Definitions
- Filter element with a receiving space containing a desiccant and fluid filter
- the invention relates to a filter element for filtering a fluid, in particular oil, with a receiving space which is at least partially delimited by a wall through which the fluid can flow, and in which a desiccant for removing water from the fluid is accommodated.
- the invention further relates to a fluid filter with such a filter element.
- various processes can cause water to accumulate in the fluid.
- the water can reach the system through air exchange with the environment and can be accumulated in the fluid.
- Water can arise as a reaction product.
- Free water from the environment can also be entered into the system.
- the water can be present in the fluid as dissolved or free water.
- the water in the fluid can have undesirable effects such as corrosion of fluid-carrying components of the system, an increase or decrease in the electrical conductivity of the fluid and / or a shortening of the service life of the fluid, i.e. the shortening of service intervals.
- ice crystals can form that block the system.
- the fluid is repeatedly and / or continuously supplied to a component of the system, for example for cooling and / or lubricating the component, it must typically be ensured that the fluid does not carry excessively large and / or excessively large particulate contaminants.
- filter elements with a filter medium through which the fluid can flow are used.
- a refillable filter dryer arrangement has become known from DE 36 07 569 A1.
- the arrangement comprises a housing in which an exchangeable core with a central bore is arranged, which can be a filter, dryer or sieve element or a combination thereof.
- the core consists of two separate sections, which are arranged axially one above the other.
- a conical combination part with a sieve projects into the lower section of the core. The core can be replaced if it is dirty, clogged or exhausted.
- Each filter dryer cartridge comprises a cartridge housing with a cup-shaped lower part, the bottom of which is provided with a large number of perforations.
- a thin layer of felt is placed on the bottom of the base; then the interior of the lower part is filled with a loose bed of desiccant.
- a second thin layer of felt is placed on top of the desiccant bed.
- a lid with a large number of perforations is then put on.
- the desiccant can be a mixture of Molecular sieve material and alumina.
- EP 1 028 299 A2 also discloses a filter dryer for stationary refrigeration systems with two essentially identical filter dryer cartridges.
- Each of these filter dryer cartridges comprises a hollow cylindrical cartridge housing which is delimited by an inner and an outer cylinder wall and a lower and an upper annular end face. One of these end faces is designed as a removable cover.
- a loose bed of filter drying agent is housed in the interior of the cartridge housing.
- the cartridge housings have openings in the cylinder walls such that the beds located inside the filter dryer cartridges can be flowed through essentially radially.
- a filter element for filtering a liquid fluid, in particular oil has a filter medium.
- the filter medium serves to retain particulate contamination that the fluid flowing into the filter element carries with it.
- the filter medium surrounds a longitudinal axis of the filter element in a ring shape.
- the fluid can flow through the filter medium in a direction radial to the longitudinal axis. This allows a filter medium with a large effective filter area to be accommodated in a small installation space. A large filter performance can therefore be achieved despite the compact dimensions of the filter element.
- the filter medium can be flowed through from radially inside to radially outside or, preferably, from radially outside to radially inside. When flow from radially inside to radially outside, the filter medium can be surrounded by a cage to prevent inflation of the filter medium.
- the filter element has a receiving space which is delimited at least in sections by a wall through which the fluid can flow.
- the receiving space is arranged such that the fluid flows through the receiving space and the filter medium in series or in parallel.
- the receiving space is designed so that the fluid can flow through it, ie the receiving space has at least one fluid entry area and at least one fluid exit area, wherein the entry area and exit area can be arranged directly adjacent or spaced, for example opposite one another.
- the receiving space can be flowed through radially or axially.
- a desiccant for removing water from the fluid is accommodated in the accommodating space. The desiccant permanently retains water dissolved in the fluid in the receiving space. When leaving the receiving space, the fluid at least has a reduced water content.
- the drying agent preferably enables complete drying of the fluid.
- the wall through which the receiving space can flow can have a sieve and / or a nonwoven, for example a spunbond or a meltblown.
- the wall through which flow can pass can be formed from a plastic grid and / or a metal grid. Such walls can retain the desiccant, in particular also abrasion or fragments thereof, in the receiving space.
- the filter medium and the receiving space containing the desiccant are inextricably linked to one another.
- the filter medium and the receiving space form an inseparable unit with the desiccant.
