Abstract: In an oil reservoir tank having a tank body and a tank cover, an air/oil separator includes a filter media pack, arranged radially symmetrically about an axis, a bottom end cap secured to one end of the filter media pack, and a top end cap and flange member. The top end cap and flange member is made of a moldable material and has a top end cap portion and a flange portion. The other end of the filter media pack is embedded in top end cap portion. The flange portion extends radially outwardly from the axis for mounting the separator between the tank body and the tank cover. The top end cap and flange member is formed of a sealing material. The top end cap and flange member is a single unitary member forming both flange and the end cap, which eliminates separate flange and trough members which must be welded or brazed together. In addition the flange portion of the top end cap and flange member eliminates the need for additional separate sealing members, such as O-rings.

Abstract translation: 在具有罐体和罐盖的储油箱中，空气/油分离器包括围绕轴线径向对称设置的过滤介质包，固定到过滤介质包的一端的底端盖，以及顶端 盖和法兰构件。 顶端盖和凸缘构件由可模制材料制成并且具有顶端盖部分和凸缘部分。 过滤介质包的另一端嵌入顶端盖部分。 凸缘部分从轴线径向向外延伸，用于将分离器安装在罐体和罐盖之间。 顶端盖和凸缘构件由密封材料形成。 顶端盖和凸缘构件是形成凸缘和端盖的单个整体构件，其消除了必须焊接或钎焊在一起的单独的凸缘和槽构件。 此外，顶端盖和凸缘构件的凸缘部分不需要额外的单独的密封构件，例如O形环。
