Abstract:
A filter holder (2) for a filter element (3) that has an oval-shaped cross section transverse to a longitudinal direction (LR) thereof, with a receiving section (19) for receiving the filter element (3), a fluid inlet (24) for allowing fluid (L) to be filtered into the filter holder (2), and a fluid outlet (25) for letting the fluid (L) filtered with the aid of the filter element (3) out of the filter holder (2), wherein the fluid inlet (24) is arranged such that an inflow direction (E) of the fluid (L) to be filtered is oriented in the direction of a lateral surface (29) of the filter element (3) that can be received in the receiving section (19), whereby the fluid (L) to be filtered flows tangentially around the filter element (3) that can be received in the receiving section (19) in order to separate particles (33) contained in the fluid (L) to be filtered on a wall (30) of the receiving section (19) with the aid of centrifugal force.
Abstract:
A blood filtering device has a tubular housing with a tubular section and tubular housing volume. A filtration section with a filter medium separating a raw side from a clean side is arranged in the tubular housing. The filtration section is movable along the tubular section and movably sealed relative to the tubular housing. The filtration section separates the tubular housing volume into variable first and second tubular housing volumes. A first communication path extends between raw side and first tubular housing volume. A second communication path exits between raw side and second tubular housing volume. When moving the filtration section, blood in the first tubular housing volume flows through the first communication path to the raw side; blood plasma passes through the filter medium to the clean side; residual blood flows through the second communication path into the variable second tubular housing volume.
Abstract:
A whole blood hollow fiber membrane filter medium is provided with a ceramic material having pores of a pore size that ensures permeability to blood plasma or serum and its molecular components while blood cells are retained. The whole blood hollow fiber membrane filter medium is used for separating blood plasma from whole blood, wherein the blood plasma preferably shows no hemolysis.
Abstract:
A filter device comprises a filter element that is comprised of at least two radially nested filter bellows, wherein at least one filter bellows is to be flown through in the radial direction and a flow space for the fluid is formed between the filter bellows. Each filter bellows is embodied as a star-shaped filter with filter folds arranged in a star shape. On at least one end face of the filter element a sealing ring is arranged between a filter bellows and the filter housing.
Abstract:
A sealing arrangement is provided in which a seal flange includes a seal flange body having an integrated electrically conductive seal integrated onto an outer circumferential edge of the seal flange body. The seal flange with integrated seal is installable to seal between two confronting mounting flange faces. The seal is operative to conduct electric charge between said seal flange body and said mounting flanges.
