A filter assembly a manifold having a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet and a filter housing having a filter medium provided therein. The filter medium defining an inner filter chamber and defining an outer filter chamber between the filter medium and the filter housing, the filter housing being removably attached to the manifold so as to provide a fluid flow path from the inlet into the inner filter chamber.

A water purifier includes a raw water flow path into which raw water is introduced, a clean water flow path connected to the raw water flow path and having a water discharge nozzle disposed at an end, a filter device disposed in the clean water flow path, and to which a filter is installable to filter the raw water, a drain flow path branched off from the clean water flow path between the filter and the water discharge nozzle and connected to a drain port to drain water in the clean water flow path to outside, a drain valve configured to open or close the drain flow path, and a controller configured to determine a remaining life of the filter on a point in time at which the filter has been replaced and control the drain valve to perform a cleaning operation based on the remaining life of the filter.

The embodiments of the disclosure provide a biological filtration system and a controlling method for the biological filtration system. The biological filtration system for filtering a solution in a bioreactor, comprises: a filter device having a top end and a bottom end, one of the top end and the bottom end being in fluid communication with the bioreactor for filtering the solution in the bioreactor; a liquid chamber in fluid communication with the other one of the top end and the bottom end for storing a solution in the filter device; a positive pressure pump, in fluid communication with the liquid chamber, for driving a solution to flow from the liquid chamber to the bioreactor; and a negative pressure pump, in fluid communication with the liquid chamber, for driving a solution to flow from the bioreactor to the liquid chamber.

A fluid filter comprises a housing, a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet, a filter element separating a raw side and a clean side from one another, and a valve unit. The valve unit comprises a valve plate arranged concentrically in the housing and having the shape of a circular ring disc, having valve openings and a flexible circular-ring-disc-shaped valve membrane arranged on the valve plate. The filter element comprises an axially protruding pressure-exerting ring shaped as a circumferential annular collar on the end face thereof facing the valve unit when installed. When installed in the housing, the filter element, with an end face of the pressure-exerting ring, presses the valve membrane axially onto the valve plate. The valve membrane, with the membrane region thereof pressed by the pressure-exerting ring onto the valve plate, forms a seal separating the raw side from the clean side of the fluid filter.

Some embodiments of the present application disclose a polishing liquid supply system. In the present application, the polishing liquid supply system includes: a polishing liquid preparation device, a cleaning liquid supply device and a filtering device, and further includes a supply pipeline connected with the polishing liquid preparation device and the filtering device and a cleaning pipeline connected with the cleaning liquid supply device and the filtering device. The polishing liquid preparation device is configured to prepare a polishing liquid and convey the prepared polishing liquid to the filtering device through the supply pipeline. The filtering device is configured to filter the polishing liquid and convey the filtered polishing liquid to a polishing device connected with the filtering device. The cleaning liquid supply device is configured to convey a cleaning liquid to the filtering device through the cleaning pipeline.

A valve unit has a plate-shaped valve body with a closure section and a connection section. The valve body has a cutout surrounded by a frame. The closure section has a closure tab that, beginning at a first fastening section at the frame, projects into the cutout. The connection section, beginning at a second fastening section at the frame, projects into the cutout and has a contact tab and a fastening point. The first and second fastening sections are arranged opposite each other at the frame along a longitudinal axis of the valve body. A filter head for the valve unit has a valve seat for a seal body of the closure section of the valve body. A fastening pin of the filter head fastens the connection section of the valve unit. A contact region of the filter head contacts a positioning region of the valve unit.

A liquid filter arrangement is provided, as well as methods of assembly and use. Advantageous features, relating to a preferred filter cartridge and a preferred slide arrangement, are provided.

A strainer device includes a strainer element; a first lid member that covers an upper opening of the strainer element; a second lid member that covers a lower opening of the strainer element and has a fitting hole in a portion surrounded by the strainer element; a delivery pipe protruding upward inside a hydraulic oil tank in a state in which the delivery pipe is fitted into the fitting hole of the second lid member; and a check valve arranged at the first lid member. The check valve includes a valve main body having a valve passage whose one end opens to the internal space of the strainer element and whose other end opens to inside of the hydraulic oil tank; and a valve body which is arranged to be able to move in a vertical direction with respect to a valve seat provided in the valve passage.

A system is provided for a cup used to supply a liquid to a spray tool. The system may include a cup, a filter configured to mount inside of the cup, one or more supports extending across the filter, and a retainer configured to retain the filter.

Disclosed is a disposable filter capsule apparatus that incorporates integral quick connect components and check valves to facilitate assembly to, and dis-assembly from, larger assemblies and apparatus. The quick connect elements and valves are configured to eliminate the need for auxiliary sealing elements, e.g., o-rings and valve springs so as to prevent unwanted reactions with fluids and/or gases flowing through the capsules, and to further prevent the disposal of expensive re-usable elements in the disposable capsules.
