Definitions
- the present invention relates to a filter with membranes made of hollow fibers, in which the hollow fibers are arranged as a bundle in a tubular housing.
- the housing has an end cap at each end, the hollow fiber bundle being arranged between the ends of the housing, the ends of the hollow fiber bundle each having a support ring surrounding them and being potted with a potting compound, and the hollow fibers opening with open ends.
- Filters with membranes made of hollow fibers are used, inter alia, in the field of dialysis for a wide variety of purposes. Filters of this type are used, for example, for hemodialysis, in which blood is passed through the hollow fibers formed with semipermeable walls and dialysis fluid is conducted past the outside of the hollow fibers. Various convection and diffusion processes take place through the walls of the hollow fibers, which clean the blood and remove excess liquid. Furthermore, the electrolyte concentrations in the blood are conditioned and buffers such as bicarbonate or acetate are added to the blood. Filters of this type are also used in so-called haemc lltration, in which a substitution liquid is added to the blood.
- the blood is passed through the hollow fibers on the inside, but no dialysis fluid is passed on the outside of the hollow fibers.
- m filter is only removed from the blood with the help of a pressure difference across the membrane, ie the semi-permeable wall of the hollow fibers, excess fluid, in particular water, and waste products.
- the substitution fluid can be added to the blood either before the filter or after the filter.
- the filters mentioned which are then referred to as ultrafilters, can also be used to generate the suction liquid itself.
- dialysis fluid is passed through the hollow fibers and filtered through it by means of a pressure difference across the membrane or the semi-permeable walls, the dialysis fluid being stere-filtered by removing bacteria and endotoxins and other contamination products.
- the filters mentioned are, for example, hemodiafiltration, a combination of hemodialysis and hemoflltration, and plasmapheresis, in which the aqueous blood plasma is filtered out of the blood and returned to the blood after treatment. Such filters are also used in reverse osmosis.
- the filters mentioned are usually constructed such that the hollow fibers are combined as a loose bundle and arranged in a tubular housing.
- the housing has an end cap at each of its ends, the hollow fiber bundle being arranged between the ends of the housing, so that the end caps each cover the ends of the hollow fiber bundle.
- the ends of the hollow fiber bundle each have a support ring surrounding them and are cast into the ends of the housing by means of a casting compound.
- the hollow fibers combined in the hollow fiber bundle open-ended ends m the cavity formed between the end cap and the end of the hollow fiber bundle. It is thus possible, by arranging suitable inlets and outlets, to provide the various filter types, such as the aforementioned hemodialysis filters, hamofilters, hamodia filters, ultrafilters etc., in a known manner.
- the filters mentioned are disclosed in EP 0 305 687, EP 0 355 325 and EP 0 525 317.
- the filters mentioned have in common that a first fluid is passed internally through the semipermeable hollow fibers and that a second fluid is located outside the hollow fibers.
- This second fluid can either be passed through the housing and past the hollow fibers through suitable inlets and outlets, or it can, for example, be withdrawn from the first fluid by a pressure difference across the hollow fiber membrane and passed out of the housing through a suitable outlet.
- a filter with membranes made of hollow fibers in which the hollow fibers are arranged as a bundle in a tubular housing, and the housing has an end cap at each end, the hollow fiber bundle between the ends of the housing is arranged, the ends of the hollow fiber bundle each have a support ring surrounding them and are potted by means of a casting compound, and the hollow fibers are open-ended, in which the hollow fibers are not damaged by axial shrinkage.
- This object is achieved with a filter of the type mentioned, in which the end of the hollow fiber bundle is poured into the supporting ring essentially only by means of the casting compound.
- This provides a filter that is essentially insensitive to heat or steam sterilization. Insensitive is to be understood here in the sense that the inevitable shrinkage, and here in particular the axial shrinkage of the hollow fibers, do not lead to damage to the hollow fibers.
- the support ring then also has axially projecting lugs, which are preferably arranged on the side of the support ring facing the center of the housing, the lugs preferably being flexible are formed, the support ring is in particular axially movable.
- Compressive force is applied in the axial direction, so the lugs, for example, on an appropriately designed housing projection, are compressed or bent and the support ring is displaced axially in the direction of the pressing force until it rests on the housing projection with other parts or regions.
- the hollow fiber bundle is compressed by only two millimeters at each end, i.e. Moved in the direction of the middle of the housing, this results in a total compensation possibility of up to 4 millimeters for the hollow fibers.
- the axially projecting, flexible lugs can of course also have other dimensions and, for example, be longer, so that a greater compression of the hollow fiber bundle is possible by applying a compressive force to the support ring.
- the axially projecting lugs are bent or compressed and thus enable the support ring and thus the cast-in end of the hollow fiber bundle to move in the axial direction, ie relative to the filter housing.
- the potting compound may also only be inside the support ring in order to avoid a connection of the support ring to the housing.
- Any suitable material is suitable for the casting compound, such as, for example, polyurethane (PUR).
- the axially projecting, flexibly designed lugs can also be arranged in a suitable manner on the housing, and not on the support ring. This also provides the axial mobility of the support ring, which enables axial
- the hollow fiber bundle can either be axially compressed during the manufacturing process, as described in detail above. This makes it possible, so to speak, to compensate for axial shrinkage in advance, ie before it occurs. Or the hollow fiber bundle is not pre-compressed axially, and the axial shrinkage of the hollow fibers is compensated for at the same time as it occurs.
