Abstract:
A filter device for filtering a liquid which includes trash. The device includes a drum for receiving the liquid and trash, wherein the drum includes at least one drum aperture. The device further includes a first pair of filter panels which are adapted for filtering the liquid. The filter panels are spaced apart to form a cavity for receiving the liquid and trash. The device further includes a frame for supporting the filter panels, wherein the frame is coupled to the drum. The frame includes a frame aperture wherein the frame aperture and the cavity form a volume having a cross sectional area sized substantially equal to or greater than the drum aperture and wherein said volume extends to a second pair of filter panels to enable liquid and trash which pass through the drum aperture to also pass through the frame aperture to the second pair of filter panels.
Abstract:
A fluid filter element comprising: an embossed flat filter material which is folded so as to define a plurality of substantially adjacent walls, each wall defining a planar surface between two adjacent fold lines, said wall having an embossing comprising: a first embossing row having a centrally located elongated positive embossment and a distal embossment at each end of the positive elongated embossment, wherein at least one distal embossment is negative; and, a second embossing row spaced from and parallel to the first embossing row, the second embossing row having two elongated embossments, wherein one elongated embossment is negative and one is positive. A method regarding the making of the same.
Abstract:
A fluid filter media including a first media layer, a second media layer, a filter layer disposed between the first media layer and the second media layer, and a plurality of spaced apart weld points that couple the first media layer, the filter layer, and the second media layer together, where the weld points distort the surface of the first media layer and the second media layer, the fluid filter media is folded back on itself to form a plurality of pleats, and the surface distortions permit fluid flow through the fluid filter media when adjacent surfaces of the fluid filter media touch.
Abstract:
A pleated media pack includes a section of media configured into a tube defining an interior volume and an open opening at one end. A ratio of the pleat depth to a diameter of the opening is greater than 0.2. At least some of the pleats at one end of the media pack are inverted. In some examples, the pleats include major pleats alternating with minor pleats.
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 disclosure relates to modular filtration systems using removable filter cassettes for filtering liquids including, for example, liquids used in semiconductor manufacturing. A filtration system may include a removable filter cassette having a filter inlet port and a filter outlet port, a filter cassette holder configured to receive and retain the filter cassette, and a main assembly. The main assembly can further comprise a filter inlet interface port configured to receive the filter inlet port, and a filter outlet interface port configured to receive the filter outlet port and can define flow paths to direct flow to and from the filter cassette. The filter cassette holder may be movably coupled to the main assembly such that the filter cassette is movable relative to the main assembly from an unmated position to a mated position.

Abstract:
A pleated filter element extends axially between an upstream inlet and a downstream outlet along a plurality of axially extending bend lines forming axial flow channels. The bend lines taper in a transverse direction and define a plurality of axially elongated tetrahedron channels facing oppositely to each other.
Abstract:
Device for filtration of liquid medium, having a filter housing (2) with a filtration chamber (3) delineated by a base element (10) and a cover (20). A drain duct (15) in the base element to drain medium from the filtration chamber. A filter cassette (30) fitted detachably in the filtration chamber. The filter cassette has a first endwall (31) towards the cover, a second endwall (32) towards the base element, and a filter element (33) fastened to, and extending between, the endwalls. The endwalls and the filter element together delineate an internal space (34) for a medium to be filtered. The filter cassette has a drain tube (40) which protrudes from the second endwall and has its inner end leading into the internal space of the filter cassette. The drain tube is accommodated in the drain duct when the filter cassette is fitted in the filtration chamber.
Abstract:
A filter housing and filter cartridge engagement structure comprising a housing having at least one ramp adapted to engage lugs of the at least one filter cartridge.
