Abstract:
A horizontal pressure filter including a washing liquid recovery channel for receiving unused washing liquid from the washing liquid inlet channel and conducting said unused washing liquid to a washing liquid recovery outlet. A flow controller arranged to selectively open and close a flow connection between the washing liquid inlet channel and the washing liquid recovery channel, and respectively, between a compressed gas inlet and the washing liquid inlet channel, such that a gas flow from the compressed gas inlet to the washing liquid recovery channel via the washing liquid inlet channel may be induced, so as to flush unused washing liquid remaining in the washing liquid inlet channel to the washing liquid recovery outlet.

Claim (Index 30):
A method of operating a horizontal pressure filter, comprising the steps of:\n providing a horizontal pressure filter according to  claim 19 ; feeding slurry into the filter chamber via the slurry feed channel, and receiving filtrate from the filter chamber via the filtrate outlet channel; feeding unused washing liquid into the filter chamber via the washing liquid inlet channel and receiving used washing liquid from the filter chamber via the washing liquid discharge channel; recovering unused washing liquid remaining in the washing liquid inlet channel to the washing liquid recovery channel by opening a flow connection between the washing liquid inlet channel and the washing liquid recovery channel, and respectively, between the compressed gas inlet and the washing liquid inlet channel, such that a gas flow from the compressed gas inlet to the washing liquid recovery channel via the washing liquid inlet channel is induced.