- the contracting hollow fibers pull the support rings, which are axially movable in the housing, in each case in the direction of the center of the housing, which is made possible by the axially projecting, flexibly designed lugs.
- the end cap is sealingly connected to the housing.
- the embodiment to be selected here depends on the chosen design of the filter.
- the sealing connection of the parts to each other is advantageously achieved by gluing or welding, or also by means of a seal between the parts.
- elastic sealing rings or the like are possible here.
- the sealing connection for sealing between the area with the first fluid and the area with the second fluid can also be made by gluing, welding or by means of suitable seals such as O-rings.
- the filter advantageously has an outlet and an outlet for a first fluid, and at least one
- the outlet for the first fluid is preferably arranged on the one end cap and the outlet for the first fluid on the other end cap, so that the first fluid can be passed into the housing in a simple manner, there through the hollow fiber bundle and on the other side can be led out of the housing again.
- the outlet for the second fluid can be arranged on an end cap or on the housing, depending on the intended use of the filter.
- the filter has an outlet for the second fluid, which is preferably arranged either on an end cap or on the housing.

- FIG. 5 continued, which shows an enlarged section of FIG. 4.
- the casting 80 has at its end directed towards the housing 3 gill means 84 which cooperate with a correspondingly formed projection on the housing 3 and thus fix the casting 80 on the housing 3, together with the projection 86 and the Stutzrmg 40, as will be explained in detail below. Furthermore, it can be clearly seen here that the casting 80 has, at its other end, gill means 88 which are designed with a correspondingly Interact the th area of the pouring lid 82 and fix the pouring lid 82 on the pouring ring 80.
- the flexible nose 42 of the support ring 40 is not deformed before the casting and before the axial upsetting and is seated on a housing projection 56.
- the free space between the shoulder 48 of the support arm 40 and the housing projection 52 and between the shoulder 50 of the support arm 40 and the housing projection 54 can also be clearly seen.
- the above-mentioned projection 86 of the casting ring 80 is seated on the shoulder 48 of the support ring 40.
- the shoulder 48 of the support ring 40 limits the movement of the projection 86 and thus of the casting ring 80 in the direction of the housing 3, that is to say the downward movement (FIG. 5 ⁇ , while the gill means 84 of the casting ring 80 restrict the movement of the casting ring 80 m from the direction 5, the movement upwards (FIG. 5).
- the projection 86 of the casting 80 limits the movement of the support sleeve 40 out of the housing 3, while the flexible nose 42 sits on the housing projection 56, the movement of the support ring 40 limits the housing 3 into it.
- the filter 100 is prepared for the introduction of the potting compound for potting the end of the hollow fiber bundle 19 or the hollow fibers 21 arranged therein.
- the casting compound is usually introduced through the outlet 15 of the housing 3 and by means of centrifugation, i.e. Rotation of the filter 100, m the Giessrmg 80 or pouring cover 82 pressed in order to shed the hollow fibers 21 together there and thus seal the Hohlf serbundel 19 at the ends.
- FIG. 6 is a longitudinal section at the end of the filter 100 m after the ends of the hollow fibers 21 have been potted with potting compound 70 and after the whole has been axially compressed Hollow fiber bundle 19 shown. Again, the same parts are identified by the same reference numerals. 6 that the potting compound 70 pours the ends of the hollow fibers 21 together, so that a solid, coherent end of the hollow fiber bundle 19 is formed.
- the potting compound 70 which is pressed onto the end region of the hollow fiber bundle 19 by means of centrifugal force, is distributed on the basis of the centrifugal force m in the manner shown here, the support member 40 together with the casting member 80 and the casting lid 82 forming the casting mold for the casting compound 70.
- FIG. 7 shows an enlarged detail from FIG. 6.
- identical parts are identified by the same reference symbols.
- the upsetting process moves the end of the hollow fiber bundle 3 m in the direction of the center of the housing 19 m.
- the flexible lugs 42 which are seated on the housing projection 56, are bent and m the recess 58 of the housing 3 is pushed into them.
- the hollow fiber bundle 19 is axially displaced until the shoulders 48 and 50 rest on the correspondingly formed housing projections 52 and 54, as shown in FIG. 7.
- the arrangement of the housing protrusions 52 and 54 of the housing 3 specifies the maximum axial compressibility of the hollow fiber bundle 19.
- the housing projections 52 and 54 are therefore with regard to the desired axial compression of the hollow fiber bundle 19 and to be arranged accordingly, taking into account the material of the hollow fibers 21.
- the axial compression of the hollow fiber bundle 19 takes place by applying a compressive force to the pouring cover 82 and / or to the pouring ring 80.
- the hollow fiber bundle 19 is compressed in the longitudinal direction, the flexible lugs 42 are bent and the recess 58 is pushed in, and the end of the hollow fiber bundle 19 the housing 3 is pushed in a little. Since this is carried out simultaneously on both sides of the housing 3, the hollow fibers 21 are relaxed by a few millimeters and consequently lie loosely in the hollow fiber bundle 19 or housing 3. This gives them the possibility of easily shrinking a few millimeters without tearing or other damage to compensate.
- the relative mobility of the support 40 or the hollow fiber bundle 19 with respect to the housing 3 is given, since the sealing compound 70 is essentially only located within the support ring 40.
- the compression of the hollow fiber bundle 19 is made possible, which later enables the compensation of longitudinal shrinkage of the hollow fibers 21.
- This longitudinal shrinkage of the hollow fibers 21 is the result of the final heat sterilization of the finished filter 100 and occurs in particular in the case of synthetic hollow fibers.
