An
ion exchange filter arrangement (10) comprising: a housing suitable for receiving a
coolant (12); a container area (22) for an
ion exchange filter (32) which is defined within the housing (12) and is suitable for accommodating an
ion exchange filter (32), wherein the
ion exchange filter container area (22) forms a first
coolant flow path (F1) within the housing (12); and with a bypass line (24) for
coolant, which is defined within the housing (12) and forms a second
coolant flow path (F2) in a flow arrangement parallel to the first
coolant flow path (F1), wherein the second
coolant flow path (F2) surrounds the first coolant flow path (F1) and is concentric to the first coolant flow path (F1), further comprising an annular wall (44) which is arranged inside the housing (12) and defines the ion exchanger filter vessel area (22) and the bypass line (24) for the coolant, wherein the
ion exchange filter arrangement (10) defines a coolant inlet (56) and a coolant outlet (28) with first (F1) and second coolant flow paths (F2), each path extending from the coolant inlet (56) to the coolant outlet (28) and the annular wall (44) extending longitudinally between the coolant inlet (56) and the coolant outlet (28) to separate the first (F1) and second coolant flow paths (F2) from each other, and wherein the inlets of the first (F1) and second coolant flow paths (F2) communicate with each other at the coolant inlet (56) and outlets of the first (F1) and second coolant flow paths (F2) communicate with each other at the coolant outlet (28), wherein an
ion exchange filter (32) is arranged in the ion exchange filter container area (22) of the housing (12), wherein the coolant bypass line (24) is defined at a location radially between an outer side of the annular wall (44) and an inner side of the housing (12), further comprising a container tube (34) defining a coolant inlet and a coolant outlet (52) and having the ion exchange filter (32) attached therein, wherein the container tube (34) contains the annular wall (44) and the bypass line (24) contains a bypass line inlet (54) defined radially from the annular wall (44) and communicating with the coolant inlet (56), wherein the first coolant flow path (F1) defines a first outlet and the second coolant flow path (F2) defines a second outlet near the first outlet, the first and second outlets communicating with each other at the outlet (28) of the casing (12), the second coolant flow path (F2) being capable of generating a localized low-pressure region in the coolant as the coolant from the second flow path (F2) flows past the first outlet, the outlet of the container tube (34) comprising an annular projection (62) extending longitudinally outward from a base region (64) of the container tube (34).
