A method of utilizing a filter having a filter body removing solid particles from a fluid, in order to extend the life cycle of the filter body before cleaning or replacement thereof is required, characterized in applying to the fluid, upstream of the filter body, an AC electrical field of a frequency and intensity to agglomerate solid particles in the fluid reaching the filter body, such as to reduce the number of smaller particles in the fluid tending to clog the filter body. Also described are a plurality of filter constructions for extending the life cycle of the filter body in accordance with the above method.
A method of operating a filter to remove solid particles from a fluid by passing the fluid through a filter body, characterized in applying to the fluid, upstream of the filter body, an AC electrical field of a frequency and intensity to agglomerate solid particles in the fluid reaching the filter body, such as to reduce the number of small particles in the fluid tending to clog the filter body and thereby to extend the life cycle of the filter body before cleaning or replacement thereof is required.
A filter including a filter body for removing solid particles from a fluid, characterized in that said filter includes an AC electrical field generator for generating an AC electrical field upstream of the filter body of a frequency and intensity to agglomerate solid particles in the fluid reaching the filter body, such as to reduce the number of small particles in the fluid tending to clog the filter body.
For use in a pre-filter having a filter body removing solid particles from a fluid flowing therethrough from the upstream side to the downstream side of the filter body;
