and/or low pressure drop during operation, and are useful in applications such as semiconductor processing. The shape of at least a portion of the individual fibers (e.g., metal fibers) used to make the filter have a three-dimensional aspect, which allows for a low packing density and high porosity filtration media. Certain filters have a cylindrical or tube-like shape with tapered ends of higher density. Methods of making such filters, for example, using axial pressing, are also described.
