Abstract:
An end cap for a filter element may include an element receiver configured to be coupled to a tubular member, and a base passage receiver in flow communication with the element receiver. The end cap may further include an end cap barrier extending outward from the base passage receiver, the end cap barrier including a first side configured to face a filter base. The end cap may also include end cap flow passages configured to provide flow communication between filter media and a filter base, and including a passage opening spaced a first distance from the first side. The end cap may further include a barrier edge and a peripheral seal, wherein an uppermost surface of the peripheral seal terminates a second distance from the first side of the end cap barrier, wherein the first distance is greater than the second distance.
Abstract:
An endcap including a first plate member including a radial inner portion, a radial outer portion, and defining a longitudinal axis. The endcap also includes a flange disposed between the radial inner and outer portions of the first plate member and projecting axially along the longitudinal axis in a first direction. The endcap also includes a first seal member disposed adjacent the flange. The first seal includes a first portion thereof engaged with an axial facing surface of the first plate member and a second portion thereof engaged with a radially facing surface of the flange. The endcap further includes a second plate member disposed radially outward of the radial outer portion and a second seal member disposed adjacent the second plate member including at least a portion thereof axially spaced from the axially facing surface of the first plate member in a second direction along the longitudinal axis opposite the first direction.
Abstract:
An electronic system providing unique identification of a genuine filter system assembly to the engine control unit (“ECU”). A resistor is made to be an integrated part of the filtration system hardware such that when connected through a wired convection, the ECU detects a particular voltage signal and identifies the system as a genuine filter. The resistor could be integrated in any part of the filter system such that it could be used to recognize the filter or the cartridge. The resistor connection could be made via male/female pins, conducting wires, plates, conductive plastic material or other mechanisms.

Also disclosed is a sealing device (20) for the installation in such a filter system (100) and an arrangement comprising a filter element (10) and a sealing device (20).
Abstract:
A liquid filter assembly is provided. The assembly includes a liquid filter cartridge and a housing. The liquid filter cartridge, includes, among other things, first and second, opposite, end caps each having a central aperture therethrough. A seal arrangement including a radially directed seal is mounted on a seal support of the first end cap that projects away from the second end cap. The cartridge includes a seal mount configured to define a seal plane non-orthogonal to a central axis of the cartridge. The housing includes a filter head and a housing sidewall. The filter head includes a filter head having a body, a top cover and a bottom aperture opposite the top cover. The housing extends through the bottom aperture. The cartridge as described is installed in the housing, with an end cap radially sealed against a tube in a bottom of the housing.
Abstract:
A filter element for filtering a liquid medium has end plates and a filter material arranged between the end plates and flowed through by the liquid medium in a flow direction radial to a longitudinal axis of the filter element. A clean chamber is arranged in the flow direction downstream of the filter material and connected with an outlet of the filter element. A bypass duct for the liquid medium is provided that is fluidically connected by a bypass valve with the clean chamber. The bypass duct has an inlet in the first end plate. A support device is integrally formed on the first end plate and extends along the longitudinal axis away from the first end plate into the filter element interior. A sieve in the bypass duct separates solid materials from the liquid medium passing through the bypass duct. The sieve is attached to the support device.
Abstract:
A filter device for fluids, especially for fuels such as diesel fuel, includes a filter housing (1) defining a longitudinal axis (19). The filter housing has a fluid inlet (14) and a fluid outlet (24) and can accommodate at least one filter element (9). The fluid can, during filtering, flow through a filter medium (11) surrounding an inner filter cavity. The filter element (9) is enclosed by an end cap (21) on its lower end facing the bottom part (5) of the filter housing (1). The end cap has a passage (29) forming a fluid connection to the inner filter cavity (17) and can be fixed to an element retainer (23) of the filter housing (1). The element retainer (23) includes retaining piece (35) on the bottom part (5) of the filter housing (1). The retaining piece is open towards the filter element (9) with a fluid channel (37) leading to a housing connection (24) running into it. The end cap (21) of the filter element (9) has a connecting piece (27) accommodated in the retaining piece (35) and secured in a supporting zone. The retaining piece (35) forms an opening (43) forming a fluid connection to the fluid channel (37) leading to the element retainer (23) and including a sealing arrangement (45, 47) sealing the opening from the open end of the retaining piece.
Abstract:
In a case structure for a fluid pressure device, a filter that constitutes part of a fluid pressure unit is equipped with a first body, a case unit connected to a lower portion of the first body, and a filter unit accommodated in the interior of the case unit. The case unit is made up from an outer case, which is formed as a bottomed cylinder from a light-permeable transparent material, and an inner case inserted into the interior of the outer case. Additionally, by insertion of the case unit into an installation hole that opens on a lower portion of the first body and rotating the case unit, projections and retaining walls provided on an outer circumferential surface of the case unit engage with support members provided in the installation hole, thus placing the case unit in a connected state.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a filter element (10) having a first fluid path (12) on a raw side (60) for filtering a first fluid (64) and a second fluid path (14) having a fluid line (16) on a clean side (62) for carrying a second fluid (66). The filter element (10) is provided at least on one side with a first end plate (20). Here, the fluid line (16) is arranged in the central inner region (36) of the filter element (10) and connected with the end plate (20) for joint disassembly, especially securely connected to the filter element. The invention further relates to a filter system (100) including such a filter element (10).
