Abstract: A filter arrangement, for cleaning gases contaminated with particles, has at least one filter unit with an exterior and an interior filter (3.1, 3.2), wherein the exterior and interior filters can be moved relative to each other, thereby exposing an opening (3.4) in the bottom regions thereof. This allows cleaning of filter units at the site of the filter units without disassembly of the same (cleaning in place—CIP). A method for cleaning is provided in that the region of the filter unit on the clean gas side including introducing a fluid sprayed via a cleaning lance protruding into the clean gas region while exposing a gap (3.4) in the bottom region of the exterior and interior filters.

Abstract: A centrifugal separator device for concurrent separation of solid and/or liquid particles suspended in a gaseous media includes a rotor having a multiplicity of sedimentation members and which is mounted rotatably in a surrounding housing. An intake is provided for the gaseous medium to be cleaned, which leads to a central inlet shaft of the rotor. The housing has an outlet for cleaned gas, which has been freed of solid and/or liquid particles on passage through the sedimentation members in the rotor, and an outlet for the solid and/or liquid particles, which have been deposited on the sedimentation members and then transferred to a side wall of the housing by a centrifugal force. A nozzle is arranged upstream of the sedimentation members in order to supply a liquid to the sedimentation members.

Abstract: The invention relates to devices and methods for cleaning centrifugal separators for concurrent and countercurrent separation of solid and/or liquid particles suspended in gaseous media. The device comprises a rotor (12) which is provided with a multiplicity of sedimentation members (14) and which is mounted rotatably in a surrounding housing (20). In concurrent separation, a flushing nozzle (36) is arranged upstream of the sedimentation members (14) in order to supply a cleaning liquid for flushing the sedimentation members clean. In countercurrent separation, the flushing nozzle is arranged upstream and/or downstream of the sedimentation members in order to supply cleaning liquid from outside and/or from inside the rotor for flushing the sedimentation members clean.

Abstract: A method for cleaning a vehicle exhaust system filter including a plurality of generally parallel elongate channels comprises introducing liquid into the elongate channels for absorption by particulate matter present in the channels, and rotating the filter such that the rotation causes the wetted particulate matter to move along, and out of, the elongate channels to thereby clean the filter.
