A filtering device suitable for filtering a flow of fluid in a channel
includes a plurality of filter elements coupled to one another to define
a filter loop. The filter loop is configured to position a filter element
in the channel to filter a portion of the flow of fluid. The filtering
device also includes a plurality of resilient seal members. Each seal
member is coupled to one of the plurality of filter elements such that
the seal member is at least partially compressed by an adjacent filter
element. At least one seal member inhibits the flow of fluid between the
filter element to which the seal member is attached and the adjacent
filter element.
