Abstract:
The present invention relates to an apparatus for the treatment of liquids, comprising a filter module with a filter, an inlet for liquid, a first outlet for liquid and a second outlet for filtered liquid, wherein the inlet and the first outlet are positioned on a first side of the filter, and the second outlet is positioned on the second side of the filter, a first UV-treatment module with a first UV-light source, wherein the first UV-treatment module is connected with the first outlet of the filter module and adapted to receive liquid from the filter module, and to expose said liquid to UV-light from the first UV-light source, and a second UV-treatment module with a second UV-light source, wherein the second UV-treatment module is connected with the second outlet of the filter module adapted to receive filtered liquid from the filter module, and to expose said liquid to UV-light from the second UV-light source.
Abstract:
A filter assembly for a fuel delivery system for actuators and fuel control system of an aircraft engine includes a wash flow filter. Fuel flow velocity is increased through the filter through use of a recirculating passage that is effectively achieved through use of an ejector pump. A portion of the pressurized fuel delivered by the main fuel pump is diverted and serves as a motive fluid that scavenges unfiltered flow from downstream of the filter and recirculates or discharges the recirculated flow to an inlet of the filter. This provides increased velocity to maintain sufficient washing of the filter openings.
Abstract:
In recycling metal stripping solutions such as nitric acid-containing solutions, chemicals are drawn off from a stripping stage (100) into a separate circulatory path in which they are pumped through a series of tangential filters (60', 62', 64', 66'), and a collection tank (38'). Permeate from the filters is returned to the stripping stage (100), and solutions with high concentrations of solids are removed from the collection tank, allowing recovery of metals.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for filtering out of a liquid at least one solid substance comprised therein with mainly tube-shaped filter means, said method comprising consecutively: supplying said fluid containing said substance via axial supply means to said filter means; filtering said fluid containing said substance where said substance remains in said filter means as residue; draining away said fluid; and removing said residue via axial closable discharge means opposite to said supply means out of said filter means, where compressing a predetermined amount of residue to the shape of mainly a solid bar under the influence of pressure in said supplied fluid, when filtering; opening said closable discharge at a predetermined moment; and removing said bar under influence of pressure on said bar exerted by said fluid. With the use of a filter device according to the present invention a filtering process does not have to be interrupted in order to clean the filter means, since a compact accumulation of residue formed during a filtering process under pressure from the supplied flow of liquid is ejected in its entirety by opening the closeable second discharge means, whereafter the filtering process can be immediately resumed.
Abstract:
A dust collector (10) includes upper and lower apertured tube sheets (40, 42) within a collector housing, with a plurality of vertically extending filter tube assemblies secured to upper tube sheet apertures (44) and extending downwardly toward the lower tube sheet (42). Each filter tube assembly (54) has a filter tube (56) optionally equipped with a lower weight assembly (58) placing the tube (56) in tension. Particulate-laden gas passes through the upper ends of the filter tubes (56) and downwardly therethrough, causing particulates to collect on the inner surfaces of the tubes (56). Such collected particulates are periodically removed by generating vacuum shock pulses which act on the tubes (56) to dislodge the particulates.
