Abstract:
A separating device for separating an undesired fluid from a multi-component liquid has a region flowed through by the multi-component liquid and at least one membrane disposed in the region to separate a first fluid region from a second fluid region. The membrane has a first permeability to the undesired fluid and a second permeability to the multi-component liquid. The first permeability is different from the second permeability. The membrane is equally permeable to all components of the multi-component liquid. The membrane is permeable to the multi-component liquid and impermeable to the undesired fluid, or the membrane is impermeable to the multi-component liquid and is permeable to the undesired fluid, wherein the multi-component liquid is a liquid multi-component operating medium. A filter with such a separating device and a filter element, in particular for diesel fuel, as well as a liquid system with such a separating device are described.
Abstract:
A combined oil filter and restrictor assembly is disclosed having an oil flow restrictor interposed between first and second filters so that, irrespective of the direction of oil flow through the restrictor, debris cannot enter a small diameter bore 32 in a body of the restrictor thereby reducing the likelihood of restrictor blockage. The combined oil filter and restrictor assembly includes a metal threaded member that enables the combined oil filter and restrictor assembly to be easily and quickly assembled to or removed from a component such as a cylinder head of a variable displacement engine. The combined oil filter and restrictor assembly can be used to provide a restricted flow of oil from oil supply passages to signal oil passages used for controlling the operation of deactivatable hydraulic lash adjusters so as to purge the signal oil passages when the deactivatable hydraulic lash adjusters are not deactivated.
Abstract:
A lubrication system for a fan drive gear system of a turbofan engine includes an auxiliary pump for communicating lubricant to bearings of a gear system. A deaerator is disposed between a lubricant source and the auxiliary pump for separating gases is contained within the lubricant. The deaerator includes a vane section for inducing a radial flow in the lubricant for separating gas from the lubricant. A gas turbine engine and method are also disclosed.
Abstract:
A fluid delivery system for supplying fluid to a machine assembly includes: a pump module; a drive for the pump module; and a housing which includes a reservoir for the fluid. The reservoir includes an aspiration point, and the pump module includes a first inlet, a second inlet, a first outlet and a second outlet. The first inlet is fluidically connected to the reservoir via a first suction conduit, and the first outlet is fluidically connected to the machine assembly via a first pressure conduit. The second inlet is fluidically connected to the housing via a second suction conduit, and the second outlet is fluidically connected to the reservoir via a second pressure conduit.
Abstract:
An oil recirculation system for an engine is disclosed. The oil recirculation system includes a first conduit coupled to the engine to receive an oil and a second conduit coupled to the engine to supply the oil to the engine. The oil recirculation system further includes a filtering device disposed between the first and second conduits. The filtering device includes a first housing member defining a first chamber therein. The first chamber is in fluid communication with the first conduit. The filtering device further includes a second housing member removably coupled to the first housing member and defines a second chamber therein. The second chamber is in fluid communication with the second conduit. The first and second chambers together define a passage to receive the oil therethrough. The filtering device further includes a filter member disposed in the passage to filter the oil flowing therethrough.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a device and method for regenerating oil (17) containing a contamination in the form of a liquid. The oil (17) is brought in contact with a point source (3) consisting of at least one point source (3), where the point source (3) is brought to a predetermined temperature that at an interface between the point source (3) and the oil (17) corresponds to a maximum allowed oil temperature.
Abstract:
A fluid delivery system for supplying fluid to at least one machine assembly, in particular an engine and/or transmission of a motor vehicle, including: a first pump and a second pump; a drive for driving the first pump and/or the second pump; a reservoir for storing the fluid; and a filter module for filtering the fluid, wherein the first pump delivers fluid from the reservoir to the machine assembly in a supply flow and the second pump is arranged downstream of the machine assembly and delivers at least some of the fluid into the reservoir in a sub-flow downstream of the machine assembly and the filter module is embodied in the sub-flow.
Abstract:
An internal combustion engine which can be miniaturized, even where it includes an oil filter between a hydraulic clutch and an oil pump, without significantly increasing the length of an oil passage for the hydraulic clutch, the oil pump and a hydraulic pressure adjustment apparatus. A second oil filter is provided on an oil pan at a lower portion of the internal combustion engine so as to be disposed at a position at which the second oil filter does not overlap with any of a controlling oil pump and a hydraulic pressure adjustment apparatus as viewed in side elevation and which is lower than those of the oil pump and the hydraulic pressure adjustment apparatus.
Abstract:
An exhaust purification system is provided with an NOx storage reduction catalyst arranged in an exhaust passage and an SOx trap material arranged upstream of the NOx storage reduction catalyst and removes SOx contained in exhaust gas. A main flow path has a secondary flow path connected to it. In the secondary flow path, a removal device is arranged for removing the sulfur constituent contained in fuel. The secondary flow path includes an opening and closing device. When the SOx removal rate of the SOx trap material becomes a predetermined removal rate judgment value or less or the concentration of the SOx which flows into the SOx trap material becomes a predetermined concentration judgment value or more, at least part of the fuel flowing through a main flow path is made to flow into the secondary flow path and run through the removal device.
