    摘要: A fuel filter assembly for the filtering of a flow of fuel includes an outer shell (21) defining a hollow interior (38) and, at a first end, a fuel inlet passageway (39), a fuel outlet passageway (40), and a water collection region (35). The outer shell has a second end which is open and constructed and arranged to be closed by a removable lid (22). Installed within the hollow interior of the outer shell is a fuel filter cartridge (23) which includes a filter element constructed and arranged for water separation. The filter element defines an interior space into which a fuel transfer pump (42) in installed and which is operable to push fuel through the filter element. Included as part of the fuel filter assembly is a filter detector control circuit including a normally-open filter detector switch (77) which is electrically and operably coupled to the fuel transfer pump. A plunger (78) on the filter detector switch must be depressed in order to close the circuit and enable operation of the fuel transfer pump. The plunger is depressed only upon the installation of the fuel filter cartridge, thereby preventing the delivery of fuel to a downstream location unless a fuel filter cartridge is properly installed. Also included as part of the fuel filter assembly is a fuel heater (30), a temperature sensor (33), a drain valve (32) and a diagnostic port (34).

    摘要: A centrifuge assembly (20) for processing a flow of oil so as to separate out particulate matter includes a centrifuge (20b), a housing base (10), and a flow-control piston (32) which is assembled into the housing base (10). The centrifuge (206) includes a housing which defines a hollow interior with a centrifugal separator positioned within the hollow interior for separation of particulate matter from the flow of oil. The housing base (10) defines an incoming oil conduit (23), a drain conduit (24), an air-in passageway (25), and air-out passageway (26). The flow-control piston (32) is movable between a normally-closed piston and an open position in respect to incoming oil pressure. When in the closed position, neither oil nor air are able to flow into the centrifuge assembly (20). In the open position, both oil and air are able to flow into the centrifuge assembly (20). The air which is introduced is under pressure and provides air-assisted drainage of the oil from the centrifuge (20b) housing back to sump.

    摘要: A centrifuge (40) includes a shaft (46) and a center tube (50). The shaft (46) has a single flow passage (60) from which fluid is supplied and has one or more fluid ports (62) defined therein. The center tube (50) has two sets of openings (61) defined therein. A portion of the fluid in the centrifuge (40) is directed to bypass the cleaning operation and is directly used to drive the centrifuge (40). The remaining fluid flows through the centrifuge (40) and particulate matter is removed from the liquid. The fluid is then discharged through nozzles (78) in order to rotate the centrifuge (40).

    摘要: A filter element (202, 250) includes pleated filter media (26) having a plurality of pleats (28) in a closed annular loop having an outer perimeter (30) defined by a plurality of outer pleat tips (32), an inner perimeter (34) defined by a plurality of inner pleat tips (36), the loop having a hollow interior (38) extending along an axis (40), wherein fluid to be filtered flows laterally through the filter media and flows axially in the hollow interior (38). The filter element has an axial flow passage (56a) along the axis (40) and circumscribing the hollow interior (38) and has a flow perimeter (218) greater than the inner perimeter (34) of the filter element defined by the inner pleat tips (36), and in the preferred embodiment substantially the same as the outer perimeter (30) defined by the outer pleat tips (32), to provide axial flow (58) through the hollow interior (38) and additional axial flow (59 and 59a) through the axial ends (68) of the pleats.

    摘要: A diesel engine crankcase ventilation filter is provided by a flat low profile filter housing extending in a horizontal plane and having an upper planar horizontal surface, a lower planar horizontal surface, and side surfaces extending between the upper and lower surfaces. A planar horizontal flat panel filter element extends parallel to the upper and lower surfaces. The housing has an upper plenum between the flat panel filter element and the upper surface, and a lower plenum between the flat panel filter element and the lower surface, an inlet receiving oil and air from the diesel engine and supplying same along an inlet path to the upper plenum to flow downwardly through the flat panel filter element to the lower plenum, a first outlet outputting air along a first outlet path from the lower plenum, and a second outlet outputting oil along a second outlet path from the lower plenum.
