Abstract:
An apparatus which includes an aspirated smoke detector, and a pre-filter coupled to an inflow port of the detector wherein the pre-filter carries a removable filter element. The filter element is configured such that when it is removed, fluid flow through the filter is blocked. When the filter element is present in the pre-filter, fluid flow through the filter is permitted.

Abstract:
A filter assembly is provided. The filter assembly includes a filter cartridge with a containment bag including a vent port and a support housing, including a split lid.
Abstract:
A filter insert (10) comprising: a body portion (12) and a closed-ended tube (14), an open end of which is sealingly affixed around the periphery of the body portion (12); an inlet aperture (16) and an outlet aperture (18) each aperture communicating via a through hole in the body portion (12) with the interior of the tube (14); a filter medium (20) located within the tube (14) and being sealingly interposed between the inlet aperture (16) and the outlet aperture (18), wherein the tube (14) is at least partially manufactured of a flexible plastics material, and wherein the body portion (12) is relatively rigid.
Abstract:
A filter module includes an axially extending central channel, a first hollow adapter having an interior through which the central channel extends, a second hollow adapter having an interior through which the central extends, one or more filter cells positioned between the first and second adapters and around the central channel, and an enclosure. The enclosure has a first retainer ring mounted around the first adapter, a second retainer ring mounted around the second adapter, and an envelope which is sealed to the first and second retainer rings and extends around the one or more filter cells.
Abstract:
The replaceable, outside-in flow filter element with integral annular trap provides a simple, efficient, tubular filter element that combines the advantages of inside out-flow and outside-in flow filters. The element includes end caps with pleated filter media extending there between. A solid tube is secured between the end caps in a position spaced radially outward from the media. The annular space between the media and the tube forms an integral, lateral, outer trap for containing filtered out particulate matter. The trap allows the particulate to be removed with the used filter element during conventional replacement. The inlet end cap includes openings spaced from an end of the filter media whereby a portion of the openings overlap the media in plan view such that inflow through this overlapping portion of the openings will flow radial outward in the space between the openings and the filter media to the annular space.
Abstract:
A drinking water filter assembly has a filter cartridge which includes a filter element contained in a pressure vessel for unitary disposal, the cartridge received on a base containing attachment fittings for ease in installation and replacement with limited exposure to contaminants during a filter change. A flow powered flow meter is provided which measures the quantity of flow through the filter for alerting the user to replace the filter cartridge.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a filter module, whose casing unit comprises a media-tight sleeve (30, 30)null and two retaining rings (32, 34, 34)null, the sleeve (30, 30)null being fixed to the retaining rings (32, 34, 34null) in a media-tight manner and each retaining ring (32, 34, 34null) being mounted on an adapter (24, 26, 26null). The sleeve (30, 30null) consists of a flexible and/or elastic material. Said sleeve prevents a contamination of the filter housing. The invention also relates to an installation kit for installing at least one filter module of this type in a filter housing and to a filter device.
Abstract:
A fluid filtration apparatus includes a housing structure having an internal flow path through which a fluid to be filtered may be flowed, a filtration structure operably interposed in the internal flow path and a liner element disposed between an interior side surface of a side wall of the housing structure and the filtration structure operably interposed in the internal flow path.
Abstract:
A filter adapter and filter cartridge for a filter assembly for removing particulate matter from an aqueous flow by means of a filter vessel having a support housing, a removable top, an input port for the aqueous flow, an exit port for the aqueous flow and an internal seal. The filter assembly includes a filter adapter configured similarly to the housing and sized to be substantially entirely received within the housing and sealingly engage the internal seal of the housing. A filter cartridge is configured similarly to the filter adapter and is sized to be substantially entirely received within the filter adapter and to simultaneously engage the filter vessel top and sealingly engage the filter adapter outlet. A biasing spring is located between the filter cartridge and the filter adapter. Securing the filter vessel top to the filter vessel housing causes the filter cartridge to simultaneously compress the biasing spring in the filter adapter, form a seal with the filter adapter outlet, and form a seal between the filter adapter and the internal seal of the filter vessel housing, whereby the filter adapter may be installed in the filter vessel for an extended period and repeatedly during the extended period, the filter cartridge may be installed within the filter adapter to seal the cartridge to the filter adapter and the filter adapter to the filter vessel, aqueous flow may be directed through the filter medium, and the cartridge may be removed and discarded.
