Abstract: A filter element (102) comprising a filter media (106) and a membrane (114). The filter media (106) filters impurities (e.g., water and/or contaminants) from a liquid (e.g., a liquid fuel initially containing impurities) as the liquid passes from the inlet side (110) to the outlet side (112) of the filter element (102). The membrane (114) is permeable to air and impermeable to the liquid and the impurities. The membrane (114) is positioned to provide a bypass from the inlet side (110) to the outlet side (112) of the filter element whereby air intermixed with the fluid will not accumulate on the inlet side (110) of the filter element (102).

Abstract: A fluid filter comprising a shell having an open end and an end plate closing the open end of the shell. The end plate has inlet openings and outlet openings therethrough. Disposed in the shell is a filter media. The filter media comprises an annular multi-layered member having at least two layers copleated together. The outer layer comprises a metal that sacrificially neutralizes the corrosive products in the fluid, and the inner layer comprises a cellulosic or synthetic material. The metal is preferably zinc. In use the fluid will enter the shell via the inlet openings, pass through the filter media and exit the shell from the outlet opening means. The zinc will neutralize the acidity of the oil caused 1) by the sulfur compounds that react with the moisture in the oil to form an acidic solution and 2) carbon particles resulting from incomplete combustion in the engine and thereby protect the engine and increase the life of the oil allowing for extended drain and oil change intervals.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel filter element having a septum with a staged pleating that repeats a pleating sequence having a major (longest) pleat, a minor (shortest) pleat and at least one intermediate pleat therebetween. The intermediate pleat(s) have pleat heights that are evenly distributed within the range of pleat heights bounded by the pleat height of the minor pleat and the pleat height of the major pleat. In two particular embodiments of the invention, the pleat height ratios of the major, intermediate and minor pleats are 3:2:1 and 4:3:2:1. In an filter element, the pleated septum may be held between an inner core and an outer guard. The tip of the major pleat in each pleating sequence may be in contact with the inner core of the filter element. The septum may also include drainage layers on upstream and downstream of the filter material layer.

Abstract: A filter with a cylindrical filter cartridge in which the filter cartridge has a recess 23, through which functional parts, such as a water level sensor 25 and a water discharge tube 24, can be inserted. This filter may be used, for example, as a fuel filter in which the separated water can be removed from the housing through the functional parts. The functional parts are arranged on a support member 26 and extended through the recess 23, 23a in the filter cartridge 19, and can be accommodated in a space saving manner on the housing cover 12. As a result, the fuel filter can be accommodated particularly in cramped installation spaces in the engine compartment of an internal combustion engine.
