    Abstract: An air management device for a filter assembly includes a top portion, a bottom portion, a plurality of frame members that connect the top portion to the bottom portion so as to define an inner cavity, and an air management valve. The air management valve includes a base portion, an intake valve, and an exhaust valve. The base portion is provided at the bottom portion. The intake valve extends into the inner cavity from the base portion towards the top portion. The intake valve includes an elongated opening that extends along a longitudinal length of the in-take valve. The exhaust valve extends into the inner cavity from the base portion towards the top portion. The intake valve is configured to intake air through the elongated opening and the amount of air introduced through the elongated opening varies based on a fluid level present within the air management device.

    Abstract: A filtration monitoring system is an electronic system control module installed on an internal combustion engine or within a vehicle powered by the internal combustion engine. The filtration monitoring system monitors the health and status of the filtration systems present on the engine. The filtration monitoring system tracks filter loading patterns and predicts remaining service life of the filters by running smart algorithms based on sensor feedback (e.g., pressure sensor feedback, fluid quality characteristic sensor feedback, etc.). In some arrangements, the described filtration monitoring systems provide feedback as to whether a genuine (i.e., authorized, OEM approved, etc.) or unauthorized filter cartridge is installed in a given filtration system. The filtration monitoring system may be retrofit into an existing internal combustion engine or vehicle that does not already have a filtration monitoring system.

    Abstract: Improvements to “no filter, no run” fluid filtration systems are described. In one example, a filter includes a movable pin cage that has a first pre-installation position adjacent the bottom end plate and is temporarily connected thereto by a snap connection system, and a second position adjacent the upper end plate where it performs a valve interaction function. In another example, a filter includes non-centered valve pins that are rotatable relative to an upper end plate of the filter.

    Abstract: A thermal recirculation valve (TRV) is described that provides for effective fuel module heating during cold operation to mitigate fuel waxing or gelling issues. The TRV allows for the control of heated return fuel flow into the module dependent upon the module's outlet fuel temperature without the return fuel directly contacting the wax element. The wax element is isolated from direct contact with the higher temperature return fuel through use of an elastomeric seal which prevents return fuel from directly contacting the wax element. In addition, the wax element is positioned in the fuel outlet of the module.
