Abstract:
A filter element (32) and a filter device (10). The filter element (32) can be arranged in a filter housing (16) of the filter device. The filter element (32) has an annular closed filter medium (34) connected with at least at one end face with an end member (36, 38). An annular anti-drain membrane (44) opens and closes at least one fluid opening (26) of the filter housing (16) and is arranged on the side of the at least one end member (38) that is facing away from the filter element (34). The surface of the contact section (60) of the anti-drain membrane (44) has at least one relief-like adhesion disturbance area (64) for disturbing an adhesion of the anti-drain membrane (44) to the contact section (60).

A seal member is secured in the end cap. Methods of assembly and use are described.
Abstract:
A filter for filtering liquids has a housing with an inlet for liquid to be filtered and an outlet for filtered liquid. A coaxial filter element with a filter medium having an interior is arranged in the housing such that the filter element separates the inlet from the outlet. A central tube is fastened to the housing and the filter element is arranged coaxially on the central tube. An inner support body is arranged in the interior of the filter medium in a radial direction of the filter element between a radial inner circumferential side of the filter medium and the central tube. The inner support body has support webs distributed in an axial direction and in a circumferential direction of the inner support body. The support webs support the filter medium at least radially on the central tube.
Abstract:
A filter assembly is provided. The filter assembly includes a first component having a first groove. The filter assembly further includes a second component having a second groove. The first groove of the first component and the second groove of the second component define a channel therebetween. Furthermore, the filter assembly includes a cord member removably inserted in the channel to detachably couple the second component to the first component.
Abstract:
A filter element may include a tubular member including a partition at least partially defining first and second chambers. The tubular member may further include at least one outlet aperture and at least one inlet aperture configured to provide flow communication exiting from the first chamber and flow communication into the second chamber, respectively. The filter element may be configured such that fluid passing through the filter element from an inlet port to an outlet port passes through the first chamber, a filter medium, and the second chamber. The filter element may also include an end cap having a return aperture configured to provide flow communication between fluid exiting from the first chamber and fluid entering the inlet port, wherein a portion of fluid exiting from the first chamber is returned to the inlet port for recirculation through the first chamber.
Abstract:
A filter (10) with a filter element (36) are described. A housing (12) includes at least one fuel inlet, fuel outlet (18) and a water outlet (30) for water separated from the fuel. The filter element (36) within the housing separates the fuel inlet (26) from the fuel outlet (18). The filter element (36) includes a hollow body filter medium (38) flowed through radially. A water separation unit (56) with a hollow body hydrophobic fuel-permeable separating medium (66) separates water contained in the fuel and includes at least one support structure disposed in the flow path (78) in such a way that a precipitation gap (74) is realized between the filter medium (38) and the separating medium (66). The precipitation gap (74) is connected with the water outlet (30).

Filter cartridge arrangements, features, and methods of construction are described. Also described are filter assemblies having the filter cartridge installed therein as a removable service component. The filter cartridge generally comprises a media pack having an end with an end piece positioned thereon. The end piece includes an end cap section and a seal support, defining a seal recess. A seal member is secured within the seal recess. Methods of assembly and use are described.
Abstract:
Water filter cartridges, water filter assemblies, and refrigerator appliances are provided. A water filter cartridge includes a cap, the cap defining a generally central aperture, and a canister connected to the cap. The water filter cartridge further includes a filter media disposed within the canister and cap, and a flange connected to the filter media. The flange includes a neck and a collar, the neck extending from the collar generally along an axial direction, the collar extending from the neck generally along a radial direction. The flange further includes a ramp extending generally along the axial direction from the collar, at least a portion of the ramp extending through the aperture of the cap.
Abstract:
A fuel filter of an internal combustion engine including a filter housing having a lowermost housing base and a topmost removable housing lid. The filter housing has one raw fuel inlet and one pure fuel outlet. A replaceable annular filter insert mounts there in the filter housing, fuel flowing through it from outside towards inside. The filter subdivides an interior space of the filter housing into a raw zone and a pure zone. A supporting body is arranged in the interior of the annular filter insert, a first flow channel and a second flow channel extending therethrough. The first flow channel connects at one end to the pure zone and at the other end to the pure fuel outlet. The second flow channel connects at one end to the raw zone via a vent throttle or a vent valve and at the other end to a reservoir return in the filter housing. The raw fuel inlet is in the housing base and a flow channel leads from the raw fuel inlet to a portion of the raw zone of the interior space of the filter housing which is, during operation, topmost.
Abstract:
A filter cartridge endplate (12) is described herein that has an integrated flow structure. For example, the integrated flow structure has concentric flow portions disposed at a center of the endplate (12), where a separator (10) is built into the endplate (12) that separates fluid flow. The endplate (12) includes a plate with a major surface, a separator (10) that protrudes axially away from the major surface. The separator (10) includes a first flow portion (14) and a second flow portion (16), where the first flow portion (14) is disposed radially inward relative to the second flow portion (16). The first flow portion (14) includes a channel (22) and the second flow portion includes a channel (24). The respective channels (22,24) are configured to allow axial fluid flow relative to the plate, and configured to allow fluid flow that is localized toward the center of the plate (12).
