A filter element for a heating, ventilation, and/or air conditioning (HVAC) system includes a filter media pack and a first support element. The filter media pack includes a pleated filter media. The first support element includes a connecting member that is coupled to the pleated filter media and includes at least a portion of a curved wall that curves above a central axis that extends substantially parallel to an insertion direction of the filter element into a filter housing. The first interface member is located at a distal end of the connecting member and defines a first support ledge that is disposed over the connecting member and that extends substantially parallel to the insertion direction.

Filter-housing interface designs for heating, ventilation, and/or air conditioning systems

A filter element for a heating, ventilation, and/or air conditioning (HVAC) system includes a filter media and a support element. The support element includes a first interface member, a second interface member, and a connecting member. The first interface member and the second interface member define opposing lateral ends of the support element and extend parallel to one another. The first interface member and the second interface member are engageable with complementary receiving structures of a rail to support the support element on the rail. The connecting member is coupled to the filter media and extends from the first interface member to the second interface member. The connecting member includes a concave portion extending from the first interface member and a convex portion extending from the second interface member.
