  • Patent number: 9782703
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device (10) for separating a heterogeneous mixture of matter into at least one retentate and one filtrate, comprising a housing (12) which is subdivided into a chamber for the heterogeneous mixture (20) of matter having at least one feed (14) and a filtrate chamber (21) having at least one outlet (16), a filter unit (22) which comprises at least one filter element (24), wherein the filter unit (22) is arranged in the chamber for the heterogeneous mixture (20) of matter, and a rinsing system (46, 47, 50, 50?) for cleaning the filter unit (22), wherein the rinsing system (46, 47, 50, 50?) has at least one rinsing port (46, 47) which is constructed so as to introduce a stream, oriented tangentially to the shell surface (54), of a first washing medium into the chamber for the heterogeneous mixture (20) of matter. The invention further relates to a method for cleaning a filter unit.

  • Publication number: 20120267484
    Abstract: A fastening device for heat transfer medium lines comprising a strip-shaped carrier element (10) and a plurality of claw-shaped retaining elements (12) which in each case comprise two side parts, one end of which is firmly joined to the upper side of the carrier element (10), it being possible to place a heat transfer medium line (30) between the in each case two side parts of a retaining element (12), wherein the side parts of the retaining elements (12) comprise a collar (14) at their end remote from the carrier element (10) and, with regard to their transverse orientation, are arranged substantially perpendicularly to the longitudinal direction of the carrier element (10).
