Abstract:
A filter for fluid has a filter housing and a filter element disposed in the filter housing. An element-associated electrical connecting element associated with an electrical/electronic functional component is provided. A housing-associated electrical connecting element is provided. When the filter element is mounted in the filter housing, the element-associated electrical element and the housing-associated electrical connecting element are connected electrically with each other and form an electrical connection. A positioning assist device assists in positioning the element-associated electrical connecting element and the housing-associated electrical connecting element relative to each other.
Abstract:
Liquid filtration apparatus, comprising a filter cartridge adapted to mount within a dispensing apparatus, the apparatus comprising a lever operated cam mechanism for locking and unlocking the cartridge into and out of place.
Abstract:
A filter unit includes a body portion having a proximal end and a distal end. An engagement protrusion extends from the proximal end. The engagement protrusion includes a first portion that has a first radius of curvature and a second portion opposing the first portion that has a second radius of curvature that is larger than the first radius of curvature. A protruding retention surface is disposed on and extends radially outward from the body portion. The protruding retention surface is adapted to secure the filter unit in a filter head assembly.
Abstract:
A filter device for fluids with a fluid inlet (14) and a fluid outlet (24). A filter element (9) is enclosed by an end cap (21) on its lower end facing a bottom part (5) of the filter housing (1). The end cap has a passage (29) forming a fluid connection to the filter element inner filter cavity (17) and can be fixed to an element retainer (23) of the filter housing (1). The element retainer (23) includes a retaining piece (35) open towards the filter element (9) with a fluid channel (37) leading to a housing connection (24). The end cap (21) has a connecting piece (27) in the retaining piece (35). The retaining piece (35) forms an opening (43) connected to the fluid channel (37) leading to the element retainer (23). A sealing (45, 47) seals the opening from the open end of the retaining piece.
Abstract:
A filter, in particular for fluids polluted by admixtures of water, such as diesel oil, includes a filter housing (1) receiving at least one filter element (9). During the filtering process, fluid can flow through the filter medium (11) from the outer unfiltered side (13) of the filter element into an inner filter cavity (17) forming the filtered side (19). A water passage (39) inside a pipe connector (35) of an end cap (23) forms a fluid path (51), which is separated from the other fluid path (55) that forms the connection between the inner filtered side (19) of the filter element (9) and a fluid outlet (37) of the housing (1) in the functional position of the filter element (9). The element receptacle (29) forms a through-passage (59) toward the water collecting chamber (31). Scaling assemblies (83, 87) located between the through-passage (59) and the pipe connection (35) of the end cap (23) delimit a connecting chamber (36) on the outside of the pipe connector (35). The connecting chamber connects the other fluid path (55) to the fluid outlet (37) of the housing (1).
Abstract:
A filter coupling device couples to a filter. The filter coupling device includes a plurality of joint members for connection to a plurality of connection openings of the filter. The filter coupling device also includes an arrangement switcher for switching an arrangement of the joint members between a first arrangement and a second arrangement.
Abstract:
A fuel filter for a fuel supply system of an internal combustion engine may include a filter housing, which may have an untreated-side inlet, a treated-side outlet, and an untreated-side return line. The fuel filter may also include a filter element arranged in the filter housing, and a closure element, which in an operationally ready state of the fuel filter may close off the return line. The fuel filter may include an untreated space and a treated space, and may separate in the filter housing the untreated space communicating with an inlet and the return line from the treated space communicating with the outlet. The fuel filter may further include a pressure sensor configured to measure a pressure build-up in the treated space, wherein the fuel filter may be configured to enable the pressure build-up to reach a predetermined threshold at which the engine may be started.
Abstract:
A fluid interconnect for a fluid handling device is disclosed. The fluid interconnect comprises a connector having a first axis. A sealing member is disposed on the connector. At least one camming member is also disposed on the connector. The at least one camming member is disposed inboard of the sealing member.
Abstract:
A top load liquid filter assembly includes a filter lockout mechanism to ensure that the filter base and cover are not connectable unless there is a proper filter cartridge installed therein. The filter system can also include an automatic drain mechanism and a cartridge retention mechanism. One example embodiment further includes an air bleed vent. A filter cartridge usable in the topload liquid filter assembly includes first and second protrusions and cover-gripper members. Methods of use, installing, servicing, and retaining can be practiced.
Abstract:
A backwash arrangement for cleaning a cylindrical filter screen includes a cylindrical filter screen within which extends an axial central conduit. A number of radial branch conduits extend outwards from the central conduit towards the cylindrical filter screen, each provided with a spring-loaded nozzle arrangement. The spring-loaded nozzle arrangement is biased into contact with the cylindrical filter screen, and includes a nozzle opening for passing across the cylindrical filter screen, and a pair of wheels deployed on opposing sides of the nozzle opening for rolling engagement with the cylindrical filter screen.
