Abstract:
A filter element (16) may include a tubular member (46), including a first end portion (60), with the first end portion being substantially open, at least partially defining an inlet port (62) configured to provide flow communication into a first chamber (56) of the tubular member, and at least partially defining an outlet port (64) configured to provide flow communication from a second chamber (58). The tubular member may further include a second end portion (61), with the second end portion being located at an end of the tubular member opposite the first end portion. The tubular member may also include at least one outlet aperture (68), at least one inlet aperture (74), and a vent tube (88) extending longitudinally between the first end portion and the second end portion. The vent tube may be configured to provide flow communication between the first end portion and the second end portion of the tubular member.
Abstract:
A filter element (16) may include a tubular member (46) including an end portion (60) at least partially defining an inlet port (62) configured to provide flow communication to a filter medium (48) of the filter element, and at least partially defining an outlet port (64) configured to provide flow communication from the filter medium. The filter element may further include a filter medium associated with the tubular element, and an end cap (50) associated with the end portion of the tubular member and the filter medium. The end cap may include a plate (142) transverse to the longitudinal axis ( X ) of the tubular member, and a sealing wall (146) coupled to the plate and extending transverse to the plate. The sealing wall may include a seal portion (148) configured to be compressed between a filter canister (14) and a portion of a filter base (12) to provide a seal between the filter canister and the portion of the filter base.
Abstract:
A filter element may include a tubular element defining an internal space, and a retainer element associated with a first end of the tubular element, wherein the retainer element is configured to be coupled to a first housing. The filter element may also include a valve seat member in the internal space. The valve seat member may include a valve seat aperture configured to provide a fluid seal with a valve poppet. The filter element may further include first and second end caps associated with ends of the tubular element. The filter element may also include filter media around the tubular element, and the second end cap may be configured to provide a fluid seal between the filter element and a drain passage in a second housing, such that as the filter element is separated from the second housing, fluid flows from the filter element into the drain passage.

Abstract:
A filter element may include a tubular member, and tubular member may include a partition at least partially defining first and second chambers. The tubular member may further include an end portion at least partially defining an inlet port configured to provide flow communication into the first chamber, and at least partially defining an outlet port configured to provide flow communication from the second chamber. The tubular member may further include a cover portion at the end portion of the tubular member, with the cover portion extending from the partition. The cover portion may be configured to at least partially cover a longitudinal end of the second chamber. The filter element may further include a filter medium associated with at least one outlet aperture and the at least one inlet aperture of the tubular member.

Abstract:
A filter element (100) is disclosed. The filter element (100) includes an angled first end cap (106) and a second end cap (108), each having angled surfaces. The first and second end caps (106, 108) each include an inner sidewall (118) and an outer sidewall (126) projecting longitudinally from the respective angled surfaces. The outer sidewall (126) is axially spaced apart from the inner sidewall (118). Further, the inner sidewall (118) defines a centrally disposed through-hole (104) on the respective first and second end caps (106, 108). The filter element (100) also includes a filter media (102) disposed between the first and second end caps (106, 108). A first and a second locking mechanism are respectively provided on the first and second end caps (106, 108). Further, the second locking mechanism of the filter element (100) is configured to abut completely with the first locking mechanism of another filter element (100).
Abstract:
A filter element (16) may include a tubular member (46) including a partition (54) at least partially defining first and second chambers (56, 58). The partition may be configured to prevent flow communication between the first and second chambers within the tubular member. The tubular member may further include an inlet port (62) configured to provide flow communication into the first chamber, and an outlet port (64) configured to provide flow communication from the second chamber. The tubular member may also include at least one outlet aperture (66) configured to provide flow communication out of the first chamber, and at least one inlet aperture (72) configured to provide flow communication into the second chamber. The filter element may also include a filter medium (48) associated with the at least one outlet and inlet apertures. The filter element may be configured such that fluid passing through the filter element passes through both the first chamber and the second chamber.
