    摘要: A filter system for a machine system includes a filter holder assembly having a filter holder, an inner filter connector, and an outer filter connector. The filter holder includes peripheral surfaces each configured with at least one thread section and at least one slot section. The filter system also includes an inner filter attached to the inner filter connector and an outer filter attached to the outer filter connector. Each of the inner filter connector and the outer filter connector includes a peripheral surface configured with at least one thread section and at least one slot section arranged in a key-fit pattern relative to one of the peripheral surfaces of the filter holder. In an example application the concepts may be applied in an intake air system for an engine in an off-highway machine.

    摘要: A separation device for separating liquid from gas has a separation element with housing, housing cover with housing cover thread, and filter element arranged therein. A first gas passage arranged centrally relative to a mounting axis of the separation element at a connector device has the housing cover thread assigned thereto. A second gas passage is arranged radially outside the first gas passage. A connection element connecting the separation element to the connector device has a conduit and a connection element thread to which the housing cover thread is screwed. A circumferential element adjoining the connection element thread extends axially into the separation element. Connection element thread and circumferential element surround the conduit. A fluid channel extends axially between conduit and circumferential element. A contour element of the separation element and a counter contour element of the connection element interact confusion-proof when screwing the separation element onto the connection element.

    摘要: An oil filter evacuator may be configured to attach to an oil filter housing of a vehicle and/or an oil filter adapter coupled with a vehicle, form a seal with the oil filter housing and/or oil filter adapter, and when an oil filter (such as a spin-on oil filter) is attached to the oil filter housing and/or the oil filter adapter, the oil filter evacuator may be sandwiched between the oil filter housing and/or the oil filter adapter and the oil filter, forming a seal with both the oil filter housing and/or the oil filter adapter and the oil filter. The oil filter evacuator may have a side-hole accessible on an exterior of the oil filter evacuator and extending into a passage of the oil filter evacuator such that pressurized air may be applied to the side-hole and passed into the oil filter system, thereby pressurizing the oil filter system.

    摘要: A filter system (100) having a housing (110), a fluid inlet (102) formed in a housing wall (112), a fluid outlet (108) formed in a housing wall (120), a primary filter element (50) and a secondary filter element (10). The secondary filter element (10) is arranged on a stand pipe (150) which is rigidly connected to one of the housing walls (120). The secondary filter element (10) comprises a filter medium (16) forming a body (36) having at least one longitudinal seam (18) along a longitudinal axis (L). The filter body (36) has a first edge (13) at one region (12) which is curved in an initial unwound state of the filter medium (16) and straight in a final wound state of the filter medium (16) forming the filter body (36) and a second edge (15) at the opposite region (14) of the filter body (36) with respect to the longitudinal axis (L) which is straight in an initial unwound state of the filter medium (16) and curved in a final wound state of the filter medium (16) forming the filter body (36). A method of manufacturing is also disclosed.
