Abstract
A method of manufacturing a fibre glass filter medium, particularly useful for demisters, and ensuring relatively small flow resistances. The method comprises preliminary cutting the fibre glass into 30-50 mm lengths, and then removing the contaminants by means of elevated temperature. Fibre glass thus pretreated is mixed with 15-40% wt. of polyester fibre, after which a fibrous mat is formed, the mat being compacted and joined by needling and the mat is burnt at a temperature barely sufficient to destruct the admixed polyester fibre.
Description
SPECIFICATION
Method of manufacturing a filter medium
This in vision relates to a method of manufacturing a filter m -m, m, particularly made from fibre glass and intended especially for demisting and dust and soot extraction from fluids at elevated temperature condi tions and with chemically corrosive material present.
Known filter media used for this purpose are made from various fibres forming a felted fibrous bed placed in baskets or cassettes with openwork walls enabling he fluid to be purified to flow ti rough filter medium placed inside them.
Wllen producing such filter media it is difficultto obtain a required, uniformly dense, packing bed, the fregilefibre, e.g., fibre glass, crumbling and thus adversel t affecting the flow resistances.
Inorderto remove mist and dust from fluids containing chemically corrosive materials, filter media are produced from polyamide fibres, from
PTFE, as well as from fibre glass coated for example with graphite or with silicones, and shaped to form a bed having a thickness as required and then undergoing needling to make its structure stable. However, filter media thus obtained are expensive andtheiruse is restricted to temperature conditions not resulting in destruction or deformation of the fibre material which they are made from.
The present invention aims to overcome or at least mitigate such disadvantages by providing a method of manufacturing a filter medium which would be resistant to chemical corrosion and to elevated temperature, and which would exhibit a uniform packing density and consequently a low differentia- tion of flow resistances.
The present invention provides a method of manu ï-aciuring a filter medium, wherein fibre glass cut into '!0-50 n.m lengths is soaked at 300-450 C for a time sufficient to remcvetheflbrous preparation, after which 15 405ó wt. of polyesterflbre is added, the said polyester fibre having a diameter similar to that of the fibre glass used, and wherein after both fibres are mixed .ogether a ribrous bed is formed, the said fibrous bed being then compacted a thickness of 5-20 mm and joined by needling, aftervihich the filter meatiun î thus obtained is exposed to elevated temperature conditions sufficient to destruct the polyester fibre.
According to the invention, there is thus provided a method of manufactunng a filter medium, particularly for use in demisters or dust extractors, by forming a fibre glass bed and then compacting and needling it, which comprises preliminary cutting the fibre glass into 30-50 mm lengths, then soaking them at 300450 C for a time ensuring the fibrous preparation to be removed thermally. Fibre glass thus prepared is then
mixed with polyesterfibres, their amount being 15-40% wt. based on the fibre glass weight, the polyester fibres having a diameter close to the fibre glass which is used.After both fibres are thoroughly
mixed together, a fibrous bed is formed from them, which is then compacted so as to become 5-20 mm thick, afterwhich the bed is joined by needling it (by the well known needling procedure), and a filter medium thus obtained is then exposed to an elevated temperature barelysufficientto destructthe polyester fibre.
The filter medium obtained by the method ofthe invention may be reinforced mechanically, preferably during the fibrous bed formation, by adding a cloth or gauze made from a material which is resistant to the filter medium operating conditions, the cloth or gauze being placed either on one or on both sides of the fibrous bed, or between two such beds, and then joined using a well-known method, e.g. by quilting.
This invention will be further described with refer encetothefollowing illustrative Examples.
Example 1 1 part (weight) of fibre glass, 8Sum dia, cut into about 50 mm lengths,
2 parts (weight) of fibre glass, 10 pm dia, cut into about 40 mm lengths,
2 parts (weight) fibre glass, 15 pm, cut into about 50 mm lengths, were soaked at 4200C for 1 hour, and then polyester fibres of 15 lim dia were added, in an amount of 20% wt. based on the fibre glass. After the components were mixed together, a fibrous bed was formed, preferably in an air stream, the bed being compacted and needled on its one side, three times, as a result of which a bed was obtained which was 10 mm thick by means of 100 needlings per 1 cm2.The bed thus prepared was then burnt, the burning temperature permitting destruction of the polyester fibre additive, to obtain the filter medium.
Example 2
Fibre glass of 20 pm dia was cut into about 40 mm lengths and soaked at 450 C for 30 minutes. The fibre glass thus pretreated was then mixed with polyester fibre of 20 pm die, the amount of the polyester fibre being 30% w-. based on the fibre glass, and a fibrous bed was formed from this mixture in an air stream, the fibrous bed being hen compacted end needled twice by means of 150 needlings per 1 cm2, on both sides separately, as a result of which a fibrous bed 6 mm thick was obtained The fibrous bed thus produced was then burnt at a #emperature enabling destruction of the polyester fibre additive, after which a fibre glass cloth was applied on it and joined by quilting.
Afilter medium obtained according to the invention is very efficient and convenient in use, in particularly exhibiting an increased heat resistance and mechanical strength, as well as a structure ensuring lowerflow
resistance values than those earlier assumed for such
media.
