Channel Flow® Air Filters
Baldwin Filters' patent pending Channel Flow air filters provide superior filtration solutions in a lightweight, compact design for easy installation in less space. This straight-through air flow technology not only allows for less installation space, but also offers manufacturers flexibility in design configuration.
The Baldwin Design
Baldwin’s Channel Flow filter has more surface area than a traditional air filter,
while requiring the same or less installation space. The Channel Flow media is formed by layering alternating rows of flat sheets and corrugated
media. When completed, the media resembles a honeycomb network of channels.
As the media pack is formed, alternating channels are sealed
with a bead of adhesive. Air enters open channels and flows through the
media and out through adjacent open channels.
Increased air flow is needed for higher performance engines. Increased
air flow is also needed to meet tougher exhaust emission standards.
With a traditional air filter, air typically enters through the side of the filter
housing. The air must then work its way around the filter element, pass
through the media, then turn 90° to exit the filter. By eliminating the turns
the air needs to make in a traditional air filter, in-line air filters reduce
restriction.
