Abstract:
A filter element may include a canister, a first cap coupled to a first end of the canister, and a second cap coupled to a second end of the canister. The filter element may further include an outer tubular member extending between the first cap and the second cap, and an inner tubular member. The outer and inner tubular members may each include a plurality of apertures. The filter element may further include filter media configured to promote separation of a first fluid from a second fluid as fluid passes through the filter media. The filter element may be configured such that fluid entering the filter element flows between an interior surface of the canister and an exterior surface of the filter media and through the filter media, such that a portion of the fluid flows into the outer tubular member but not into the inner tubular member.
