MODULE CASE AND HOLLOW FIBER MEMBRANE MODULE USING THE SAME

摘要

A hollow fiber membrane module is disclosed, which is capable of preventing a bundle of hollow fiber membranes from being separated from a module case, the hollow fiber membrane module for accommodating a bundle of hollow fiber membranes closely held together through the use of potting agent, comprising a module case comprising: a first inner surface serving as a projection on which the bundle of hollow fiber membranes is stably placed; a second inner surface upwardly extending from one end of the first inner surface, the second inner surface including at least one separation-preventing groove to prevent the bundle of hollow fiber membranes from being separated from the module case; a third inner surface downwardly extending from the other end of the first inner surface; and a fourth inner surface connected to the third inner surface. In the module case of the present invention, separation-preventing grooves are formed in an inner surface of a module case, and are filled with a potting agent for potting a bundle of hollow fiber membranes into the module case. Thus, even though an adhesive strength between the potting agent and the module case is reduced, the potting agent filled in the separation-preventing grooves prevents the bundle of hollow fiber membranes from being separated from the module case.
