Abstract
Fluid treatment arrangements (10) and methods for operating fluid treatment arrangements (10) may include fluid treatment assemblies (11) and manifold assemblies (12) that direct fluids to and/or from the fluid treatment assemblies (11).
Claims7
A fluid treatment arrangement comprising:
- a fluid treatment assembly having at least one fitting;
- a manifold assembly having at least one fitting;
- a hollow coupler;
- and
- an actuator assembly associated with at least one of the fluid treatment assembly, the manifold assembly and the coupler, the actuator assembly being movable between a first position wherein the coupler is uncoupled from at least one of a fitting of a fluid treatment assembly and a fitting of a manifold assembly and a second position wherein the coupler sealingly couples the fittings of the fluid treatment assembly and the manifold assembly, thereby allowing fluid to flow between the fittings.
A method for operating a fluid treatment arrangement comprising moving an actuator assembly between a first position wherein a coupler is uncoupled from at least one of a fitting of the fluid treatment assembly and a fitting of a manifold assembly and a second position wherein the coupler sealingly couples the fittings of the fluid treatment assembly and the manifold assembly, thereby allowing fluid to flow between the fittings.
A fluid treatment arrangement comprising:
- a fluid treatment assembly including a fitting;
- a support;
- and
- a manifold assembly including a fitting detachably mounted to the support, wherein the fittings of the manifold assembly and the fluid treatment assembly are arranged to be coupled to and uncoupled from one another.
A method for operating a fluid treatment arrangement comprising:
- uncoupling a fitting of a manifold assembly and a fitting of a fluid treatment assembly;
- detaching the fitting of the manifold assembly from a support;
- reattaching the fitting to the support;
- and
- coupling the reattached fitting of the manifold assembly and a fitting of a fluid treatment assembly.
A method for operating a fluid treatment arrangement comprising:
- uncoupling a first fitting of a manifold assembly and a fitting of a fluid treatment assembly;
- detaching the first fitting of the manifold assembly from a support;
- attaching a second fitting of the manifold assembly to the support;
- and
- coupling the second fitting of the manifold assembly and a fitting of a fluid treatment assembly.
A fluid treatment arrangement comprising:
- a fluid treatment assembly including first and second opposite ends, a first fitting associated with the first end, and a second fitting associated with the second end;
- a manifold assembly including a first fitting and a second fitting;
- an actuator assembly cooperatively arranged with at least one of the fluid treatment assembly and the manifold assembly, wherein the actuator assembly is movable between a first position, wherein the first fittings of the fluid treatment assembly and the manifold assembly are uncoupled from one another and the second fittings of the fluid treatment assembly and the manifold assembly are uncoupled from one another, and a second position, wherein the first fittings of the fluid treatment assembly and the manifold assembly are sealingly coupled and the second fittings of the fluid treatment assembly and the manifold assembly are sealingly coupled, thereby allowing fluid to flow between the first fittings and between the second fittings.
A method for operating a fluid treatment arrangement comprising moving an actuator assembly between a first position, wherein a first fitting at one end of a fluid treatment assembly and a first fitting of a manifold assembly are uncoupled from one another and a second fitting at an opposite end of the fluid treatment assembly and a second fitting of the manifold assembly are uncoupled from one another, and a second position, wherein the first fittings of the fluid treatment assembly and the manifold assembly are sealingly coupled to one another and the second fittings of the fluid treatment assembly and the manifold assembly are sealingly coupled to one another, thereby allowing fluid to flow between the first fittings and between the second fittings.
