Abstract:
Disclosed is a filter element (86) with multi-stage cleaning, and a fuel filter (84) having such a filter element (86). The filter element (86) has a particle filter medium, a coalescer medium, a sediment gap (98) and a final separator screen. The filter housing has a filter housing body (110) and a cover (106) screwed onto the filter housing body (110). When the cover (106) is unscrewed from the filter housing body (110), at least one bayonet projection (112) of the filter element (86) engages behind a corresponding bayonet receptacle (114), such that the cover (106) can be removed together with the filter element (86) arranged thereon by way of the bayonet connection.
Abstract:
A filter cartridge having an endplate formed of polyurethane having a varying hardness is described. A first portion of the endplate is harder than a second portion of the endplate. The first portion of the endplate helps support the filter media of the filter element and maintain the shape of the filter element. The second, softer portion creates a seal between the filter element and a filter housing when the filter element is installed in the filter housing. The first portion and separate portions may be formed from different types of polyurethane or from the same type of polyurethane having a varying composition as a function of the radial distance of the endplate.
Abstract:
A seal comprises a lid that is rotary-mounted to a filter container base and has a body with at least two stub pipes and an internal part attached to the body in which are formed circulation ducts positioned as an extension of the stub pipes in opened position, and at least one bypass duct connecting the stub pipes in closed position. The internal part is attached to the body using a rotary bayonet mount by rotating to closed position in which the stub pipes are connected by the bypass duct, and the body together with the attached internal part are attached to the base using a rotate-and-lock bayonet mount. In closed position the internal part is attached to the base in a stationary manner using a longitudinal head joint formed on the joined elements, and the changing to opened position occurs by rotating the body in the rotate-and-lock bayonet mount.
Abstract:
A filter cartridge (30) for filtering fuel, comprising a filter wall (31) having a tubular shape, a first support plate (32) fixed to an end of the filter wall (31) and a second support plate (33) fixed to the opposite end of the filter wall, each support plate (32, 33) defining a respective portion (324,325;335,336) of a discharge conduit (324,325; 50; 335,336) of the water which separates from the fuel during filtration of the fuel; the peculiarity of the invention consists in the fact that it comprises a connecting cannula (50) able to connect the portions (324,325;335,336) and arranged externally of the filter wall (31).
Abstract:
A filter remover removes a cylindrical filter element housed in a housing through an opening provided in the housing. The filter remover includes: an attachment portion provided with a screw to be screwed onto the opening; an insert portion that includes a base end integrated with the attachment portion and a tip end in a form of a free end, that is elastically deformable in a radial direction orthogonal to an axial direction of the filter element in conjunction with a movement in the axial direction caused when the attachment portion is screwed, and that is inserted through the opening into a center hole provided in the filter element as the attachment portion is screwed; and an engaging portion that is provided at the tip end and that is engaged with the filter element after the attachment portion is moved for a predetermined amount when the attachment portion is screwed.
Abstract:
A filter cartridge has a longitudinal axis and comprises a housing, a filter element, a first collar and a second collar. The housing has a generally cylindrical sidewall and defines an open first end, an axially opposite second end, and a flange projecting radially away from the axis at the first end. The filter element has a ring of filter media circumscribing the axis and extending between first and second end caps. A ledge projects radially from an inner surface of the second collar. The second collar has an annular sidewall having a shoulder projecting from an inner surface. The ledge and the shoulder radially overlap to retain the flange. The first collar may define axially-oriented grooves configured to receive corresponding radial projections of the first end cap, axially securing the filter element within the housing.
Abstract:
A liquid filter cartridge is provided. Preferred seal arrangements are provided, to provide for preferred axial load conditions, with respect to one or more of the end caps of the cartridge. Some cartridge configurations provided include no core structure or outer liner structure therein, to support axial load. Assemblies using the cartridge, and methods of assembly and use, are provided. The liquid filter cartridge can be a serviceable cartridge, or it can be retained permanently in a housing.
Abstract:
A fluid filter element for use in fuel filtration systems is disclosed. The filter element comprises, in an example embodiment, top and bottom end caps; filter media extending between the end caps and forming a central volume between the end caps; and an inner liner disposed in the central volume of the filter media between the end caps. A fluid passage is positioned in the inner liner extending between the end caps, the fluid passage being separate and independent of the flow through the filter media. A first seal is affixed to the bottom end cap; and a second seal with a central opening is affixed to the lower end of the inner liner. The inner lining may provide partial axial support to the filter media. An outer lining may also be included and provide partial axial support to the filter media.
Abstract:
A sealing device for sealing a slide plate in a polymer filtration apparatus where the slide plate is translatable across an extrusion bore extending through a housing of the polymer filtration apparatus. A spring device can be positioned around the outer periphery surfaces of the seal for axially biasing the sealing surface of the seal against the slide plate with a preload bias. Increasing pressure of polymer in the extrusion bore can enter a region in the seal cavity upstream of the thrust surface of the seal and can provide polymer pressure in the axial direction for exerting axial force against the thrust surface of the seal for causing the sealing surface to be further biased against the slide plate.
Abstract:
A spin-on filter that eliminates the use of a nut plate and reduces the number of separate components. Instead, the spin-on filter utilizes the end plate of the filter cartridge to perform a number of functions, including closing the open end of the filter shell, sealing between the dirty and clean fluid sides, sealing between the filter and the mounting head to prevent leakage outside the filter to environment, attaching the filter cartridge to the shell, and sealing the end of the filter media.
