Abstract:
Hydraulically or pneumatically controlled seat valve (2), in particular a pressure control valve, having a valve seat (10) formed in a base part (4) which cooperates with the sealing surface of a valve body (8) displaceably disposed in a cover part (6), wherein the base part (4) and the cover part (6) are connected to each other, the base part (4) having an at least sectionally circumferential collar (18) which faces radially outwardly for mounting the seat valve (2) to a further component (60), in particular to a housing, using a welded joint.
Abstract:
A filtration module (10) is provided which includes a manifold (12), a filter cartridge (16) and a bowl (14) which houses the filter cartridge (16). The filter cartridge (16) and bowl (14) are connected to each other by a flange (15) on an end cap (30) of the filter cartridge (16) which fits into collar (34) on the bowl to form a unitary construction. The filter cartridge (16) and bowl (14) are in fluid communication with the manifold (12) in a manner which prevents mixing of a fluid feed to the module (10) and a permeate removed from the module (10).
Abstract:
A filter assembly includes a housing with a central standpipe, and cover for enclosing a filter element. The filter element includes a ring of filtration media and first and second end caps. A vent orifice is formed in the first end cap into the central cavity of the media ring. A support core is disposed centrally in the media ring and extends between the first and second end caps. The core includes a separate and independent fluid channel extending from the first end cap that is fluidly connected with the vent orifice, to the second end cap. The second end cap has a central opening, and an annular sealing device bounding the opening which receives and seals to the standpipe and includes through-passages fluidly interconnecting the fluid channel in the core with flow opening(s) along the standpipe or in the lower end of the housing to a drain port.
Abstract:
A filter apparatus comprises a filter element to be positioned in an interior region defined by a housing. The filter element comprises a quick-drain valve member to block a flow of fluid from the interior region through a quick-drain outlet defined by the housing when the filter element is positioned in the interior region and to allow a flow of fluid from the interior region through the quick-drain outlet when the filter element is removed from the interior region.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a filter, such as an oil filter for a combustion engine. The inventive filter includes a filter housing and a valve, such as a non-return valve, a filter bypassing valve or a drain valve, that is arranged in the filter housing. According to the invention, the valve body of said valve is arranged at a combination component which is provided with a connector for connecting at least one additional filter component, such as an additional valve or a filter inset, to the combination component.
Abstract:
A filter assembly includes a filter cap having a filter chamber defined therein. The filter cap includes a side wall having an opening defined therein. A fluid filter is positioned in the filter chamber. A spring-loaded detent button is movably secured to the filter cap and extends into the filter chamber. When the detent button is depressed by a user, the end of the detent button positioned in the filter chamber contacts the fluid filter thereby releasing the fluid filter from the filter cap. An associated method for replacing a fluid filter is also disclosed.
Abstract:
A separate filter cartridge and latch release are used to replace a used filter cartridge in a filter assembly having a latch. In one example, the filter cartridge includes opposing end caps that are substantially the same as one another. The end caps have central holes. The filter cartridge is inserted into a filter assembly housing in which the latch prevents a cover from being installed onto a filter assembly housing until the latch is deactivated. The latch release is arranged relative to the filter cartridge to cooperate with the latch to enable the cover to be reattached to the filter assembly housing. The latch release includes tabs that align with features of the latch and extend through the central holes to cooperate with the latch. The latch release is removably secured to the cover and the filter cartridge.
Abstract:
A filtration module (10) is provided which includes a manifold (12), a filter cartridge (16) and a bowl (14) which houses the filter cartridge (16). The filter cartridge (16) and bowl (14) are connected to each other by a key (30) which is secured to flat surfaces (38) on the cartridge (16) to form a unitary construction. The filter cartridge (16) and bowl (14) are in fluid communication with the manifold (12) in a manner which prevents mixing of a fluid feed to the module (10) and a permeate removed from the module (10).
Abstract:
aP2 inhibiting compounds are provided having the formula wherein A, X, R and Z are as described herein. A method is also provided for treating diabetes and related diseases, especially Type II diabetes, employing such aP2 inhibitors alone or in combination with other therapeutic agents, including other antidiabetic agent such as metformin, glyburide, troglitazone and/or insulin.
Abstract:
A fluid filter is provided with a snap-together housing for the filter media. The housing is designed with two main parts that are easily snapped together to encapsulate the filter media. The filter housing is substantially cylindrical, and contains an inlet on one end of the filter and an outlet on the opposing end. The filter can be designed so as to be opened for the replacement of the filter media.
