Abstract:
A device for filtering ballast water which performs filtering by installing a filter element having a conical shape in a concentric circle direction inside the device for filtering ballast water that accommodates a filter portion, and introducing ballast water from a lower end of the device for filtering and passing same through the filter element inside the device for filtering, and for discharging backwash water containing foreign substances that are inside a filter by way of differential pressure, which is created by a driving portion communicating with a filter element by rotating a suction portion that is located on a lower end of the device for filtering. Particularly, the present invention relates to a high-efficiency candle-type device for filtering ballast water having a high-density filter structure, wherein the driving portion is positioned on a lower portion of a housing so that more filter elements can be accommodated inside the housing.
Abstract:
A variety of improved hydroclone based fluid filtering systems are described. The hydroclones generally include a tank having an internal chamber and a filter (preferably a surface filter) that is positioned within the internal chamber. The filter defines a filtered fluid chamber within the internal chamber of the tank. The hydroclone may be operated such that a vortex of flowing fluid is formed between the chamber wall and the filter with the filter being located in the center of the vortex. With this arrangement, the filter acts as a cross-flow filter. In one aspect of the invention, a circulating cleaning assembly is provided in the hydroclone region. In yet another aspect of the invention, improved hydroclone intake structures are described.
Abstract:
A coreless and spirally wound non-woven filter element is provided. The filter element includes at least one band of base media having a selected porosity and an interlay having a different porosity within at least one band of base media. The presence of the interlay in the filter element can create additional surface area within the contiguous construction of a filter element for filtration. This interlay can also create the ability to change direction of flow and to increase the deposition of specifically sized contaminants.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a sieving device 10 for separating liquid constituents from a slurry 9 containing liquid and solid constituents, the sieving device being configured to be floatingly inserted into the slurry 9, comprising: a tank for collecting the separated liquid constituents, at least one sieve 3 for separating the liquid constituents, the sieve forming at least part of the wall of the tank, at least one vibrator 5 fastened by means of a vibration decoupling device 6 to the sieving device 10, and at least one plunger 4 which is connected with one end to the vibrator 5 and with the other end directly to the sieve 3 so as to directly cause the sieve to vibrate.
Abstract:
A filter device has a filter housing of connected housing parts with an inlet for unfiltered fluid and an outlet for filtered fluid. A filter element arranged in the filter housing separates the inlet seal-tightly from the outlet. A releasable anchoring device connects the housing parts. The anchoring device has a rotary insert having a guide and anchoring section and an interacting receptacle with an insertion/removal section. The rotary insert of the first housing part is arranged in the receptacle of the second housing part. The guide and anchoring section has a first rotary state in which it is positively guided for gliding in the insertion/removal section to guide the housing parts when being connected or separated. In a second rotary state the guiding and anchoring section is secured in an anchoring section of the receptacle for securing the housing parts. The insertion/removal section passes into the anchoring section.
Abstract:
A strainer is disclosed for filtering a flow stream passing therethrough, while reducing vortex shedding and related minimizing noise and vibration. The strainer includes an elongated member which defines a generally longitudinal axis, and having an opening at one end and a closed end at the opposite end. The opening has a greater dimension than the closed end. The elongated member includes a plurality of rows of apertures located between the opening and the closed end, with the apertures of each row being of generally equal dimension and located in a plane generally perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The pluralities of rows of apertures are of distinct dimensions and form a semi-random pattern such that a flow stream passing therethrough causes distinct frequencies associated with each row, which frequencies generally reduce or cancel any pulsation resulting therefrom.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a connecting element for hydraulic circuits. The device comprises a body provided with one channel having an inlet section and an outlet section, the channel being connectable with a fluid supply line, said body being further provided with an aperture which opens, to the outside, into a seat located in the channel. The devices also comprises a filter element insertable in a removable manner into the seat, through the aperture, in order to intercept the fluid in the channel. Advantageously the filter element is defined by at least two portions, coupled with angled or radiused joints to define an internal volume, one portion having a different geometry from the other.
Abstract:
The oil strainer has a filtering portion and a flexible sleeve portion to which the filtering portion is connected. The flexible sleeve portion has a plurality of spigot-receiving slots on the upstream side of the strainer.
Abstract:
A filter device is disclosed. The device includes at least one substantially flat filter media that may be encapsulated between non-permeable films. Some embodiments comprise ports for introducing a fluid to be filtered and for evacuating the filtered fluid. Various substrates may be employed therein in cooperation with the at least one filter media to enhance device performance. Also disclosed are various apparatuses configured to contain at least one filter device.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a fluid system for a pump circuit (10), in particular a hydraulic high-pressure pump circuit, having a function block (12), in the housing of which fluid-conducting paths extend and to which valve components (32, 46) can be connected at least partially. The filter device is an at least partially integrated constituent part of the function block of the fluid system as a result of the fact that a filter device (46) with its filter housing (56) can be connected to the function block (12) in such a way that at least one filter element (70) is received in the installation space (72) of the function block.
