    Abstract: A filter element removably located in a housing having a central valve structure. The element has an end cap with a valve actuating portion. The valve actuating portion includes a cylindrical portion and an annular base projecting radially inward from the cylindrical portion. The valve actuating portion includes a plurality of thin, flat keys spaced around the annular base and projecting radially inward from the cylindrical portion and axially outward from the base. The keys engage the valve structure in the housing when the element is installed, and open up a flow passage through the housing.

    Abstract: A drain assembly for a fluid filter includes a female valve portion unitary with an end wall of a collection bowl, and having a socket with a cylindrical sidewall and an inner end wall. The end wall includes a plug, and a vent opening radially outward from the plug. A drain opening is provided in the end wall radially outward from the socket. An annular sealing surface is provided radially outward from the drain opening. A threaded sleeve is provided radially outward from the annular sealing surface. A male valve portion is received in the female valve portion, and includes a valve body and valve seal. The valve seal is received in the socket and includes a cylindrical sidewall defining a vent passage, and an inner end with a vent opening to the vent passage. An annular sealing surface is provided radially outward from the sidewall of the valve seal. The sealing surface on the valve body is sealable against the sealing surface on the bowl end wall, and has an outer diameter sufficient to cover the drain opening in the bowl end wall. The valve body has a drain opening radially outward from the valve seal. The valve body includes a threaded sleeve radially outward from the annular drain opening in the valve body. The threaded sleeve of the valve body cooperates with the threaded sleeve of the female valve portion to enable the male valve portion to be screwed into and outwardly from the female valve portion.

    Abstract: A filter assembly includes housing enclosing a replaceable filter element. A support core is provided in the housing, and includes an extension and locking assembly. The element includes a ring of filtration media with a pair of end caps. The first end cap includes a central opening to receive the support core. The extension and locking assembly prevents the cover of the housing from being attached to the housing body without a proper filter element installed. The extension and locking assembly includes a bypass member and a locking member, which are in locking engagement when an element is absent in the housing. The second end cap includes internal protrusions which engage the locking member when the filter element is installed to disengage the bypass member from the support core, and allow the element to be inserted and the cover to be installed.

    Abstract: A valve comprises a valve body having a fluid inlet and fluid outlet, a valve seat located in the valve body between the fluid inlet and a fluid outlet, a valve member movable towards and away from the valve seat for controlling the flow of fluid from the fluid inlet to the fluid outlet, and a PTC heater in thermal contact with the valve seat for heating the valve seat. The heater is integrated in the valve in a manner where the valve seat is used as an electrical conductor to facilitate operation and assembly of the valve, and a unique valve construction is provided for enabling self-draining to avoid accumulation of water or other liquid in the valve that might negatively impact performance of the valve.
