Abstract:
A filtration device having therein a pleated, twisted filtration material is provided. The filtration material has a generally cylindrical shape and includes a first end, a second end opposing the first end, and outwardly projecting pleats. The pleats have a non-linear orientation within the filtration device. The twisting of the filtration material moves the ends of the pleats a distance around the circumference of the filtration material from a first position (P1) to a second position (P2). The angle of rotation may range from about 5 degrees to about 1440 degrees. Twisting the filtration material increases the effective amount of filtration material in the filtration device, which in turn, corresponds to an increase in the Effective Filtration Area (EFA). The intentional misalignment of the pleat ends in the filtration material improves the cutting ability of the material, removes buckling of the material, and improves the quality of the trim cut.
Abstract:
Eine Vorrichtung zum Behandeln von Fluid, insbesondere Filtervorrichtung, mit mindestens einem ersten (12) und einem zweiten rohrförmigen Element (14), die miteinander einen Elementverbund (10) bilden, wobei das eine Element (14) unter Bildung eines Strömungsraumes (33) zwischen den beiden Elementen (12, 14) in dem anderen Element (12) derart aufgenommen ist, dass ein erstes Element (12) in Richtung der Anströmseite (29) eines zu behandelnden Fluids und ein zweites Element (14) in Richtung der Abströmseite (31) des behandelten Fluids im Elementverbund (10) angeordnet ist, und wobei beide Elemente (12, 14) während der Fluidbehandlung in Hintereinanderfolge von Richtung der Anströmseite (29) kommend zu der Abströmseite (31) durchströmt sind, ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass bezogen auf eine gemeinsame Ansichtsrichtung (P) das der Anströmseite (29) zugewandte erste Element (12) zumindest teilweise eine gleichförmige oder ungleichförmige Kontur und das der Abströmseite (31) zugewandte zweite Element (14) zumindest teilweise eine ungleichförmige oder gleichförmige Kontur aufweist.

Abstract:
A filter assembly includes a filter housing having a longitudinal axis, the filter housing divided into a first filter chamber and a second filter chamber, a first element bottom endplate. a second element top endplate, an intermediate endplate positioned along the longitudinal axis between the second element top endplate and the first element bottom endplate, a first filter element housed within the first filter chamber and comprising first filter media positioned between the first element bottom endplate and the intermediate endplate, and a second filter element housed within the second filter chamber and comprising second filter media positioned between the second element top endplate and the intermediate endplate.
Abstract:
A filter (60) element includes a center tube (64) and a blank (30) of a filter media (32). The center tube (64) has a first end and a second end. The blank (30) is folded into a plurality of triangles (38). Each triangle is disposed adjacent to another of the plurality of triangles (38) to form a series of triangular pleats (40) to form a pleated filter media (32). The pleated filter media (32) is disposed about the center tube (64). A cross sectional area of the pleated filter media (32) proximal to each of the first end and the second end is greater than a cross sectional area of the pleated filter media (32) at a point between the first end and the second end.
