Fluid Filter With An Attachment Structure On An Endplate Of The Filtering Element

View page
US Patent:
8501001, Aug 6, 2013
Filed:
Nov 5, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/265370
Inventors:
Carey A. Curt - Cookeville TN, US
Ismail C. Bagci - Cookeville TN, US
Gregory D. Shope - Cookeville TN, US
Terry W. Shults - Cookeville TN, US
Pierrick Bonzi - Tregunc, FR
Assignee:
Cummins Filtration IP, Inc. - Minneapolis MN
International Classification:
B01D 24/00
B01D 17/12
US Classification:
210232, 210805, 210136, 2101673, 210194, 21032172, 2104161, 210457, 21049701, 29428
Abstract:
A fluid filter includes a filter element having a filtering media disposed between two endplates. One endplate includes an open flow passage that allows a working fluid to flow into or out of the media during operation. The other endplate includes a connection structure. A cover houses the filter element, and has an opening that is an inlet or outlet in fluid communication with the opening of the one endplate. The cover includes another fill opening proximate the other endplate. A cap is connected to the connection structure of the other endplate to close the opening of the cover. The cover is retained between the cap and other endplate. Generally, the attachment configuration between the cap and the other endplate of the filter element helps ensure that the filter element with the correct micron rating is installed in a filtration system.

Abstract:
A water separator and particulate filter with a first or outer stage configured to coalesce water from fluid such as fuel, and a second or inner stage configured to separate coalesced water from the fluid and also remove fine solid contaminants from the fluid. The coalescing stage includes a pleated cylinder of polymeric media. The pleated cylinder has pleat valleys and downstream pleat tips, and release sites defined at the downstream pleat tips. The separator stage includes a non-pleated cylinder of polymeric media surrounding and in contact with outer pleat tips of a multi-layer pleated cylinder.

Dual Stage Filtration With Barrier For Fuel Water Separation

US Patent:
8551335, Oct 8, 2013
Filed:
Jul 8, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/832729

US Classification:
210338, 210300, 210301, 210305, 210315, 210337, 210458
Abstract:
A dual stage filter includes an outer filter with a first media and an inner filter with a second media. A barrier is between the first media and the second media. The barrier directs fluid flow between the first and second media. The barrier creates a flow path between the first and second media, such that a working fluid, which is desired to pass through the first and second media, is directed by the barrier and flows through the second media, and such that another fluid, which is not desired to pass through the second media, is directed by the barrier and separates from the working fluid. Using the barrier, the dual stage filter can employ either or both upward flow and downward flow to achieve efficient fluid separation, for example fuel water separation in an engine fuel filter.

Abstract:
Disclosed are modular filter-in-filter elements, namely an outer filter element and an inner filter element which may be assembled to form a filter cartridge for use in separation methods and systems. The outer filter element typically functions as a coalescing element and the inner element typically functions as a particulate filter element. The disclosed filter cartridges may be structured for separating water from a hydrocarbon-based liquid fuel as the fuel moves through the cartridge from outside to inside.

Filtered Flow-Through Fitting

View page
US Patent:
20060260995, Nov 23, 2006
Filed:
May 23, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/135089
Inventors:
Doug McCormick - Cookeville TN, US
Terry Shults - Cookeville TN, US
International Classification:
B01D 35/02
B01D 35/027
US Classification:
210232000
Abstract:
A filtered flow-through fitting with an associated system and method are disclosed. The filtered flow-through fitting may include a fitting having a first opening and a second opening connected in fluid communication, a securing mechanism for securing the fitting within a cavity, and a filter extending outwardly from the first opening. The filtered flow-through fitting and associated system and method provide the benefits of allowing an engine component to be quickly and easily replaced, while providing additional protection to the engine's fluid systems by providing an additional layer of particulate matter filtration.

Assignee:
CUMMINS FILTRATION IP INC. - Minneapolis MN
International Classification:
B01D 29/15
US Classification:
210455, 210487
Abstract:
A filter within a filter cartridge design is described that includes a sealing structure on an endplate of an outer filter element. Generally, the sealing structure includes an annular flange on the endplate that can directly seal against an interior surface of a housing when the filter cartridge is assembled for use. During filtration, the annular flange prevents a working fluid from bypassing the outer filter element. The sealing flange can seal with the housing in a press fit engagement.

Fluid Filter With Nutplate Having An End Face Seal And Outer Attachment Design

US Patent:
20100176047, Jul 15, 2010
Filed:
Jan 15, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/354612
Inventors:
Ismail C. Bagci - Cookeville TN, US
Terry W. Shults - Cookeville TN, US
Assignee:
Cummins Filtration IP Inc. - Minneapolis MN
International Classification:
B01D 35/30
US Classification:
210232
Abstract:
A fluid filter has a filter element disposed inside a housing having a generally open end. The filter element has media allowing a working fluid to be filtered therethrough. A nutplate connected to the housing at the generally open end has an end face with an inlet and outlet. The inlet allows the working fluid to enter the generally open end of the housing and access the media. The outlet allows filtered fluid to exit the generally open end of the housing. The end face includes inner and outer seals. The inner seal surrounds one of the inlet or the outlet and is between them. The outer seal surrounds the other of the inlet and outlet. The inner seal separates non-filtered fluid from filtered fluid. The outer seal separates the fluid from the external environment. A connection structure on an outer surface of the nutplate allows connection to other equipment.
