AI Technical Summary
The existing capsule filters lack attention in the shell structural design, resulting in uneven pressure tolerance and affecting filtration efficiency and accuracy.
3D printing technology is used to simulate the real filter shell. Through pressure testing of different shell diameters, the shell with the lowest pressure is selected as the bladder filter shell, and the sealing ring and threaded interface design is designed to ensure stable connection.
By optimizing the housing diameter, the flow efficiency of the bladder filter under different pressures was improved, and the optimal housing diameter was determined to be 82mm, which improved the filtration accuracy and flow rate.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention provides a method for determining the shell size of a bursa filter, belongs to the technical field of filtration and separation, and is widely used in pharmaceutical engineering, biotechnology, microelectronics and other related fields. Background Art
[0002] Capsule filter is a highly efficient and compact filtering device, which is widely used in pharmaceutical, biotechnology, food and beverage and chemical industries. Its design adopts advanced filtering technology to separate solid particles, microorganisms and other impurities in liquid through filter membranes of different pore sizes, ensuring the high efficiency and safety of the filtering process.
[0003] The Chinese capsule filter market has shown a steady growth in recent years. With the advancement and innovation of technology, the filtration accuracy and flow rate of capsule filters have been significantly improved. At the same time, in order to meet the needs of different industries, the specifications of filters and the types of filter media have become more diversified. However, most of the capsule filters produced in China do not pay attention to the design of the shell structure. Summary of the invention
[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for determining the size of a capsule filter housing. A 3D printed housing is used to simulate a real capsule filter housing, and the pressures borne by capsule filter housings with different housing diameters are different, so the housing with the lowest pressure drop is selected as the capsule filter housing.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to achieve the above-mentioned purpose is as follows: first, The membrane pore size is 1um filter element, and then a series of upper and lower shells are 3D printed using 8228 photosensitive resin. The shell thickness is 4mm and the diameters are 70, 74, 78, 82, 86, and 90mm respectively. The middle of the shell is fastened with a sealing ring and a clamp. An externally rotating NPT threaded interface is set in the lower part of the shell. At the same time, a spiral part is 3D printed at the bottom. The spiral part matches the externally rotating NPT threaded interface set in the lower part of the shell, and can be attached to the tail of the purchased Pall product by hot melt adhesive. The size of the externally rotating NPT threaded interface and the spiral part are fixed.
[0006] Use the purchased filter element and capsule filters with different shell diameters to test the flow rate under different pressures. Draw a curve based on the gap between the shell and the filter element (shell inner diameter minus filter element outer diameter divided by 2) and the flow rate under different pressures. Determine the optimal shell diameter. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
