FILTRATION MODULE COMPRISING HOLLOW FIBRE MEMBRANES AND METHOD FOR OPERATING A FILTRATION MODULE FOR FLUIDS

摘要

The invention relates to a filtration module for fluids, in particular a water filtration module (10), comprising hollow fibre membranes (82) for separating fluids contaminated by foreign substances, in particular water (11), and to a method for operating a filtration module (10). A housing (12) has a feed passage (28) for the inlet of the contaminated fluid (11), said feed passage being connected to the unfiltered sides of the hollow fibre membranes (82), and a permeate passage (24) for the discharge of the fluid (15) that has been freed of foreign substances, said permeate passage being connected to the filtered sides of the hollow fibre membranes (82). The hollow fibre membranes (82) seal off the feed passage (28) from the permeate passage (24). Each hollow fibre membrane (82) is secured at at least one open end (84) on a terminating element (78). The internal chambers of the hollow fibre membranes (82) are connected to one of the passages (24) via the open ends (84). Closed sections (82b) of the hollow fibre membranes (82) are arranged in a chamber (38) of the housing (12), said chamber being connected to the other passage (28). The terminating element (78) has a passage (28) for fluid (11) to the chamber (38), said passage being connected to radially running distributor channels (61) which have a plurality of distributor openings (66, 68) to the chamber (38).
