Claim 0:
1. A filter assembly adapted to be assembled with a plate heat exchanger comprising inlet and outlet ports for passage of a working medium and a cooling or heating fluid, respectively, the filter assembly comprising:
a proximal flange;
a distal flange; and
at least one filter tube attached at respective ends to the proximal flange and the distal flange, respectively,
wherein the filter assembly is dimensioned to fit into the inlet or outlet ports of the plate heat exchanger,
wherein the at least one filter tube is adapted to receive an elongated filter element therein,
wherein the at least one filter tube comprises a plurality of inlet holes arranged on a circumferential surface thereof,
wherein the distal flange comprises at least one through-going outlet aperture in fluid communication with an interior of the at least one filter tube,
wherein the plurality of inlet holes is arranged substantially in a longitudinal direction of the at least one filter tube and is located substantially in a same angular position with respect to a longitudinal axis of the at least one filter tube,
wherein the filter assembly further comprises a plurality of filter tubes,
wherein the distal flange comprises a plurality of through-going outlet apertures, each through-going outlet aperture of the plurality of through-going outlet apertures being in fluid communication with the interior of a respective one of the plurality of filter tubes, and
wherein the proximal flange comprises a plurality of through-going access holes, each through-going access hole of the plurality of through-going access holes being aligned with a respective one of the plurality of filter tubes.
