Abstract:
1. A mounting assembly for mounting a filtration module, comprising: a mounting interface that has a protruding portion, the protruding portion has sidewalls that extend in a direction substantially perpendicular to the filtration module and a first pair of through holes that extend through the sidewalls; a mounting bracket connectable to the mounting interface, the mounting bracket has a plate structure that has a major surface and sidewalls that extend from opposite sides of the major surface in a direction substantially perpendicular to the filtration module, and the sidewalls have a second pair of through holes, one of the mounting interface and the mounting bracket has an open area between the sidewalls, the open area is received by the other of the protruding portion or plate structure, and mates with the protruding portion or plate structure; and a retention component connects the mounting interface and the mounting bracket, the retention component retains the protruding portion or plate structure within the open area of the other of the protruding portion or plate structure, wherein the first pair of through holes of the mounting interface aligns with the second pair of through holes of the mounting bracket, wherein the retention component is a pin that is inserted through the first pair of through holes and the second pair of through holes in a direction that is substantially parallel to the major surface of the plate structure to retain the mounting interface to the mounting bracket, and wherein the retention component includes a material having a lower stress margin than the mounting bracket and the mounting interface.
