Abstract
A vibration filter that eliminates the problems of polarization, blockage and fouling is disclosed to include a separation membrane for removing solid matter in a fluid, a base, a magnetic field generator controllable to provide a variable magnetic flux, and vibrators made by a magnetostrictive material and arranged in an array on the base and kept in close contact with the separation membrane for vibrating the separation membrane upon generation of a variable magnetic flux by the magnetic field generator.
Claims8
A vibration filter of the type using a separation membrane to filter a fluid, the vibration filter comprising:
- a base, said base having at least one through hole;
- a magnetic field generator mounted on said base at one side and adapted to provide a variable magnetic flux;
- and
- at least one vibrator made by magnetostrictive material and mounted on said base for vibrating the separation membrane of the vibration filter upon generation of a variable magnetic flux by said magnetic field generator.
