A receiver dryer includes a first body and a second body, one end of the second body away from the first body defining first and second connecting ports. The receiver dryer includes a filter cartridge including a first mating portion, a second mating portion, and a filter part at a middle portion; the first mating portion fits with an inner wall of the second body, one space allowing refrigerant to flow is formed between the filter part and the inner wall of the second body, the second mating portion is connected to the second connecting port, the space between the filter part and the inner wall of the second body communicates with the first connecting port, an inside of the filter part communicates with the second connecting port via the second mating portion, and refrigerant is filtered at least once when flowing between the first and second connecting ports.

A filtration element including a cylindrical housing enclosing a fluid filtration media extending along an axis (X) between opposing ends with a first and second end cap located at each end, wherein each end cap includes: i) an annular surface co-extensive with the housing, and ii) outer face laying in a plane perpendicular with the axis (X). The outer face of at least one end cap comprises an annular groove. A face seal including a base is located within the annular groove. A flexible lip extends axially from the base and axially beyond the outer face of the end cap and is adapted to engage with an abutting outer face of an end cap of an adjacently positioned filtration element.

A separator for a separator device, for example a final separator for a final separator device for separating water from a liquid such as oil and/or fuel, may include a filter body including at least one filter material through which the liquid can flow. The filter body may have a first side and a second side. A nanofibre layer may be disposed on the first side in at least one region. The nanofibre layer may be configured hydrophobic. According to an implementation, the nanofibre layer is treated to produce the hydrophobic property. The filter body may have a porosity on the first side that is smaller than on the second side.

A biological fluid separation device adapted to receive a biological fluid sample having a first portion and a second portion is disclosed. The device includes a housing having a first chamber having a first chamber inlet for receiving the biological fluid sample therein and a first chamber outlet. The housing has a second chamber having a second chamber inlet and a second chamber outlet, and a separation member separating at least a portion of the first chamber outlet and the second chamber. The separation member is adapted to restrain the first portion of the biological fluid sample within the first chamber and to allow at least a portion of the second portion of the biological fluid sample to pass into the second chamber. An actuator, such as a vacuum source, draws the biological fluid sample into the first chamber and the second portion into the second chamber.

Aspects herein include filter systems including short-range wireless tracking features to detect insertion and/or removal of filter elements from filter systems. In an embodiment, a filtration system is included having a housing including a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet. The housing can define an internal volume. A first filter element can be removably disposed within the housing. A short-range wireless communication tag can be associated with the first filter element. A short-range wireless communication reader can be associated with the housing, the reader configured to wirelessly send data to and receive data from the tag when the reader and the tag are at a distance that is less than or equal to a maximum communication distance. Removal of the first filter element from the housing can cause the distance between the tag and the reader to exceed the maximum communication distance. Other embodiments are also included herein.

[Object] A target cell capture filter is provided, having an improved capture ratio per unit area, structured as a filter for extracting and capturing target cells contained in a biological sample such as blood or the like in a simple manner, in a short period of time, and with high efficiency.

[Solving Means] A target cell capture filter is structured to have a capture face for capturing target cells in a liquid. The target cell capture filter has multiple notches that allows a part of the capture face to be elastically deformed in a direction that is orthogonal to the capture face, thereby providing gaps. At least part of the plurality of notches are a first notch group including multiple notches designed such that there is a difference between the notches in a shortest distance from a greatest deformation location of the notch to an outer edge of the capture face, and such that the same elastic deformation amount is exhibited with respect to the impulse per unit area.

Screen designs and screens for a mechanical separation device are disclosed for separating solids from liquids in a process stream. A screen may have a plurality of openings, which are conical shaped, having a diameter of about 1.0 mm to about 1.4 mm in size that are formed on a stainless steel sheet.
