Definitions

  • the invention relates to a filter module.
  • filter modules are used to arrange membranes in a pipe, so that for instance drinking water can be filtered.
  • a filter module contains hollow capillary membranes, the walls of which are porous. Liquid for filtering flows into the membranes and is drained through the porous wall . Contaminants are then left behind in this wall .
  • the membranes are held in position by a holder. This holder ensures that the membranes are positioned such that water flowing radially out of the membranes can leave the filter module.
  • a filter module comprising:
  • - membrane holders which are arranged in the housing for the purpose of containing membranes which extend substantially between the first open end and the second open end, wherein the membrane holders are arranged on the inner wall of the housing.
  • each membrane holder can be filled separately with membranes and arranged separately in the housing. This simplifies the operations for filling the whole housing of a filter module with membranes.
  • the membrane holders comprise a number of elongate sides which are mutually connected via the longitudinal sides .
  • a filter module in a preferred embodiment of a filter module according to the invention, at least two longitudinal sides of a membrane holder can be disconnected from each other in order to bend open the membrane holder. This simplifies automatic filling of such a holder. The holder can then be bent open, whereafter the membranes can be placed in the holder and do not have to be pushed therein in longitudinal direction.
  • at least one of the elongate sides comprises a channel extending in lengthwise direction. Such a channel can be used as bypass of the filter module.

  • Each holder consists of a first part 9 of three sides which can be bent outward to enable placing of membranes 4 into parts 9.
  • the first part 9 of holder 3 is closed with a longitudinally extending hollow cap 10.
  • This hollow cap 10 also forms a bypass channel, as will be further elucidated hereinbelow.
  • the first parts 9 are provided on either side with a groove 11 with which the holders 3 can be held slidably on assembling device 7.
  • assembling device 7 is shown in closed position. Assembling device 7 is then positioned in front of housing 2 such that grooves 5 of holders 3 are in line with ribs 6. The filled holders 3 can then be pushed as a body into housing 2.
  • the membrane holders 3 consist of a first part 9 and a cap 10 arranged thereon.
  • This cap 10 is hollow such that a bypass is provided in the filter module.
  • the first part 9 is provided with openings 23 such that liquid streaming radially out of membranes 3 can flow easily out of holder 3.
  • the membrane holders 21 according to a second embodiment are shown in figures 5A and 5B. Elements corresponding with filter module 1 are designated herein with the same reference numerals. Spacers 25 are arranged on the outside of membrane holders 21 so that a certain distance is ensured between the different membrane holders 21, and draining of the filtered liquid is not greatly impeded.
  • FIG. 6A and 6B A third embodiment of a filter module 30 according to the invention is shown in figures 6A and 6B.
  • This filter module 30 largely corresponds with foregoing embodiments.
  • Filter module 30 however has membrane holders 31 which are provided with ribs 32 which are guided in grooves of housing 33.

  • FIG 8A shows a filter module 1 in cross-section.
  • This filter module 1 has a housing 2 having arranged therein membrane holders 3 and membranes 4. Both ends of housing 2 are sealed by means of synthetic resin plugs 40. The membranes 4 protrude through these plugs 40 so that liquid V for cleaning can be supplied. Liquid V flows radially out of the membranes 4 and enters holders 3. Liquid V can then flow through perforations 23 to the central drainage channel 41.
  • Figure 8B shows the filter module 20. This is distinguished from the embodiment shown in figure 8A in that a bypass channel 22 is provided which extends through both plugs. Liquid V for cleaning can flow directly via this channel to a filter module located further to the rear, whereby the flow resistance is not increased.
  • FIGS 9A-9C are shown three different embodiments of housings 50, 51 and 52 for a filter module according to the invention. These housings 50, 51, 52 have a hollow wall. These cavities 53, 54, 55 respectively can be used as bypass channel .

  • FIGS 10A and 10B show a further embodiment of a membrane holder 60, 61 for a filter module according to the invention.
  • Membrane holder 60 consists of a first part 62 provided with a channel 63 which can function as bypass.
  • a cap 64 is placed on part 62 so that membranes 65 can be held between cap 64 and part 62.
  • the sides of part 62 and cap 64 are perforated.
  • Further provided on cap 64 is a groove 66 with which the membrane holder can be fixed to the inner side of a pipe.
  • FIG 10B shows a variant of a membrane holder 61.
  • This membrane holder 61 corresponds for the greater part with membrane holder 60. The difference is that a bypass channel is no longer provided in part 67.
  • Figure 11 shows yet another membrane holder 70 according to the invention.
  • This membrane holder 70 corresponds for the greater part with membrane holder 60 of figure 10A. Corresponding parts are therefore designated with the same reference numerals.
  • the part 62 and the cover 64 are connected hingedly to each other via a linear hinge 71. This hinge can be mechanical, elastic or a film hinge .
