Strainer

摘要

A conduit (66) has a first end (80) and interior and exterior surfaces (44,86) extending downstream from the first end (80). A strainer (140) has a first end (146) and a second end (148). An upstream portion (150) of the strainer is positioned engaging a projection (94) on the interior surface (84) of the conduit to resist downstream shifting of the strainer. A strainer body (142) extends at least partiallydownstream of the upstream portion (150). The apparatus may be used as a strainer/coupler and may be used to filter water in a chiller apparatus.
