Abstract:
Disclosed is an apparatus for exhausting impurities included in a fluid, the apparatus including: a filtering net installation body; an impurity filtering net body; a fluid inflow pipe; a fluid exhaust pipe; a ball valve; and an air chamber housing (80) detachably assembled with a connecting part (70), which is inserted into and fixed to an inner periphery of an upper part of a hollow part (12) of the filtering net installation body (10), wherein the air chamber housing (80) includes an assembling part (82) assembled with the connector (70) and a collector (84) which is formed integrally with the assembling part (82) so as to communicate with the assembling part (82) and allows compressed air to be collected into the collector (82). In the apparatus, when a ball valve disposed at an intersection point between a fluid inflow pipe and a impurity exhaust pipe of a filtering net installation body is moved to a position where impurities is discharged so that supply of fluid is cut off, impurities piled up on the interior of the impurity exhaust pipe and fluid remaining therein are rapidly discharged outside through the impurity exhaust pipe due to pressure of compressed air collected into the interior of an air chamber housing positioned at an upper part of the filtering net installation body so that impurities are easily removed.
Abstract:
A filter cartridge assembly includes a filter cartridge having a generally cylindrical filter medium which defines a cylindrically shaped core space, and a pair of end caps fixed to opposite ends of the filter medium. Most preferably, the filter cartridge is "coreless" in that it is not provided with an integral support core structure. At least one of the end caps (e.g., the proximal end cap) is annular and has an interior cylindrical surface defining an interior space in alignment with the core space. A truncated generally conically shaped seal skirt is operatively associated with the annular end caps. The filter cartridge is sleeved over reusable support core structure which includes a base having a truncated conically shaped seal skirt, and a tubular perforated rigid core element fixed at one end to the base. The annular end-cap and the base of the support core structure are removably mechanically coupled to one another, most preferably by being threadably interconnected. In such a manner, the seal skirt is sealingly engaged with the seal skirt of the base. The base of the support core structure most preferably is provided with a protruding seat boss which carries seal rings (e.g., conventional O-rings). The seat boss is thereby adapted to being removably, but sealingly, seated within an internal seat cup structure of a conventional filter housing.
Abstract:
A perforated metal center tube is provided for use within an oil, fuel, or hydraulic filter. The tube is fabricated from a perforated metallic sheet formed into a cylinder in which opposite edges thereof are mutually engaged with one another to form a longitudinal multi-layered lockseam. The lockseam is mechanically clinched to inhibit slippage of the mutually engaged edges without the need for welding, soldering or otherwise chemically or adhesively bonding the lockseam. A series of circumferential beads are provided at spaced locations along the length of the tube to provide structural reinforcement. Each bead is formed through lockseam without generating slippage or disengagement of the first and second edges relative to one another. The beads advantageously provide the tube with sufficient structural integrity to withstand typical filtration pressures, with a metallic sheet of relatively thin gauge.
Abstract:
A method for recovering crystals from a crystal-containing slurry, which comprises supplying the slurry to a rotary filter having a rotating cylindrical filter medium, filtering the supplied slurry in a filtering region to retain the crystals on the filter medium and washing the filter cake formed on the rotating filter medium repeatedly in a plurality of washing regions by spraying a washing liquid onto the cake in each region by supplying any one of washing regions on the aft side in the rotating direction of the filter medium with the spent washing liquid of the washing region adjacent to said one washing region on the fore side in the rotating direction.
Abstract:
An improved strainer device has a screen which receives a solid/mixture from a feed container for separation. To insure that an uneven flow of the mixture over the screen does not occur due to, for example, a non-level mounting, inlet rushing or turbulence, a weir structure is provided which raises the water mixture level above the screen by a predetermined height.
Abstract:
The invention pertains to a device to separate solid materials from a stream of liquid, particularly from cooling water. In the case of the known devices, difficulties occur in cleaning the filter from fibrous contaminants generally or starting with a certain size. The subject device draws off fibrous as well as coarse grained contaminants equally well.A preferably funnel shaped filter 3 with a suction device 4 running at an angle to the surface line 6 of the funnel filter 3 is arranged in a pipe shaped housing. The inclination creates a force component 19 which transports the coarse grained contaminants to the tip of the filter where they are drawn off by the suction opening 8 of the suction rotor 7. The fibrous contaminants are drawn off by the suction device 4.
Abstract:
An improved method for separating solid particles from liquids, such as dewatering and thickening of sludge collected in a container (1), involves the use of at least one drainage unit (9) having doubled screened jacket walls (25, 26) defining a dewatering chamber (10). The liquid relieved of solids within the chamber is subjected to a turbulent motion acting against said screened jacket walls for obstruction of the solids deposition at the wall surfaces of the chamber facing the sludge in the container. The turbulent motion is obtained by a forced fluid F introduced in the chamber through one or more tubes (30, 31). The fluid may favourably be in form of compressed air or water returned from the reject system (14, 16).
Abstract:
The self-cleaning filter particularly for high-viscosity pasty fluids has a fixed body having a substantially cylindrical elongated chamber in which a filtration drum is supported and defines a central region, at one end of which there is an inlet for the fluid to be filtered, and an outer annular region, at the other end of which there is a duct for the removal of the filtered fluid; a shaft is axially supported and rotationally actuated in the chamber and has a helical crest the profile whereof is suitable for grazing the inner surface of the drum to remove therefrom the impurities which are present and is suitable for pushing the fluid toward an impurity discharge duct arranged at the other end of the chamber, the constant cleaning of the drum being suitable for keeping constant the pressure drop on the filter.
Abstract:
In the method for detecting the point of immersion or emergence of a solid or porous body into or out of a liquid, surface waves are generated in the liquid and the light coming from a light source and reflected on the surface of the liquid is scanned photoelectrically. Only the alternating light component of the reflected light is detected here and the rectified alternating light signal is compared with a preset threshold value. When the actual value falls below or exceeds the threshold value, a control signal is then generated which can be utilized for control or regulating actions. For detecting the alternating light component, the photoelectric scanning signal is differentiated. Advantageously, scanning of the surface of the liquid is carried out at a plurality of points. The resulting rectified alternating light components can subsequently be added up, and the total value can be compared with the preset threshold value.
Abstract:
A sorting apparatus for sorting fiber suspensions heavily laden with rubbish and other contaminants, which sorter has two successive sorting units each having a ring-shaped strainer space, which are likewise successive, and an accepts space with a rotationally symmetric strainer between the accepts space and strainer space. The first sorting unit is pressurized above atmospheric pressure; diluting water is fed to the second unit strainer space; and a rotating plate is mounted between the first and second sorting units to control the flow between the strainer spaces.
