摘要： A flat panel filter element is provided for a diesel engine crankcase ventilation filter having a flat low profile filter housing extending in a horizontal plane. The flat panel filter element has media, including coalescing media, spanning a horizontal supporting and sealing perimeter border frame and passing flow downwardly therethrough.

摘要： A diesel engine crankcase ventilation filter is provided by a flat low profile filter housing extending in a horizontal plane and having an upper planar horizontal surface, a lower planar horizontal surface, and side surfaces extending between the upper and lower surfaces. A planar horizontal flat panel filter element extends parallel to the upper and lower surfaces. The housing has an upper plenum between the flat panel filter element and the upper surface, and a lower plenum between the flat panel filter element and the lower surface, an inlet receiving oil and air from the diesel engine and supplying same along an inlet path to the upper plenum to flow downwardly through the flat panel filter element to the lower plenum, a first outlet outputting air along a first outlet path from the lower plenum, and a second outlet outputting oil along a second outlet path from the lower plenum.

摘要： An engine block in combination with an oil drain tube for allowing oil from a turbocharger to drain back into the engine block includes a substantially cylindrical bore in the engine block into which a portion of the oil drain tube is press fit. The oil drain tube includes an insert portion which establishes a sliding fit with the drain-back bore, an interference fit portion, and an O-ring channel which is positioned between the insert portion and the interference fit portion. An O-ring seal is positioned in the channel and is sized so as to be placed in compressive contact against the inside diameter surface of the engine block bore. Although there is an interference fit between the interference fit portion and the bore, the compressive contact by the O-ring seal establishes a leak-free interface between the bore and the oil drain tube. This allows the oil drain tube to be turned or twisted within the bore without breaking or otherwise losing the leak-free interface.

摘要翻译： 与用于允许来自涡轮增压器的油排回发动机缸体的排油管相结合的发动机缸体包括发动机缸体中的基本上圆柱形的孔，排油管的一部分压配合到该基座中。 排油管包括与排水后孔相配合的插入部分，过盈配合部分和位于插入部分和过盈配合部分之间的O形环通道。 O形环密封件定位在通道中，并且其尺寸被设计成与发动机缸体孔的内径表面压缩接触。 虽然过盈配合部分和孔之间存在过盈配合，但O形环密封件的压缩接触在孔和排油管之间建立了无泄漏的界面。 这允许排油管在孔内转动或扭转，而不破坏或以其他方式失去无泄漏界面。

摘要： The outflow of coolers or water transport plates of a fuel cell stack (15) is fed to the inlet of a gas/liquid separator (12), the liquid output of which is connected through a primary pump (11a) to a liquid accumulator (21). A secondary pump (44) connected to the liquid output (20) of the liquid accumulator is fed to the principal inlet (31) of an eductor (32), the secondary inlet being connected to the gas output of the gas/liquid separator. The outlet (37) of the eductor is fed through a conduit (38) to a point below liquid level in the liquid accumulator. Thus, failure of the secondary pump (44) will not cause cavitation of the primary pump (11a) through the eductor so that coolant will continue to flow through the fuel cell stack. A demineralizer (26) is fed through a pressure reducing orifice (25) from the outlet of the secondary pump.

摘要翻译： 燃料电池堆（15）的冷却器或水输送板的流出物被供给到气/液分离器（12）的入口，气体/液体分离器的液体输出通过初级泵（11a）连接到液体积存器 （21）。 连接到液体储存器的液体输出（20）的辅助泵（44）被供给到喷射器（32）的主入口（31），次级入口连接到气/液分离器的气体输出。 喷射器的出口（37）通过导管（38）进入液体蓄液器中低于液位的点。 因此，次级泵（44）的故障不会通过喷射器引起主泵（11a）的空化，使得冷却剂将继续流过燃料电池堆。 软化器（26）从次级泵的出口通过减压孔（25）供给。
