Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A cassette filter for cleaning a fluid includes: a frame; and a plurality of filter elements having a filter medium provided with a folding. The plurality of filter elements are accommodated in a frame such that at least two adjoining filter elements of the plurality of filter elements are arranged at an acute angle to one another and form a V-shaped arrangement. Each of the plurality of filter elements has folded edges which are formed by fold peaks and fold valleys and extend perpendicularly to legs of the acute angle. Each filter element of the plurality of filter elements is provided with foldings such that a height of the respective filter element is smaller at all edge regions than a height in a central region of the respective filter element, and smaller folding surfaces than the central region result at the edge regions.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A cassette filter for cleaning a fluid, comprising: a frame; and a plurality of filter elements having a filter medium provided with a folding, the plurality of filter elements being accommodated in a frame such that at least two adjoining filter elements of the plurality of filter elements are arranged at an acute angle to one another and form a V-shaped arrangement, wherein each of the plurality of filter elements has folded edges which are formed by fold peaks and fold valleys and extend perpendicularly to legs of the acute angle, wherein each of the plurality of filter elements comprises only two edge regions, each edge region being disposed at a respective end of a respective filter element, each of the plurality of filter elements further comprising a central region disposed between the edge regions of the respective filter element, and wherein each filter element of the plurality of filter elements is provided with foldings such that a height of the respective filter element is smaller at all edge regions than a height in the central region of the respective filter element, and smaller folding surfaces than the central region result at the edge regions. 2. The cassette filter of claim 1 , wherein in a side view, a folded filter element has a design with a straight edge and a convex edge. 3. The cassette filter of claim 1 , wherein the height of the respective filter element at the center of the respective filter element lies within a range of h max =20 to 50 mm, and in the edge regions within a range of h min =5 to 20 mm. 4. The cassette filter of claim 1 , wherein the filter medium comprises a nonwoven or fiberglass paper. 5. The cassette filter of claim 1 , wherein the filter medium contains a membrane. 6. The cassette filter of claim 1 , wherein two filter elements adjoining each other are glued to one another. 7. The cassette filter of claim 1 , wherein a particular filter element of the plurality of filter elements is designed with a mini-pleat technique with hot-melt fixing of the fold surfaces.
