  • Patent number: 9889407
    Abstract: A device, which is suitable for the processing of at least one fluid, is provided with at least one elongated foil, which is formed in a number of reciprocating foil layers. Between two opposite layers of foil, a spacer is situated that is permeable at least parallel to the foil layers. The foil layers and interposed spacers extend spirally around a central axis, wherein folding lines between two foil layers extend substantially parallel to the central axis. Each spacer is coupled to at least an end near the central axis with a support extending parallel to the central axis where, of the supports near the central axis, first supports are situated between two foil layers, which foil layers are connected to one another near the central axis, whereas second supports are situated between two successive first supports.

  • Patent number: 8728317
    Abstract: A device which is suitable for treating a fluid comprises an elongated foil formed of a plurality of foil layers arranged in zigzag fashion, wherein a first foil layer is connected to a second foil layer at a first end. The second foil layer is connected to a third foil layer at a second end remote from the first end. Spacers are arranged between said foil layers. The spacer comprises a mesh-like layer, through which fluid can flow in the plane of the mesh-like layer as well as transversely to the plane of the mesh-like layer.
