Disk type filtration element null for rotary disk type filter

摘要

For adapting a disc filter element of a rotatable disc filter to varying flow conditions the fluid tight filter element body (11, 12) is provided with openings (34-39), the number of which is increased with increasing flow capacity through the filter means (17) of the filter element. Also, with increasing flow capacity the openings of the increasing number of openings are located at increasing distances from the vacuum connection (29) of the filter element. In order to prevent filtrate from entering portions of the interior of the filter element body beyond the most distant opening (39), as seen from the vacuum connection (29), such portions of the interior space of the filter element body are sealingly shut off from the remainder of the interior space.
