Glossary
Agglomerate:
Structure made up of several small particles which have
formed a ball (conglomerated) as a result of physical forces.
Aerosol:
Distribution of minute liquid droplets (or solid particles) in a
gas.
Cleaning:
The segmented element is cleaned. It is turned for this
purpose. Filtered fluid or the external pressure medium
flows outward through the segmented element and cleans
the segments one at a time.
Concentrate:
Quantity of residues enriched with solids. Is discharged from
the filter periodically. Further treatment may be necessary,
depending on the application.
Cooling lubricant:
Cooling lubricant acc. to DIN 51385.
Differential pressure (delta p):
Difference between the pressure on the dirty side and
the clean side.
Draining:
The drain valve is opened. The solids that have been
collected in the collection cone are discharged.
Filter cake:
Layer that is built up by the solids retained on the surface of
the segmented element.
Filtered fluid:
Substance that is filtered.
Filtration mode:
The automatic filter operates normally and the valves are
closed.
Homogenisation:
A system of substances is given a uniform composition.
Initial differential pressure:
Differential pressure at the start of the filtration process
(when the segmented element is “clean”).
Precontrol:
5/2-way magnetic valves actuated by the controller, which
switch pneumatic control valves.
Segmented element:
Cylindrical structure consisting of two concentric, profiled
elements. The actual filter medium is located between the
profiled elements. The suspension that must be filtered
flows inward. Solids are retained on the outer surface of the
segmented element.
Siphon:
U-shaped pipe. A siphon cannot be discharged without a
valve.
Suspension (raw suspension):
System of substances that must be filtered, generally
consisting of solids in a liquid.
