FILTRATION DEVICE

摘要

The present invention refers to a filtering device comprising at least one filtering membrane, at least one counter surface opposite to the filtering membrane, and at least one gap-shaped liquid space formed between the filtering membrane and the counter surface. The present invention further refers to a filtering method, in which a liquid is introduced into a gap-shaped liquid space formed between a filtering membrane and a counter surface and is moved relative to the filtering membrane and/or the counter surface. To obtain an improved filtering method and an improved filtering device, it is suggested by the present invention that the filtering device comprises a disk at whose circular surface at least the filtering membrane or the counter surface is formed. In the method according to the invention, two helical liquid whirls are generated in the gap-shaped liquid space, said whirls extending in parallel to the filtering membrane and the counter surface and having the same sense of rotation but opposite radial directions of movement.