- the filter medium and the receiving space with the desiccant can be replaced together with little effort, especially with a few simple steps. Cumbersome disassembly or assembly processes are not required.
- a replacement of the filter element may be necessary when the water absorption capacity of the desiccant in the receiving space is exhausted, i.e. when the desiccant cannot absorb any more water.
- An exchange may also be necessary if the filter medium is clogged with particulate contaminants.
- the wall delimiting the receiving space can be directly and permanently connected to the filter medium.
- An end plate can be provided for the permanent connection of the filter medium to the receiving space.
- the end plate can hold the filter medium and the receiving space on one end.
- two end disks can be provided which surround the filter medium and the receiving space on opposite end faces.
- the end plate can be glued, welded or molded onto the filter medium and the wall of the receiving space.
- the filter medium can also form the wall of the receiving space.
- Inextricably linked means in particular that they cannot be detached from one another without being destroyed.
- the receiving space in particular, cannot be moved and / or rotated relative to the filter medium.
- the receiving space with the desiccant is typically net concentric to the filter medium.
- the filter medium can advantageously be a depth filtration medium.
- the desiccant can be received in a desiccant bag, which is arranged in the receiving space. This can make it easier to bring the desiccant into the receiving space.
- the desiccant bag can retain the desiccant, in particular fragments and / or abrasion thereof, in the receiving space.
- the terms "removing water from the fluid” and “drying the fluid” are used synonymously in the context of the present invention.
- the fluid to be dried is typically a liquid which is also in the "dry", ie anhydrous, state in the liquid state.
- the receiving space with the desiccant can be arranged radially within the filter medium. This allows the volume surrounded by the annular filter medium to be used. Alternatively, the receiving space with the desiccant can be arranged radially outside the filter medium. As a result, a larger volume of the receiving space can be set up. Comparatively much desiccant can be accommodated in the external receiving space. This enables a stronger drying of the fluid and / or a drying of fluids with a particularly large amount of water.
- the receiving space is typically itself ring-shaped and surrounds the filter element on the outside. In the aforementioned filter elements, the filter element and the receiving space with the drying medium can in principle be flowed through in series.
- the receiving space preferably extends in the axial direction along the longitudinal axis substantially over the same length as the filter medium.
- the receiving space is basically arranged along the longitudinal axis in overlap with the filter medium.
- the receiving space and the filter medium are in the same position (height) when viewed in the axial direction of the longitudinal axis. This enables a particularly short construction of the filter element along the longitudinal axis. Lengths which differ from one another by at most 20%, preferably at most 10%, can be regarded as essentially the same length.
- axial top and bottom sides of the filter medium and the receiving space can be arranged at the same height with respect to the longitudinal axis.
- the receiving space is arranged in the axial direction along the longitudinal axis following the filter medium, preferably immediately thereafter.
- the filter element can be made particularly thin (slim) in the radial direction.
- the receiving space and the filter element can be arranged and designed for a serial or for a parallel flow.
- an outer diameter of the receiving space and an outer diameter of the filter medium are essentially the same size.
- a filter housing for receiving the Filterele element can then be particularly simple, in particular cylindrical. Outside diameters that differ from one another by at most 20%, preferably at most 10%, can be regarded as essentially the same size.
- the wall of the receiving space axially adjoining the filter medium can be designed to be fluid-tight on the outer circumference, at least in sections. This allows control of the flow through the filter element.
- a serial flow through the receiving space and the filter medium can be directed through a completely fluid-tight wall of the receiving space on the outer circumference.
- the wall of the receiving space can be fluid-tight at least in sections on the end face. With that, the wall on at least part of the face of the receiving space oriented transversely to the longitudinal axis cannot be flowed through by the fluid. As a result, an at least partially radial flow through the receiving space with the desiccant can be set up.
- the fluid can preferably be in a substantially rectilinear, radial flow through both the filter medium and the Step through the receiving space with the desiccant.
- the wall can be designed to be fluid-tight on one or both end faces.
- the desiccant can have an adsorber material.
- the drying agent can advantageously have a porous crystal structure, in particular a molecular sieve, preferably a zeolite molecular sieve.
- Silica is particularly suitable for drying fluids with high concentrations of dissolved water. Molecular sieves are advantageously used at lower concentrations of dissolved water in the fluid.
