German term

Filtersitz

German to English Tech/Engineering Chemistry; Chem Sci/Eng
This is from the maintenance instructions for a laminar flow hood.

Reinigen Sie den Filtersitz, nachdem Sie den Filter entfernt haben.

On several German websites, I’ve seen this translated as “filter seat”. But it just sounds so Denglishy. This can’t be the correct term in English, can it?

Johannes Gleim Dec 21, 2022:
@ Brent HEPA filters usually consist of a filter frame and several filter mats. These are seated or lying in the frame. The filter frame is the outer component that receives the filter mat. The filter seat relates to the tight sealing to the frame. This sealing must be denser than the filter mat so that no unfiltered air containing suspended matter penetrates and renders the filter ineffective. Therefore, the mat is pressed into the cleaned and smoothed frame.

The cleaning procedure suggests that the good fit of the filter mat in the frame is meant here, and not the filter frame.

Brent • All interior surfaces are epoxy painted filter seat is carefully formed, installed and checked for leakage.

@ Brent 1. There also are US Patents which use 'filter seat'.
2. To the best of my knowledge, patents should never be machine translated, they are legal documents.
3.I also found the term 'filter seat' in manuals of UK and US companies.
Brent Sørensen (asker) Dec 21, 2022:

It’s still hard not to be wary of words like “filter seat”.

Many instances are found in Google patents (which often seem to be machine translated) or on German websites.

But I dug a bit deeper and found it in some original English publications. So I’ll probably go with that.
Johannes Gleim Dec 21, 2022:
@ Jakub Please distinguish the filter frame from the filter seat

When installing the air filter in the air-conditioning system, for example, the tongue-and-groove design ensures that the filter frame with foam gasket is firmly connected to the counterpart on the filter seat.

The new material of the frame at the longitudinal side still cares for an optimal sealing in the filter seat.

From your link:
Continuous neoprene sponge rubber seals are provided on the filter frame for effctive sealing.

The device automatically advances clean filter medium into the filter seat or window when the differential pressure rises to a predetermined level replacing dirty filter medium with clean filter medium.

The filter seat has rubber padding for a perfect rubber to rubber sealing. The Front & side panels are made of transparent acrylic sheet.

The method describes placing a conventional filter in the filter frame and adjusting its length to accommodate the selected filter, the filter can then be placed within the air handling system in a usual seat without fear of dislodgement due to flexing or bending of the air filter when it becomes loaded with dust and debris.
:
Thereafter the filter and frame combination can be placed in an air duct filter seat of a heating or air conditioning system. The frame will stabilize the filter and prevent it from dislodging from its seated position.

(Please note, that the filter frame is an outer casing for the filter)

Removal of the filter element:
1. Loosen gland and remove with the filter seat.
2. Pull old filter element from the filter seat
3. Insert a clean filter element and knock lightly into filter seat with a plastic hammer.
4. Re-insert the filter seat and screw-in the gland. [200 Nm at 9/16“ 1550 and 4500 bar; 150 Nm at 1/4“ and 3/8“ 4500 bar ; 100 Nm at 1/4“ and 3/8“ 1550 bar]

:
• Inner sealing (filter seat) according to DIN 25 496 Leakage volume flow < 3 · 10 -5 of rated volume flow at Δp = 2,000 Pa

Laminar Air Flow (Horizontal) (PLT-270)
:
• All interior surfaces are epoxy painted b>filter seat is carefully formed, installed and checked for leakage.
• :
• Side panels & front doors are made of 6 mm thick acrylic transparent plexi glass.
• The highly efficient HEPA filter maintains the optimum cleanliness and purity.
• The pre-filter fitted extends the life of HEPA filter drastically. Air drawn through pre-filter is made to pass through highly effective HEPA (High Efficiency Particular Air) filters having efficiency rating as high as 99.99% with cold DOP and 99.97% with hot DOP, thus retaining all air-borne particles of size 0.3 micron and larger.
