[ What is claimed is:] [18.] A system including a cylindrical filter cartridge for collecting airborne liquids constructed and arranged for air to flow from exterior to interior thereof; the system comprising:(a) the filter cartridge including:(i) first and second end caps;(ii) a cylindrical perforated inner liner defining a hollow interior; said inner liner extending between said first and second end caps;(A) said first end cap including a slanted region within the inner liner and extending into said hollow interior;(iii) a first region of filter media surrounding said inner liner; said first region of filter media extending between said first and second end caps; said filter media having pleats separated by spacers for preventing the pleats from collapsing;(iv) a low surface energy material to promote agglomeration and drainage of the airborne liquids; said low surface energy material being on a portion of said first region of filter media;(v) a cylindrical outer liner extending between said first and second end caps and being spaced apart from and surrounding said first region of filter media;(A) said outer liner and said first region of filter media defining an open space between said outer liner and said first region of filter media;(b) a second region of filter media surrounding said outer liner; and(c) a blower arrangement constructed and arranged to direct air containing the airborne liquids through said second region of filter media and then through said filter cartridge into said hollow interior and out through an exhaust port.
