Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a filter element (10) retained between a retention cover (12) and a support (18). Filter element (10) is provided with an inner liner (24) longer than an outer liner (26). Inner liner (24) extends between retention cover (12) and support (18) to absorb substantially all the axial load created by the retention mechanism.
Abstract:
A process for sealing molded end caps to filter tubes comprises providing a holder for an end cap and a means for automatically dispensing a predetermined quantity of a hot, molten adhesive into the end cap. After the adhesive is added to the end cap, a filter cartridge is inserted into the end cap under slight pressure to embed the ends of the filter in the adhesive. Subsequent cooling of the adhesive results in an effective seal.
Abstract:
A multi-layer filter material assembly. The assembly includes a filter medium which consists of a single sheet formed of fibers of a glass having a low coefficient of thermal expansion. The filter medium is supported on each side by at least one sheet of bonded synthetic fibers and a sheet of metallic wire mesh. The two sheets of metallic wire mesh form the two outermost layers and the entire assembly is formed into a pleated configuration.
Abstract:
An oil filter is formed from a pair of concentric wire frame cylinders having a cylinder of filter paper positioned between them. The filter paper is preferably made from fiber of 100 percent mercerized wood pulp, saturated by a melamineformaldehyde resin, which is 30 percent by weight. The preferred paper is 32.0 mils thick with an A.C. oil flow test of 150 secs/1,000cc and a Frazier Air Flow of 2.4 cubic feet per square foot of filter material, at a differential pressure of one-half inch of water. The maximum pore size is such that the bubble point is reached at a pressure of 40 inches of water.

Abstract:
In a deep-fat cooking appliance, a cooking oil circulation system includes a filter assembly which has a disposable porous filter. A motor pump continuously draws oil from a midpoint in a deep cooking well and through the filter. The oil returns to the deep well via a downspout poised above a splash ledge in the deep well so that there is a minimum of agitation in the oil. A clogged filter alarm indicates when the porous material should be replaced.
