Definitions

  • the invention relates to a filter element of a fluid filter according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such filter elements are known and are in practical use, in particular as air filters for Vern mecanicskraftmascninen and in industrial plants.
  • filter elements are predominantly used in air filters which have a nonwoven fabric, in particular made of glass, cellulose or synthetic fibers.
  • the filter edium In order to increase the effective filter area compared to the inflow area of the filter (cross-sectional area of the inlet opening), the filter edium is known to be folded into a meandering shape to form essentially parallel fold walls. This creates a "package" of folds adjoining one another and folds somewhat curved in the surface. In the emstrom area, the medium to be cleaned flows against the walls of the fold at a small angle, which is not exactly defined due to the curvature, and at the same time transversely to the direction of the fold edges.
  • the shape of the embossments can be predetermined so that there is a zigzag fold with flat fold walls; see. US 3,531,920.
  • an adhesive can be applied to the embossments, which, when folded, adhere to the folds in some areas firmly and thus causes further stiffening; see. about DE 41 26 126 AI.
  • the spacers can - as mentioned in the aforementioned publication as one possibility - be adhesive aggregates, in particular in the form of a thread. In addition to the spacer, these have an additional one that connects the fold walls
  • the known filter elements only partially meet these requirements; at high and long lasting pressure alternating loads, the adhesive thread on the upstream side begins to become detached from the filter material, so that the stability of the filter element is initially locally lost and the filter element can be completely destroyed in the further course.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of specifying an improved generic filter element which is characterized, in particular, by significantly increased resistance to alternating pressure loads.
  • the invention includes the essential idea of providing back-side support elements in a lateral alignment with the spacers on the upstream side of an essentially zigzag-shaped filter material fold (in which the fold cross-section is therefore essentially V-shaped).
  • the spacers and support elements (the designation of which was chosen here for conceptual differentiation, but which of course also have a spacer function) can be applied directly to the flat pleat wall with filters with a small pleat height, the so-called “mini pleats”, with an increasing height.
  • the support elements are used in a simple and expedient embodiment as adhesive aggregates, in particular adhesive thread, in the recess of the embossments of the filter material as the back.
  • the base area or the projection of the support elements onto the plane of the fold wall is arranged essentially completely within the projection of the spacers on the other surface, in particular entirely within recessed depressions which protrude from the opposite surface of the fold wall as elevations ,
  • the flat area of the depressions / elevations embossed in the filter material is used to mutually support the fold walls.
  • the filter material areas outside the embossments thus remain free of support elements and represent effective filter areas with their entire area.
  • the support elements are made of hardened adhesive, in particular of hot melt adhesive, in such a way that they adhere firmly to the surfaces that are connected to one another.
  • the adhesive is applied to at least one of the two surfaces and the other is brought into contact with the adhesive assembly before it hardens, or the surfaces facing one another after folding are both provided with adhesive and approximated to one another in such a way that de Adhesive aggregates connect to each other in the unhardened state.
  • prefabricated spacers are inserted into the fold wall depressions, these also preferably being fixed at least with adhesive.
  • a particularly high resilient and reliable support and connection of the fold walls is achieved with elongated adhesive fabric aggregates or support elements which extend on or in the elevations / depressions over a large part of their length - preferably over their entire length.
  • the optionally provided elevations or depressions are particularly easy to produce if they have a height that is essentially constant in the direction perpendicular to the fold edges.
  • the V cross-section between the adjacent fold walls is taken into account by the fact that the support elements or adhesive assemblies are produced or applied with a non-constant height in the running direction of the filter material. It is particularly easy to produce an embodiment with continuous embossed beads for realizing the elevations / depressions.

  • Fig. 6 is a schematic cross-sectional view (detail) of a filter element according to another embodiment.
  • Fig. 1 shows a longitudinal section of a section of a filter element ("filter package”) in a zigzag fold a filter material fleece 13 that has a regular arrangement of fold edges 15a and 15b on an inflow side A and an outflow side B, between which fold walls 15, which are essentially flat and at an acute angle, extend.
  • flat elongate elevations 17 are embossed, which in plan view (not shown) have a substantially rectangular shape and an essentially elongated trapezoidal cross section.
  • the 15 appearing as an elevation 17 Imprints on a surface of the fold walls from the filters to the surface of the fold wall ⁇ from naturally recesses are.
  • adhesive aggregates 19A of hardened hot-melt adhesive extend over their entire length. As can be seen in FIG. 1, these have a V-shaped cross section following the cross-sectional shape of the folds and connect the elevations 17 to one another and support them against one another.
  • substantially shorter adhesive assemblies 19B are provided between the fold walls 15 - more precisely, between the elevations 17 which appear here as depressions - which are likewise formed from hardened hot-melt adhesive firmly adhering to the filter material.
  • the adhesive assemblies 19B support the pleated walls 15 against one another on the back (downstream side) and, together with the upstream first adhesive assemblies 19A, with which they are aligned across the width of the filter material, form fixing areas which do not allow the filter material to become detached even under high pressure fluctuations and thus are highly stable and form durable filter elements.
  • the aligned arrangement of the adhesive aggregates on both sides of the fold walls also leads to a minimization of the area covered with adhesive (not filter-effective) and thus maximizing the filter-effective area.
  • a filter package 21 is outlined as a further embodiment, the essential parts or areas being included
  • Fig. 1 are based on reference numerals and are not explained again here.
  • the embossed elevations 27 of the filter material 23 have a larger and non-constant height which rises into the opening area of the fold walls 25.
  • the first adhesive aggregates (adhesive thread) 29A running through the entire length of the elevations 27 have an essentially constant and comparatively low height on the upstream side A.
  • the second adhesive assemblies 29B which are arranged on the downstream side B of the filter fleece 23 in the depressions corresponding to the elevations 27 as closely localized adhesive spots, can also be produced with such “uncontrolled” adhesive application modules.
  • such an adhesive assembly is arranged in each fold near the fold edges 25A and 25B. All fold walls are thus supported twice on the outflow side, which increases the stability compared to the arrangement shown in FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 1 A third embodiment of a filter element 31 is shown in FIG.
  • the filter material 33 has continuous, relatively flat beads 37 for stiffening. Their constant height requires the generation of both the upstream first adhesive aggregates 39A and the downstream downstream adhesive aggregates 39B with an increasing height corresponding to the fold cross section.
  • Adhesive aggregates on both sides of the filter material practically throughout the entire pleat wall, which practically completely prevents the occurrence of local vibration maxima on the pleat wall surface when subjected to pressure changes.
  • the filter element 31 is therefore high, albeit at the price
  • Adhesive consumption and the use of controlled adhesive application modules with a non-constant adhesive discharge quantity per unit of time can also cope with the hard use in gas turbines or similar flow machines, from which high pressure change loads arise.
  • the adhesive aggregates are sketched essentially with concave contours, but depending on the specific process control and adhesive properties, their delimiting surfaces can also be essentially straight or rather spherical.
  • FIG. 4 shows a filter element, designated by reference number 41, in a cutout view in a plan view of upstream fold edges 45A in order to demonstrate the preferred arrangement of the first 49A and second adhesive aggregates 49B in the lateral direction of the filter material.
  • What is important here is not the specific shape of the top view, but the fact that both the upstream and the downstream adhesive assemblies as spacers or support elements lie essentially on or under embossed elevations 47. Downstream support is therefore carried out in the same spatial areas of the filter as the upstream connection and spacing. As already mentioned above, this prevents on the one hand the occurrence of transverse and longitudinal vibrations of the filter material and on the other hand ensures that the filter surface covered with adhesive is minimized, ie the remaining filter-effective area is maximized.
