A water supply tubing (42) is connected to the evaporation channel. A water discharge tubing (46) is connected to the evaporation channel. A purified-water discharge tubing (56) is connected to the condensation channel. The surface of the cooling section is given a temperature lower than a temperature of water in the evaporation channel. A gas supply arrangement (60) for inert gas comprises a heater (62). A gas pipe system (64) is arranged to a gas inlet (55) of the condensation channel for enabling flushing of at least the condensation channel with the inert gas.

A dust collection device includes: an air inlet channel, a dust settling channel extending along a preset path, an airflow rotation channel surrounding the settling channel, an air outlet channel and a collection chamber, where one end of the airflow rotation channel is communicated with the dust settling channel, and the other end of the airflow rotation channel is communicated with the air outlet channel; an upstream end of the dust settling channel is communicated with the air inlet channel, and a downstream end of the dust settling channel is communicated with the collection chamber; and the height of the dust settling channel gradually decreases in an extension direction of the preset path. Dust in the airflow rotation channel can easily settle under the action of a centrifugal force when moving along the airflow rotation channel.

An ion exchange device main body 3 includes: a tubular body 31 into which an ion exchange resin bag 5 accommodating the ion exchange resin is inserted through an opening and which has a liquid outlet 312 in which a liquid outlet port 314 for discharging an ion exchange target liquid to outside is formed; a lid 32 that is supported by the tubular body 31 and has a gas injection portion 324 in which a gas injection port 325 for injecting a to an inside 311 of the tubular body 31 is formed; a lead-out pipe 42 that is connected to the liquid outlet 312 and guides the ion exchange target liquid to the outside; and a check valve 44 that is provided in the lead-out pipe 42 and prevents the ion exchange target liquid from flowing backward from the outside to the inside.

A filtering device is for obtaining a chemical liquid by purifying a liquid to be purified, and the filtering device has an inlet portion, an outlet portion, a filter A, at least one filter B different from the filter A, and a flow path which includes the filter A and the filter B arranged in series and extends from the inlet portion to the outlet portion, in which the filter A has a porous base material made of polyfluorocarbon and a coating layer which is disposed to cover the porous base material and contains a resin having an adsorptive group.

A chemical liquid purification apparatus includes a tank body, a return tube, a liquid sending pump, a filtration device and a piping. The tank body has a liquid passage port and a circulation port communicated to a storage space inside the tank body. The return tube has one end connected to the circulation port and another end extending to the storage space. The liquid sending pump and the filtration device are located outside the tank body in between the liquid passage port and the circulation port. The piping is connecting the liquid sending pump and the filtration device to the liquid passage port and the circulation port.

Described are porous, sintered metal bodies that include multiple layers made from different metal particles and that may be useful as porous filter membranes, as well as methods of making and using the porous, sintered metal bodies.

Provided is an easy and clean processing machine. The processing machine includes a processing chamber having a discharge port; a tank having an inflow port with a gap from the discharge port; a drawer to be stowed in the processing chamber and pulled out rearward from the processing chamber, the drawer including a front plate, a pair of side plates, and a bottom plate including a filter disposed in a front portion, a guide including a stopper; and a slider including a latch portion to collide with the stopper to stop the drawer at an intermediate position. The discharge port is located above the bottom plate, and the filter is located above the inflow port when the drawer is located at the intermediate position.

An apparatus and method for wet cleaning a gas stream has a housing with a gas inlet and a gas outlet, wherein, in the housing, there is at least a first washing segment that serves to clean the gas stream with a washing liquid and that is arranged in the flow path of the gas stream. Inside the housing of the apparatus, there is at least one fan that regulates air pressure along the flow path of the gas stream. A bypass channel for bypassing the flow path through the at least one washing segment as well as a regulator that is arranged in the bypass and that serves to discharge the gas stream being conveyed via the bypass channel are arranged inside the housing.

A filtration system is provided that includes a gearbox positioned in a geared turbofan engine. The system further includes an auxiliary lubrication system positioned in the geared turbofan engine and in fluid communication with the gearbox. The auxiliary lubrication system includes an auxiliary reservoir, an auxiliary pump in fluid communication with the auxiliary reservoir, an auxiliary return line extending between the gearbox and the auxiliary reservoir, the auxiliary return line configured to transport a lubricant from the gearbox to the auxiliary reservoir, and an auxiliary supply line extending between the auxiliary pump and the gearbox, the auxiliary supply line configured to transport the lubricant from the auxiliary pump to the gearbox. The system further includes a non-removable filter positioned in the auxiliary lubrication system. The non-removable filter is configured to prevent or limit debris that is suspended in the lubricant from flowing into the gearbox and/or the auxiliary pump.

A front opening unified pod includes a housing and a purge port in the housing. The purge port includes a filter membrane and a purge filter support. The purge filter support includes an outer ring structure and a support frame working. The support framework extends from the outer ring structure The outer ring structure includes a plurality of supports that provide a support surface for the filter membrane. One or more of the supports respectively increase in thickness from a thickness for the upper support surface. A purge filter support includes an outer ring structure, and one or more openings, a support framework that extends from the outer ring structure.
