Abstract
The present invention relates to a module for filtering, separating, purifying gases or liquids, or for catalytic conversion, comprising: - a substantially cylindrical housing (13), - at least one rigid element (4) of which at least one end (5) is substantially cylindrical and whose axis is parallel to that of the housing (13), - at least one elastically deformable metal part in the form of a ring (6), fixed firstly to the housing (13) and connected secondly to said end (5) of said element (4), characterized in that the joint between said ring (6) and said end (5) of said element (4) is a hoop fitting.
Claims17
A module for filtering, separating and purifying fluids such as gases or liquids, or for catalytic conversion, comprising:
- a substantially cylindrical housing having an internal surface and an external surface which define a housing wall,
- at least one rigid element, which is placed inside said housing, which is made from a dense or porous material selected from a group consisting of a ceramic, carbon, sintered glass and sintered metal, which has opposite ends, of which at least one of the opposite ends is substantially cylindrical, which has an external surface, and which has an axis parallel to that of the housing,
- at least one metal part in the form of an elastically deformable ring, fixed firstly to the housing and connected secondly to said one end of said element,
- a connection, between said ring and said one end of said element, comprising a thermal or mechanical hoop fitting, said ring being hoop fitted on said one end or vice versa;
- and
- an open volume, limited by the internal surface of said housing and the external surface of said element, through which said fluids are allowed to propagate.
A module for filtering, separating and purifying fluids such as gases or liquids, or for catalytic conversion, comprising:
- a substantially cylindrical stainless steel metal housing having an internal surface and an external surface which define a housing wall,
- at least one rigid treatment element which has opposite ends, which is placed inside said housing, and which is porous and is made from a material selected from a group consisting of a ceramic, carbon and sintered metal,
- at least one connecting piece which is carried by one of said opposite ends, which is dense, which is substantially cylindrical, and which has an axis parallel to that of said housing,
- at least one nickel-rich metal part in the form of an elastically deformable ring, which is welded to said housing and which also is connected to said connecting piece, and
- a connection, between said ring and said connecting piece, comprising a thermal or mechanical hoop fitting, said ring being hoop fitted on said connecting piece or vice versa.