- the adsorber material can have a framework silicate.
- the desiccant can have various types of zeolite molecular sieves.
- the desiccant can have natural or synthetic zeolites.
- Silica gel (silica gel) can be in the form of aluminosilicate.
- the desiccant can have bentonite / clay minerals, for example containing aluminum oxide, calcium sulfate, potassium carbonate; The aforementioned desiccants can be regenerated.
- the drying agent can have non-regenerable bentonites / clay minerals, for example containing calcium, calcium hydride, calcium oxide, calcium sulfate, potassium hydroxide, copper sulfate, lithium aluminum hydride and / or sodium hydroxide.
- the molecular sieves typically have a mesh size (pore size) of 3 to 4 angstroms, so that water molecules can be taken up.
- the silica gels can have an average pore size of 25 nm or 65 nm.
- the drying agent in particular in the form of zeolite molecular sieves, can be in the form of a powder, for example with an average particle size of 5 pm to 10 gm (pure zeolite form).
- the drying agent in particular in the form of zeolite molecular sieves, in pearl form (for example 0.1 mm to 50 mm diameter), in rod form, as a hollow fiber membrane, as a mixture of polymer and drying agent, in press molds, as a solid and / or as a shaped body (in particular made of composite material), preferably with a sponge or honeycomb structure.
- the filter medium can be folded in a star shape. This allows a particularly large effective filter area to be set up.
- the fold size (measured in the radial direction) of a folded filter medium can be between 5 mm and 300 mm.
- the filter medium can be formed from wound. This simplifies production.
- a wound filter medium can be designed as a fleece, for example a meltblown or spunbond.
- a fluid filter with an above-described filter element according to the invention which is arranged in a filter housing of the fluid filter, also falls within the scope of the present invention. This enables the advantages of the filter element to be used for the filtration and drying of a fluid.
- a filter bowl and a cover of the filter housing can be connected to one another in a detachable or non-detachable manner.
- the filter housing does not necessarily have to be completely filled with fluid. This means that volume compensation can be achieved in the event of a temperature increase.
- a pressure compensation valve is preferably provided in the housing.
- a ventilation and / or ventilation valve can be provided.
- the fluid filter can have a bypass valve that allows fluid flow past the filter medium and / or the receiving space with the desiccant when an allowable pressure difference between a raw side and a clean side of the fluid filter is exceeded. This can ensure that a device with the fluid filter is provided with (sufficient amount) of fluid even when the flow through the fluid filter is restricted or suspended. This can be the case if the viscosity of the fluid increases at low temperatures and / or if the filter medium is clogged and / or if the water absorption capacity of the desiccant is exhausted.
- a filter bowl of the filter housing and a cover of the filter housing can be inseparably connected to one another.
- the fluid filter then forms a unit to be replaced as a whole. This simplifies service, i.e. the replacement of the filter element.
- At least one inlet opening and one outlet opening for the fluid are preferably each formed in the cover. This can simplify the connection of the fluid filter to a device that is to be supplied with filtered and dried fluid.
- An inlet opening and an outlet opening for the fluid can be formed on opposite end faces of the filter housing.
- the fluid filter can then advantageously be integrated into a line, for example a hose line, for the fluid.
- the fluid filter can be retrofitted into a line of an existing device.
- the filter housing can have a housing cover that can be attached to a filter head with a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet.
- the housing cover is typically cup-shaped.
- the housing cover basically has no openings in its wall through which the fluid filter can operate.
- the housing cover can have a drain opening that is closed during operation in its wall. The drain opening can be opened before replacing the filter element to drain the fluid from the fluid filter.
- the housing cover lies against the filter head in a fluid-tight manner.
- the housing cover can be detached from the filter head.
- the housing cover can have a threaded section in order to screw it to the filter head.
- An elastic element for example a spring, can be arranged in the filter housing such that the desiccant is arranged essentially immovably in the receiving space during operation.
- the elastic element is arranged between the housing cover and the desiccant or between the desiccant and the filter bowl bottom.
- the elastic element avoids abrasion of the drying agent, in particular in the event that the drying agent is in the form of beads, since a relative movement of the beads is prevented or at least reduced.
- a filter element according to the invention or a fluid filter according to the invention can be installed in a device for receiving the fluid.
- the device contains the fluid.
