Abstract

The invention relates to a horizontal filter with a filter housing, in which an arrangement of superimposed, spaced filter elements is contained, and with distributor means supplying liquid to be filtered to the filter arrangement in a main direction of flow from below to the top, from which supply lines for the supply of liquid to be filtered branch off to the individual filter elements. A horizontal filter with a higher throughput is provided by the invention, since it is provided that the distributor means comprises distributor lines guided between the wall of the filter housing and the filter arrangement and supply lines in each case distributed across the circumference of the individual filter elements and branching off from the distributor lines, and that the supply lines are in each case provided with a flow reduction chamber, which has at least one communication opening to a distributor line and at least one outlet opening for the discharge of liquid to be filtered above the allocated filter element.
