Abstract:
A filter cartridge is described that is designed to accommodate for example dual stage filtration. The filter cartridge has an endplate structure formed of a heat cured material, such as polyurethane, where at least one of the top end and the bottom end of the outer filter and the inner filter are embedded within the heat cured material. The heat cured material can provide an endplate structure that is convenient for manufacture and that has one or more sealing surfaces to seal with a housing that the filter cartridge is assembled with. For example, the heat cured material of the endplate can seal non-filtered fluid from filtered fluid that has passed through each of the filtration stages available in the cartridge.
Abstract:
A filter arrangement includes a filter cartridge having a first filter element and a second filter element. The first filter element includes a first tubular section of filter media extending between first and second end caps and defining a first open filter interior. The second filter element includes a second tubular section of filter media operably oriented in the first open filter interior. The second tubular section of filter media extends between third and fourth end caps and defines a second open filter interior. The first end cap defines an inner container and an outer container circumscribing the inner container. The outer container is secured to the first tubular section of filter media. The inner container has an end wall axially spaced from the outer container. The third end cap has a media end secured to the second tubular section of filter media and a tubular wall axially extending from the media end. The tubular wall is circumscribed by the inner container of the first end cap. The filter arrangement further includes a housing for the cartridge, and can be either a spin-on or a bowl-cartridge filter. The filter arrangement is usable in a hydraulic system including a sump; an implement valve; a pump; and a filter head in fluid communication with the sump, implement valve, pump, and filter arrangement.
Abstract:
A filter element (10) includes a first, outer tubular construction (12) of filter media defining a first open filter interior; a second, inner tuber construction (18) of filter media defining a second open filter interior; the second construction of filter media being located within the first open filter interior and being radially spaced from the first construction of filter media; and the second open filter interior defines an unfiltered fluid channel (24). A plastic inner liner (16) is within the first open filter interior to support the first construction of filter media. A plastic outer liner (18) is within the first open filter interior to support the second construction of filter media. A filtered fluid channel (20) is defined between the inner liner and the outer liner. A brace arrangement (36) is between the first and second tubular constructions. The brace arrangement can include a spring, a plurality of gussets, or a solid spacer.
Abstract:
A filtering apparatus (10) includes a container barrel (20) and a detachable filtering unit (40) detachably mounted inside the container barrel (20). The detachable filtering unit (40) has a top lid (41), a bottom lid (42), and a plurality of filter cores (43) sandwiched between the top lid (41) and the bottom lid (42). Because the filtering apparatus (10) has the detachable filtering unit (40) that can be totally taken out from the container barrel (20), the works of replacing the filter cores (43) and washing the container barrel (20), especially the bottom portion of the container barrel (20), can be conveniently done.

Abstract:
A fluid filtering apparatus and method may include keyed components to ensure that a correct filter element is being installed into a filter base. Keyed arrangements may occur between a filter element and a filter housing, a filter and a filter base, and a filter base and a filter housing. A locking arrangement may be provided to prevent undesired loosening of a filter relative to a filter base. The filter base may include a torsion lock insert that engages lock detents of a filter to prevent the undesired loosening. An adaptor may be provided to provide the lock detents that interact with a torsion lock insert.
Abstract:
A filter element for cleaning fluids comprises : a) a jacket body (5), enclosing a filter cavity with passages (7) for cleaned fluid, b) an end cap (9) closing the jacket body (5) at one end, c) a mounting (15) closing the jacket body (5) at the other end with at least one passage (39) for the inlet of the fluid for cleaning into an inlet region (29) within the cavity, d) a filter medium (1) running between the end cap (9) and the mounting (15) through which the fluid for cleaning may flow from the inlet region (29) and e) at least one permanent magnetic component (33), extending from the inside of the mounting (15) into the inlet region (29).
