摘要： A radial seal is described for use in a filtration system having annular elements. The rings or annuli fit in a groove in an outer surface of a seal plate. Each annulus has an outer diameter larger than the inner diameter of a cylindrical housing of the filtration system. A gap in the annulus has a width selected to enable the annular element to deform sufficiently to permit insertion of the at least one annulus into the cylindrical housing. Two or more annuli can be configured such that the gaps of the annuli are misaligned when both annuli are installed in the groove, thereby minimizing leakage in operation. A registration system includes a registration element that cooperates with a registration element of the other annulus to ensure misalignment of the gaps of the pair of annuli.

摘要翻译： 描述了用于具有环形元件的过滤系统中的径向密封。 环或环配合在密封板的外表面的凹槽中。 每个环的外径大于过滤系统的圆柱形外壳的内径。 环中的间隙具有选择的宽度，以使得环形元件能够充分变形，以允许将至少一个环插入到圆柱形壳体中。 可以构造两个或更多个环，使得当两个环被安装在槽中时，环的间隙不对准，从而最小化操作中的泄漏。 注册系统包括与另一个环的配准元件协作的注册元件，以确保该对环的间隙的不对准。

摘要： An axial face seal is described that may be employed to seal a spiral membrane element of a filtration system. A seal can be formed using a first seal plate for capping the spiral membrane element to engage a corresponding face of a second seal plate of an adjacent spiral membrane element. The faces of the first and second seal plates have complementary profiles that yield an intermeshed contact of the seal plates when the spiral membrane element is coupled to the adjacent spiral membrane element. The intermeshed contact creates a tortuous flow path from inside the spiral membrane element to the outside of the spiral membrane element, thereby sealing the spiral membrane element at the point of coupling with the adjacent spiral membrane element. Adjacent spiral membrane elements can be coupled using a latching mechanism that is engaged before the spiral membrane elements are inserted into the cylindrical housing.
