Title: Moving bed filter, especially an absorption filter

Abstract

Moving bed filter for purifying a fluid formed of gas and/or vapor, the filter having a flow of loose particulate material downwardly from above, and a continuous flow upwardly from below of a fluid to be filtered, and including a container filled with the loose particulate material and having at least one closeable inlet opening at the top thereof for introducing the loose particulate material, and a downwardly tapering bottom having a closeable outlet port for discharging the loose particulate material, fluid inlet ports disposed in a bottom region and fluid exhaust tubes arranged in an upper region of the container and extending parallel to one another from one container wall to the opposite container wall, and being provided at inflow and at outflow sides thereof with an upper roof cover and a lower V-profile cover, respectively, serving as a flow-equalizing symmetrical flow guide element for the loose particulate material, a support grate formed of downwardly directed V-shaped cover of sieve-like construction connected at each fluid exhaust tube to the upper cover thereof forming a roof-shaped symmetrical flow-guide element, the upper covers being spaced a distance of four to ten times the width of the roof gap between each twomore » adjacent flow guide elements and between a flow-guide element and the container wall, respectively, roof edges of each upper cover projecting beyond the respective downwardly directed V-shaped cover, and sliders disposed at the underside of the support grate for closing the lower roof gaps between the louver-like roofs.« less
