Abstract
A unit cell for fluid fractionating apparatus, fractionating apparatus including such cells and methods of making the cells in which a plurality of hollow fibers are arranged linearly in at least one groove formed in a core, the groove or grooves supporting all or part of the hollow fibers and acting as a bed for said fibers, two end walls of hardened glue securing the hollow fibers to one another and at their ends these walls being firmly secured to the core. The core may be for example of channel shaped, H-shaped, cross-shaped or star-shaped cross-section, and the cell may be enclosed in a jacket having at least one fluid inlet and at least one fluid outlet passage. The construction of the cells makes for easy manufacture by winding the fibers or bundling the fibers and placing them in the grooves of the core and securing them in place by the hardened glue end walls.
