Abstract
A device () comprises filtering means () for removing particles from a fluid, which have a particle collecting face () for collecting particles during use of the device (), and a chamber () in which a fluid is present and in which the filtering means () are arranged. An inlet () of the chamber () comprises a spouting part () which serves for spouting the fluid to be filtered in a direction towards the particle collecting face () of the filtering means (). An arrangement of the spouting part () and the particle collecting face () with respect to each other is adapted to generate, during operation of the device (), a rotating flow pattern in the fluid that is present in the chamber () under the influence of the flow of the fluid to be filtered, whereby particles can be blown away from the particle collecting face ().
