摘要:
A filter segment disc of a segment filter comprises a support and drainage plate with slots radiating from the filter hub toward the filter edge. The slots are configured to provide a substantially uniform fluid flow over the filtering medium of the filter segment, reduce residence time of filtrate in the filter, eliminate dead spots in the flow, and facilitate cleaning of permanent filters.

A filter segment disc of a segment filter comprises a support and drainage plate with slots radiating from the filter hub toward the filter edge. The slots are preferably of arcuate plan form and configured to provide a substantially uniform fluid flow over the filtering medium of the filter segment, reduce residence time of filtrate in the filter, eliminate dead spots in the flow, and facilitate cleaning of permanent filters. A filter support spacer may be provided adjacent the filtering surface to aid in support and positive spacing of the disc in a filter stack of which the disc may be an element.
摘要:
The present invention provides a filtration method comprising passing a protein-containing solution through a filtration medium comprising a polyamide-polyether copolymer, such as a polyamide/polyalkylene-oxide-diamine, particularly a nylon 6/polyethylene-oxide-diamine copolymer.
摘要:
A device for processing donated blood comprises a porous medium interposed between the collection bag and a satellite bag into which a component separated by centrifugation can be expressed, the filter element preferably having a CWST of about 70 to about 115 dynes/cm. The porous medium blocks red blood cells, but allows platelets to pass therethrough.
摘要:
A filter cartridge is provided comprising, in combination:(1) a filter sheet material formed in a tube open at at least one end;(2) a support such as an internal core or external sheath disposed in supporting relation to and substantially coextensive with the tube and supporting the filter sheet material of the tube;(3) the support having one end at the open end of the tube formed in a castellated configuration in which at least some of the castellations define grooves therebetween, preferably having reentrant sides; and(4) at least one end cap attached to and extending across the open end of the tube of filter sheet material, and having embedded therein at least the castellated end of the support, with end cap material extending into and substantially filling the grooves, thereby fixedly attaching the end cap to the support in a leak-tight seal.
摘要:
Filter elements and filter assemblies are provided for use at any operating temperatures, having the filter elements disposed in sealing relationship in a leak-tight seal formed at such operating temperature by thermal expansion of at least two sealing components. Thus, at a lower or higher temperature, such as normal atmospheric temperature, the sealing components are contracted, and release the filter elements from sealing engagement, for removal and replacement, while at the selected operating temperature such sealing components are expanded, to form a thermal leak-tight seal therebetween.
摘要:
A process is provided for the continuous production of modular tubular filter elements using nonwoven webs in cylindrical or sheet form spun from thermoplastic fibers, spinning the fibers continuously from a melt onto a rotating internal tubular core for the filter element, serving as a mandrel, and winding them up on the core to form a wound tube.
摘要:
A process is provided for the continuous production of nonwoven webs in cylindrical or sheet form from thermoplastic fibers, spinning the fibers continuously from a melt onto a rotating mandrel and winding them up on the mandrel to form a generally spirally wound cylinder. Density of the wound cylinder is controlled by controlling the distance between the rotating mandrel and the orifices of the spinning die through which the molten polymeric material is spun. If the spinning of the fibers is continuous, the cylinder can be formed in a continuous length. Control of the spinning rate in relation to the diameter and rate of rotation of the mandrel and the rate of advance of the cylinder on the mandrel controls the thickness of the cylinder. The cylinder can be drawn off the mandrel and used as a cylinder, or either slit lengthwise and opened out, or collapsed onto itself, for use as a sheet. The process is particularly adapted for forming filter elements.
