Abstract
Systems and apparatuses are described that collect dust from the air in a manner that maximizes the volume of air that can be cleaned, while allowing for easier transport of the dust-collecting apparatus to the installation site and improving distribution of air flow within the apparatus so as to provide for a more efficient filtration of the air. In particular, the dust-collecting apparatus includes first and second housing modules that are designed to be joined longitudinally to create a housing. The module having an inlet opening of the apparatus further includes an inlet baffling system that includes multiple baffle plates near the inlet opening that facilitate a cross flow air profile for the air entering the housing. Other components, including a target plate, a baffle support structure having support plates and cross supports, and hopper baffles, may also be provided to secure the baffle plates and enhance the airflow distribution.
