Abstract:
The invention relates to a water-separating fuel filter (1) comprising an outer housing (2) which has a cover (4) forming a detachable filter head and a bowl (3), and a replaceable filtering element (6) which includes a lower flange (12), an annular filtering medium (7) having an inner surface (7b) which defines an inner space (9). The filtering element (6) defines, inside the housing, an upstream area (Z1) communicating with a fuel intake (4a) and a downstream area (Z2) communicating with an outlet (4b), and separates the water in the inner space which communicates with a lower compartment (V2) for collecting water and with the outlet (4b). The filtering element includes a water level sensor having two detection poles (24a, 24b) which are close to the flange (12) and are connected via the inner space (9) to two terminals separated by a connection interface detachably connecting to two corresponding separated contacts of the cover.
Abstract:
A filtration apparatus (2), comprising a pressurised cylindrical pressure vessel (4) having a longitudinal axis (X); a shaft (8) having a longitudinal axis (Y) extending parallel to the longitudinal axis (X) of the pressure vessel (4); a plurality of rotatable membrane filter discs (6) arranged along the length of the shaft (8). The membrane filter discs (6) are spaced from each other attached to the shaft (8) and oriented transverse to the longitudinal axis (Y) of the shaft (8). The interior (10) of the membrane filter discs (6) are in fluid communication with a permeate discharge channel (12) extending parallel to the longitudinal axis (X) of the pressure vessel (4). The pressure vessel (4) has a cylindrical inner geometry without any significant obstruction elements. The longitudinal axis (X) of the pressure vessel (4) is laterally offset from the longitudinal axis (Y) of the shaft (8) and/or the membrane filter discs (6) are oval-shaped.
Abstract:
A pool filter core, comprising two portions, a first portion and a second portion, wherein each of the two portions may be halved or truncated cylinders, wherein the portions are configured to engage one another along the vertical edges of the portions, such that when the portions engage one another, an open cylinder is formed that is configured to support a filter substrate and allow for water to flow from outside to inside.
Abstract:
A filter cartridge for installation in a housing having a housing seat includes a filtration media compiled in a cylindrical pack having a radially outer face, a radially inner face defining a central cavity, a first axial end face, and a second axial end face. An end cap having an attachment portion is bonded and sealed to an axial end of the filtration media. A hub portion connects the attachment portion to a non-circular locking portion axially spaced from the attachment portion. The locking portion extends radially beyond the width of the hub portion and includes a sealing face having at least one annular sealing element for sealing against the housing seat.

Abstract:
A pleated filter element extends axially between an upstream inlet and a downstream outlet along a plurality of axially extending bend lines forming axial flow channels. The bend lines taper in a transverse direction and define a plurality of axially elongated tetrahedron channels facing oppositely to each other.
Abstract:
A filter insert, a sample vial incorporating a filter insert, a method of using a sample vial containing a filter insert for chemical analysis, and a sample vial kit including a filter insert. The filter insert includes a cylindrical body having a proximal end, a protrusion extending radially from the proximal end of the cylindrical body and configured to set on the open end of a sample vial, a distal end, a cavity extending longitudinally through the cylindrical body from the proximal end to the distal end, and a filter assembly coupled with the distal end of the cylindrical body.
Abstract:
A support structure for an interior volume of a construction of pleated media is operably oriented in the interior volume and structurally supports the media. The support structure can pass directly through an innermost 60% of the interior volume. It can have a void volume not more than 80%. It can be inner liner-free and extend in a non-curved path. It can include a first sheet and second sheet of porous material. At least a first brace construction secures the first sheet and second sheet together and in spaced apart, opposing relation. The support structure can include a pleated construction having pleats extending in a direction non-parallel and angled to the direction of pleats of the pleated filter media. The support structure can be molded spacers.
Abstract:
The present device is a detachable core for use with a cylindrical filter cartridge. The core includes a wire frame including at least two vertical struts oriented along a longitudinal direction. The wire frame includes an upper ring and a lower ring mounted to the distal ends of the vertical struts and further includes an upper flange and a lower flange mounted to the upper and lower rings respectively, wherein the lower flange is detachably mounted to the lower ring. Preferably the lower ring includes a gap in the lower ring to enable resilient compression of the ring by squeezing the lower ring in a radial inward direction prior to engagement with the lower flange. Preferably the cartridge filter includes elastomeric end caps and the cooperating rings and flanges are non-circular such that the elastomeric end caps conforms to the non-circular shape of the upper and lower flanges.
