Multi-cyclone sediment filter

摘要

A multi-cyclone sediment filter having a housing with upper and lower shells and defining an interior space for fluid flow. A cyclone holder is disposed in the housing and includes a plurality of fluid cyclones, each comprising a conical tube with a small opening at a lower end and a larger opening at an upper end. A fluid inlet introduces fluid into the filter housing. A fluid outlet in fluid discharges fluid. A manifold plate is disposed above the cyclone holder and includes a plurality of diffuser tubes, each extending downwardly into an upper end of one of the fluid cyclones. Fluid flowing from the fluid inlet is directed into a diverter cone under the manifold plate and is diverted outwardly between the manifold plate and the cyclone holder, into the fluid cyclones, outwardly through the diffuser tubes, and then out through the fluid outlet.

主权项

1. A multi-cyclone sediment filter for filtering water and oil, comprising:
a lower shell for collecting sediment; an upper shell disposed above and connected to said lower shell to create a filter housing, said upper shell including a fluid outlet; a cyclone holder disposed in said filter housing, said cyclone holder including a plurality of conically shaped fluid cyclones, each having a small opening at a lower end and larger opening at an upper end, and further including a plurality of fluid flow paths to said plurality of fluid cyclones; a fluid inlet disposed in said filter housing for introducing water or oil into said filter housing and for passage through said plurality of fluid cyclones; a fluid outlet in fluid communication with said filter housing for discharging water or oil from said filter housing; and a manifold plate disposed above said cyclone holder, said manifold plate including a plurality of diffuser tubes, each of which extends downwardly into an opening at the upper end of one of said fluid cyclones in said plurality of fluid cyclones, and a diverter cone for directing water or oil into said fluid cyclones.
