  • Publication number: 20240149200
    Abstract: A filter element includes a tube of filter media, a first end cap and a second end cap. The tube of filter media extends between a first end and a second end. The tube of filter media has a cylindrical outer periphery and defines a central cavity. The first end cap is secured to the first end of the tube of filter media. The first end cap includes a first aperture having a first diameter. The second end cap is secured to the second end of the tube of filter media. The second end cap includes an attachment region adjacent the second end of the filter media and a first central hub positioned radially inward of the attachment region. The first central hub defines a second aperture having a second diameter. The second diameter is smaller than the first diameter. Systems having one or more filter elements, a tube sheet, and mounting yoke are provided.

  • Publication number: 20240024808
    Abstract: Filter elements, filter mounting systems, filter systems, methods of servicing filter systems, and methods of mounting filter elements are provided herein. The mounting system may include a quick attach attachment member that can be both axially slid along a mounting shank as well as threadedly engaged therewith. Torque limiting features may be provided to limit the amount of loading that may be provided by an attachment member to a filter element. Identifiers of appropriate tightening of attachment members may be provided. Clocking features and mechanisms for better balancing loading on seal members may be provided.

  • Patent number: 11872576
    Abstract: A nozzle for a filter cleaning system has a stub portion having an inlet opening and an outlet opening, and a splitter portion positioned downstream of the stub portion. The splitter portion has deflector surfaces arranged to direct the airflow exiting the stub portion outlet in 3 or more different/separate airstreams each of which airstreams are directed inclined axially outwardly from the axial direction of the airflow exiting the stub portion outlet opening. The various parameters of the splitter nozzle portion can be tailored to provide required jet shape and entrainment characteristics. A beneficial feature of the nozzle designs is that jet entrainment and recombination of flows can be specified for different shaped filters.

  • Patent number: 10234365
    Abstract: The present invention provide for solutions of a defined composition useful in a staining protocol, such as a hematoxylin and eosin staining protocol, when used at certain points of the staining protocol. The formulations of these defined solutions are such that carry-over of the solutions will not negatively impact, or preferably, will stabilize or favorably modify staining reagent solutions coming in contact with the solutions. In certain embodiments of the invention, solutions are buffered to maintain a specific pH that when carried-over—such as carried-over into hematoxylin—will not significantly influence the pH of the next staining reagent.
