Dust collector for gaseous fluids and a method for manufacturing the dust collector

The invention relates to a dust collector for gaseous fluids and to a method for manufacturing the dust collector. The dust collector includes one or more filtering assemblies (1) that have filtering elements (2). The filtering elements (2) have a tubular extension. They are kept in contact with each other along a direction parallel to their length; the filtering elements (2) enclose, between them, flow channels (3).The method for manufacturing a filtering assembly (1) of the dust collector includes the steps of: permanently deforming a sheet of a filtering material so as to obtain a corrugated sheet (8) with a cross-section defined by repetitions of ′Ω-shaped forms that are connected to each other; and coupling two deformed sheets, so as to keep the straight parts of the ′Ω-shaped forms in contact and to obtain rows of filtering elements (2).
