Abstract:
An expandable well screen has a desirable thin-wall construction together with a simplified fabrication method. In fabricating the screen, a flexible sheet of metal mesh filter media is diffusion bonded to an inner side of a perforated metal sheet which is then deformed to a tubular shape to form a filter structure having an outer perforated tubular shroud interiorly lined with the filter media. The tubular filter structure is telescoped onto a perforated base pipe and has its opposite ends sealingly secured thereto to complete the expandable well screen.
Abstract:
A tubular filter element has a filtering material extending over a whole length and having in its interior a hollow chamber so that during a filtering operation the filtering material is loaded from outside with a medium to be filtered which passes through the filtering material from outside inwardly to the hollow chamber, a back wash aid arranged in the hollow chamber, a coaxial inner tube located in the hollow chamber of the filtering material and arranged at least at some locations with a distance from the filtering material so as to form at least one intermediate chamber, the inner tube having a tubular wall and being provided at least substantially in a lower longitudinal region with throughgoing passages extending through the tube wall and formed so that, for back washing of the filtering material a back washing medium is supplied opposite to a filtering operation on the one hand into an interior of the inner tube and through the throughgoing passages and on the other hand also into the at least one intermediate chamber and from the latter from inside outwardly through the filtering material.
Abstract:
A filtering device includes a container having an inlet for introducing liquid to be treated, an annular multi-layered prepacked screen assembly provided in the container and having an outlet for treated liquid. The screen assembly includes three or more cylindrical screens having different diameters and bieng coazially disposed in the container with their axes extending vertically in the container. An anulus is formed between the respective cyldinrical screens. Two or more different filter materials performing different filtering functions are filled one in each of the annuluses between the cylindrical screens.
Abstract:
The invention is a spin-on type filter with a reclaimed permanent filter casing and permanent filtering media that are washable and reusable. There are three distinct progressive filtering systems that function simultaneously,but separately within one filter housing, one is the full flow filtering at 10 micron capability while the other is in its bypass fine filtering mode at 1 to 3 micron filtering capability. In addition, a safety full flow filter can be activated to filter the return oil while the main full flow medium is fouled. Each system can be implemented with multiple media. The main body of the filter, which comprises the filter head and the media, can be separated easily for servicing from its casing which is designed to attach to the engine. Fine stainless steel cloths are utilized as filtering media which can last the life of an engine Furthermore, magnets arc utilized to trap suspending metal filings in oil flow. The design of the main filter body as such is that any used conventional filter canister can be simply adapted to it or a new filter canister casing can be utilized whichever is the advantage at the time of installation and of in production.
Abstract:
A filter media for physically separating agglomerations of abrasive particles from a chemical-mechanical polishing (CMP) process slurry stream. The media is provided as being formed of at least one fabric sheet having a first and second surface defining a first thickness dimension of the sheet therebetween, with the fabric being woven of polymeric monofilament fibers. In service, the slurry stream is supplied to the first side of the filter media, and is passed through the media to the second side thereof such that at least a substantial portion of the agglomerations of abrasive particles are retained on the first side of the media.
Abstract:
A filter element for filtering a particle-containing paint composition or a particle loading slurry composition which is a precursor to a particle-containing paint composition is provided. The filtration element comprises at least one filtration layer formed from woven polymer fibers and having substantially uniform pores and two spacer layers. The spacer layers have raised projections to create a space between adjacent spacer layers having contacting projections. The filtration element has a pleated or spirally wound configuration.
Abstract:
A back-flushable filter cartridge includes a cylindrical exterior fluid-permeable filter media cage, a cylindrical interior fluid-permeable core element coaxially disposed within the filter media cage so as to establish therebetween an interior space, and longitudinally pleated filter media surrounding the core element and disposed in the interior space such that individual pleats thereof extend substantially radially outwardly from the core element. An annular space is established between outer longitudinal folds of the pleated filter media and the filter media cage. The pleated filter media is radially expandable into the established annular space to allow individual adjacent pleats of the pleated filter media to circumferentially separate from one another in response to fluid flowing in a radial direction from the core element toward the filter media cage.
Abstract:
A filter includes a cylindrical filter element having a longitudinal axis, first and second end surfaces, and a plurality of longitudinal pleats. Each of the pleats has a pair of legs with first and second surfaces. The pleats are in a laid-over state in which the first surface of each leg is in intimate contact with the first surface of an adjoining leg and the second surface of each leg is in intimate contact with the second surface of an adjoining leg over substantially the entire height of each leg and over a continuous region extending for at least approximately 50% of the axial length of the filter element. An impervious end cap is connected to the first end surface of the filter element.
Abstract:
The filter arrangement includes first end cap, second end cap, a cylindrical filter pack that has first and second ends and axially extending pleats disposed between the first and second ends, and a cylindrical non-perforated housing body that is disposed between the first and second end caps and about the cylindrical filter pack.
Abstract:
A pleated, all poly(tetra-fluoro ethylene) filter element (20) incorporating a poly(tetra-fluoro ethylene) filter membrane (24) is shown and described. The membrane is supported by an all poly(tetra-fluoro ethylene) paper (26) and (28), which permits filtrate to pass through the paper and across the poly(tetrafluoro ethylene) membrane. A sandwich is formed by placing a layer of poly(tetra-fluoro ethylene) filter membrane (24) between the two layers of poly(tetra-fluoro ethylene) support paper, (26) and (28), and the sandwich is then pleated prior to assembly around a core (14) and between end caps (12) and (18), which are bonded to the poly(tetra-fluoro ethylene) paper and poly(tetrafluoro ethylene) filter membrane by a hot-melt process.
