Abstract

A separation device for separating liquid from gas has a separation element with housing, housing cover with housing cover thread, and filter element arranged therein. A first gas passage arranged centrally relative to a mounting axis of the separation element at a connector device has the housing cover thread assigned thereto. A second gas passage is arranged radially outside the first gas passage. A connection element connecting the separation element to the connector device has a conduit and a connection element thread to which the housing cover thread is screwed. A circumferential element adjoining the connection element thread extends axially into the separation element. Connection element thread and circumferential element surround the conduit. A fluid channel extends axially between conduit and circumferential element. A contour element of the separation element and a counter contour element of the connection element interact confusion-proof when screwing the separation element onto the connection element.

Abstract

A first filter element of a filter system is arranged in a housing, with a second filter element arranged coaxially and concentrically inside the first filter element. The first filter element has a first end disk at a first outlet-side end face and a second end disk at a second oppositely positioned end face. First and second end disks each have a central opening and extend annularly about the respective end face. The second filter element has a first outlet-side end face and a second oppositely positioned end face. The second end face of the second filter element is closed fluid-tightly by a cover. The cover closes the opening in the second end disk of the first filter element fluid-tightly. Between the second end faces of the first and second filter elements, a seal interface is arranged sealing directly the first and second filter elements against each other.

Abstract

A pressure equalization device for a housing has a base body and a closure element with a flow path between them being open in a normal operating state of the pressure equalization device. A flow opening in the flow path is spanned by a membrane. An emergency venting spike projects from the closure element toward the membrane. The pressure equalization device transitions after emergency venting into an emergency operating state in which the closure element gas-tightly closes the base body. A housing with such a pressure equalization device is provided. In a method for pressure equalization with such a pressure equalization device between a housing interior and an environment, gas exchange between interior and environment is performed through the membrane and the flow path between closure element and base body. During emergency venting, the membrane is destroyed by the emergency venting spike. The closure element then closes the base body.

Abstract

A disk brake device for a vehicle, that includes an internally-ventilated or solid brake disk. The internally-vented brake disk is configured having ventilation openings on the vehicle side, on the radial inside in the region of a brake disk chamber, which ventilation openings are fluidically connected to cooling channels in the interior of the brake disk. The solid brake disk is configured without such ventilation openings and with cooling channels. A brake caliper fitting is configured over the brake disk with a brake pad arranged on both sides of the brake disk. The brake disk device is configured with a brake dust filter housing that encompasses the brake disk on the radial outside and is arranged downstream of the brake caliper, together with the brake pads. The disk brake device has at least one means for forced guidance of brake dust.

Abstract

A filter system for liquid media has a filter housing with housing pot and housing cover. The housing pot has a drainage channel with bottom-side drainage opening. A bottom end disk of a filter element has a closure element arranged off-center to a longitudinal filter element axis. The closure element, in predetermined installation position of the filter element, extends seal-tightly across or into the drainage opening. The bottom end disk has a positioning aid corresponding with a cutout of an annular socket of the housing pot. By screwing on the housing cover, the filter element moves with the housing cover axially toward the drainage opening and rotates until positioning aid and cutout engage and lock the filter element relative to the housing pot in a predetermined rotational position where the closure element is axially aligned with the drainage opening. The filter element moves with the housing cover axially into the predetermined installation position.

Abstract

A separation component for a filter element has a web-shaped support body with a top rim and a bottom rim. A web-shaped separator body covers a side face of the support body completely or partially. Support body and separator body are wound to a spiral shape with axially successive turns. The support body has a connecting fold at the top rim and at the bottom rim, respectively. The connecting folds engage each other in the axially successive turns of the spiral shape. The separation component can be manufactured by placing a web-shaped separator body onto a web-shaped support body and by winding support body and separator body to a spiral shape. During winding, a connecting fold at a top rim of a turn of the spiral shape and a connecting fold at a bottom rim of an axially successive turn are brought into engagement with each other.

Abstract

In a purification method for purifying contaminated water, the contaminated water contained in a purification tank is filtered by a membrane module disposed in the purification tank. An adsorption agent with powdered activated carbon is added to the purification tank at a raw side of the membrane module. The membrane module is aerated by inflow of air from below. The steps of filtering, adding, and aerating are carried out in parallel and/or sequentially. The purification method is used as a stage of a purification process of a wastewater treatment plant prior to introducing the water purified by the purification method into a river, lake or the ocean.
