Abstract:
A filter has a filter medium (10) during operation clears fluid, particularly in the form of hydraulic fluid. The filter medium (10) is made of a material such that the potential difference to the fluid to be cleaned is low. The parts of the filter medium (10) have different potentials with respect to each other and/or the fluid to be cleaned such that they cancel each other at least partially, specific dissipation is aspired, or a return of electric charge to the associated filter medium (10) is provided, using a charge equalization situation.
Abstract:
A process, system, and component configuration are described that discourages customer acceptance/use of will-fit, reconditioned, and counterfeit product components, by determining whether or not a serviceable product component is genuine. If a component is determined to not be genuine, then appropriate action may be taken to warn operators and document such findings. For example, one or more markers are disposed or otherwise put on the subject serviceable product component and serves as a targeted feature, and/or a particular characteristic of the filter itself is identified as the targeted feature. A sensor is used to detect the targeted feature and obtain information unique to the serviceable product component. The targeted feature(s) identifies the particular serviceable component as genuine and forms the basis for determining whether a genuine component has been installed. In some circumstances, a fluid filter product is the component that is the subject detection.
Abstract:
A fuel filter comprises a bowl and a cover that form an enclosure, in which a filter element and a electrical device are concentrically arranged, a connector making it possible to connect the device to an external supply is carried by the bowl or by the cover. The electrical device is arranged in a dissipative shell and connected to the earth of the electrical device or of the connector. At least one part of the filter element is dissipative and at least one dissipative flexible contact is arranged between said dissipative part and the shell in order to provide a dissipative continuity between the filter element and the shell.
Abstract:
Fluid treatment elements and assemblies include a spring-biased electrical contact arrangement to dissipate electrical charge from the fluid treatment pack and/or the end caps to the housing.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a filter, comprising a filter medium (10), which during operation is used to clean fluid, particularly in the form of hydraulic fluid, wherein the filter medium (10) is made of a material the potential difference to the fluid to be cleaned is low. The invention further relates to filter solutions, wherein parts of the filter medium (10) have different potentials with respect to each other and/or the fluid to be cleaned such that they cancel each other at least partially, or wherein specific dissipation is aspired, or wherein a return of electric charge to the associated filter medium (10) is provided, using a charge equalization situation.
Abstract:
A filter element includes a filter medium (10) extending between two end caps (12, 14) that are respectively connected to an associable end region (16, 18) of the filter medium (10). The filter medium is supported at least on one side on a supporting tube (20). At least one of the end caps (14) and/or at least one end region (16, 18) of the filter medium (10) has a contacting device (22) and/or the respective end cap (14) itself or its parts are embodied in such a way as to derive the electrostatic charges, especially occurring during the operation of the filter element to ensure that the charge generated on the filter medium (Meshpack) by tribo-electrical effects can escape towards a mass point or a mass site via the contacting device (22) or the respective end cap (14).
Abstract:
A fuel delivery system includes a filter 19 for filtering fuel. The filter 19 has an internal wall 20 defining a pocket 14. A fuel pump 12 is provided in the pocket 14 for pumping filtered fuel to an engine. A pump spacer structure 10 surrounds at least a portion of the fuel pump and positions the fuel pump within the pocket The pump spacer structure 10 has a portion 18 that engages the internal wall 20 of the filter 19. Dampening structure 22 is provided between the pump spacer structure 10 to dampen vibration generated by the fuel pump.
Abstract:
A liquid filter (1) for filtering fuel or another liquid, including a filter element (9) disposed in a housing (2) and having at least one end cap (3, 4) formed by a section of the housing (2). The filter element (9) is embedded in the end cap (3, 4) or is at least joined to the end cap in an electrically conductive manner. The end cap (3, 4) is composed of an electrically conductive synthetic resin material, and an electric contact (14) for conducting away an electric charge is provided on the housing (2), preferably on the end cap (3, 4).
Abstract:
A snap-on tab assembly for electrically grounding a fluid separation device comprising a main body having a first surface for securing the main body to the separation device without the aid of a tool and a second surface for maintaining the main body in continuous electrical contact with the separation device and a tab extending from the main body to provide a grounding connection for discharging static electricity from the separation device.
Abstract:
A fuel filter assembly 10 is provided for a fuel delivery module of a vehicle. The fuel filter assembly includes a metal housing 12 having a closed end 13 and an open end 11. A filter cartridge assembly 14 is received in the housing and includes a filter 38 having first and second ends. A first end cap 34 is coupled to the first end and a second end cap 36 is coupled to the second end. An electrically conductive plastic cover 16 closes the open end 11 of the housing. The cover includes an integral inlet connection 26 and an integral outlet connection 28. The filter assembly 10 is constructed and arranged such that fuel may enter the inlet connection, be filtered by the filter, and exit via the outlet connection. Each of the housing, filter cartridge assembly and cover defines a bore there through so as to define a pump bore 18 through the fuel filter assembly. The pump bore is constructed and arranged to receive a fuel pump of a fuel delivery module.
