Abstract:
A fluid filter including: an upper case provided with an outlet hole; a lower case provided with an inlet hole; and a filter element held between the upper case and lower case, wherein the outlet hole and the inlet hole are arranged opposite to each other. The filter element includes a first filter material which is folded and arranged in a communication part connecting the outlet hole and the inlet hole, and a second filter material which is folded and spaced apart from the communication part, and the retention interval L1 of the first filter material in the fold line direction is smaller than the retention interval L2 of the second filter material in the fold line direction.
Abstract:
A fluid filtering apparatus and method may include keyed components to ensure that a correct filter element is being installed into a filter base. Keyed arrangements may occur between a filter element and a filter housing, a filter and a filter base, and a filter base and a filter housing. A locking arrangement may be provided to prevent undesired loosening of a filter relative to a filter base. The filter base may include a torsion lock insert that engages lock detents of a filter to prevent the undesired loosening. An adaptor may be provided to provide the lock detents that interact with a torsion lock insert.
Abstract:
A filter element includes a filter member provided with a plurality of pleat portions and a frame body holding an outer peripheral portion of the filter member. The frame body is provided with a comb-shaped portion having a comb-tooth portion which is inserted into adjacent pleat portions and contacts to a surface of the filter member, and the comb-shaped member is formed by an insert-molding process.
Abstract:
A disc segment adapted to be attached to other disc segments to form a disc assembly, the disc segment including an isosceles trapezoid frame. The frame comprises a left side rail and a right side rail, and a plurality of spaced apart parallel horizontally extending ribs connected between the side rails. The frame defines a first disc side and an opposite second disc side, each disc side including a corrugated left bottom clamp list adjacent the left side rail and supported by the ribs, and a corrugated right bottom clamp list adjacent the right side rail and supported by the ribs. Each disc side also includes a corrugated wire mesh supported by the left and right clamp lists, and supported by the frame ribs.
Abstract:
A filter includes a filter element (1) having a filter medium (106) pleated in a zigzag manner, with a raw side (105) and a clean side (104). Filter medium sections (120) extend on either side of the raw-side pleat tips (102a) to adjoining raw-side pleat bases (103a) include a first bend (552) toward the raw side (105), and behind that a second bend (554) toward the clean side (104). A plurality of elongated depressions (656) are formed on the raw side (105), which extend between pleat tips (102a) and pleat bases (103a) approximately perpendicular to pleat edges (F) and implement corresponding elevations (658) on the clean side (104) such that, in a raw-side pleat intermediate space (148a), in each case, two depressions (656) on the two medium sections (120) delimiting the pleat intermediate space (148a) are located directly opposite of each other and each form a flow channel (660).
Abstract:
Filter cartridge arrangements, features thereof and assembly for use therewith, are provided. Selected filter cartridge features disclosed are particularly well adapted for use with a safety or secondary filter cartridge, usable with media thereof projecting into an open interior of a main filter cartridge, in use. An example filter cartridge is described, with a non-pleated end and a pleated end, although variations are also described. Advantageous main cartridges are also described. Methods of assembly and systems for use are described.
Abstract:
A filter device having a vent device for inhibiting formation of a vacuum in the filter device. The filter device includes a drum for receiving the liquid wherein the drum includes a drum headspace. The filter device also includes filter sets for filtering the liquid. The drum is rotated to enable cleaning of filter media. The filter device also includes a frame having spaced apart supports for supporting each of the filter sets. A fluid passageway extends between the supports, wherein the fluid passageway provides fluid communication between the tank headspace and a filter set to vent a filter set.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to filters used to remove debris from water being sucked into a piping system. It has particular application for use in nuclear power plants, which, after a loss of coolant accident, must pump cooling water back into the reactor core from a collection sump. This water may contain various types of debris that must be removed before the water is sent back into the reactor cooling system. Filtering of the debris is realized with the component known as “strainers”. There are restrictions on the space available for installing strainers. The vaned filtering element, for example a vaned fin, of the present invention is designed to reduce the space required for strainer installation by increasing strainer surface area per unit volume, while maximizing the quantity of debris that can be filtered from the water.
Abstract:
A pump unit having a fuel pump and a suction filter is provided in a sub tank of a fuel tank. A filter element sheet for the suction filter is formed in a cup shape, a bottom wall portion of which faces to an inner bottom surface of the sub tank. A suction port of the fuel pump is opened to a fuel passage formed in the inside of the suction filter, so that filtered fuel is sucked into the fuel pump. Multiple mountain fold portions and multiple valley fold portions are formed on a side wall of the cup-shaped filter element sheet, to thereby increase surface area for filtering the fuel.
