Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a portable, single-chambered, hand-pressurized water filtration device employing a two-part filtration unit consisting of a ceramic filter and an activated charcoal filter through which pressurized water is forced, filtered and removed via a spigot in fluid communication with the filtration unit.
Abstract:
A filter assembly includes a filter head and filter cartridge. The filter cartridge includes a housing and element. The housing includes a can with an open mouth. An interface ring is secured to the can adjacent to the open mouth. The outer ring surface is against the inner wall of the can. The ring wall is angled between the first and second ends greater than one degree and less than 6 degrees. Methods of filtering and making the housing are provided.
Abstract:
Liquid filter arrangements are described and shown. The arrangements generally include a filter member comprising a shell enclosing a filter cartridge. Unique features for interface between the enclosed filter cartridge and the shell are provided. Also provided are unique features for interaction between the cartridge and a filter head, in use.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a filtering assembly for filtering at least one fluid flowing in particular in a hydraulic motor or device, comprising:—a filter body which comprises a vessel and a cover which are configured to engage with one another in order to enable the filter body to close,—a tube, in particular a central tube, inside the filter body extending along a longitudinal axis (X),—a removable filter cartridge which is housed in the filter body and includes an upper end plate, a lower end plate and a filter medium which extends between the upper end plate and the lower end plate, the filter cartridge having a tubular opening for surrounding the tube, characterized in that the cover has a circular rib which is formed such as to project into an inner space of the filter body, and in that the upper end plate has a circular edge which is designed to sealingly engage radially and inwardly with said circular rib of the cover.
Abstract:
A membrane casing that watertightly houses a membrane element for filtering raw water includes a tubular casing main body, a lid body, and a pressing mechanism. The casing main body houses a membrane element. The lid body fits an opening end of the casing main body and is movable in the axial direction of the casing main body while maintaining the attitude and while securing watertightness with the casing main body. The pressing mechanism and presses the lid body to press and hold the membrane element housed in the casing main body. The membrane casing has a simple configuration capable of watertightly securing using a predetermined pressing force by accommodating variations in size of the membrane element, even if the membrane casing cannot be formed into a cylindrical shape.
Abstract:
Various embodiments disclosed herein relate to a filter element having a seal that functions as an anti-drain seal. The seal prevents fluid being filtered (e.g., fuel) from flowing back to a fluid storage tank (e.g., a fuel tank) through a drain in the filter housing when the filter element is in an installed position within the filter housing. The seal and the filter housing allow fluid to flow back to the fluid storage tank when the filter element is being removed from the filter housing (e.g., during a filter change service). The seal is removably coupled to the filter element such that the seal can be reused with replacement filter elements. The seal also functions as an engine integrity protection mechanism. Thus, the seal performs functions as a sealing device, draining device, and engine integrity protection feature.
Abstract:
A fluid treatment unit and a sealing structure which is preferably for the fluid treatment unit are provided. The sealing structure includes: a cylinder with an opening formed at one end thereof, the cylinder comprising an inner wall surface and an outer wall surface, and an outer thread being provided on the outer wall surface; a sealing cover which is capable of hermetically cooperating with the inner wall surface of the cylinder to seal the opening; a support cover which is capable of being connected with the cylinder by thread engagement; when the support cover and the cylinder are relatively rotated in order to achieve a threaded connection of the support cover and the cylinder, the support cover is capable of supporting the sealing cover and impelling it to move in parallel so as to allow the sealing cover to reach a position at which it seals the opening.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a filter housing for exchangeable filters, having a housing base for accommodating the filter and having a housing dome which engages over the filter, wherein the housing base and the housing dome are connected to one another by means of an aseptic clamping connection which has a groove-type clamping fitting on the housing base and has a flange-type clamping fitting on the housing dome, these being fixed against one another in their connected position by means of a clamp, wherein the groove-type clamping fitting has a seal groove with a seal by means of which the groove-type clamping fitting can be sealed off with respect to the flange-type clamping fitting, wherein the housing base has a port for the supply of liquid to be filtered and has a port for the discharge of filtered liquid, and wherein the housing base has, transversely with respect to the housing longitudinal axis, a base surface which is adjacent to the face surface of the inserted filter.

Abstract:
A filter, filter element and filter assembly are provided. The filter includes a water separating device for separating water from a dirty fluid flow. The water separator includes a fluid flow path that varies in cross-sectional area to vary pressure of the fluid therethrough. A top portion of the water separator is formed as a structurally independent piece from a bottom portion of the water separator. The top portion may be permanently or releasably secured to filter media of the filter via an end cap coupled to an end of the filter media. The bottom portion may be integrally or releasably secured to a housing of the filter. The bottom portion may also be integrally formed with a center tube upon which a filter element mounts.
