A filter material for use in fuel-water separation has a particle filtration layer and a coalescing layer downstream of, and coupled to, the particle filtration layer. The particle filtration layer is substantially constructed of binder fibers and media fibers. The coalescing layer has at least 70% glass fibers by weight. As another example, a filter material for liquid fuels has a particle filtration layer and a coalescing layer downstream of the particle filtration layer. The particle filtration layer has binder fibers and media fibers and is substantially free of meltblown materials. The ratio of air permeability of the particle filtration layer to air permeability of the coalescing layer ranges from about 3:1 to about 15:1.

Composite media for fuel streams

Embodiments disclosed herein relate to filter media having a downstream layer of filter material and an upstream layer of fibers. The downstream layer of filter material has a capture efficiency of at least 10% and the upstream layer of fibers has a mean fiber diameter of at least 10 microns and a solidity of less than 10%. A spacing structure defines a mean void distance between the upstream layer of fibers and the downstream layer of filter material.

Filter media with improved dust loading

A rupture disk system has a housing defining a central axis, a first axial end defining an axial opening and a second axial end. An airflow pathway extends from the first axial end facing towards the second axial end. A sealing surface is defined about the airflow pathway towards the first axial end. A shield extends across the airflow pathway on the second axial end. Radial openings are defined around the central axis, where the radial openings are positioned between the first and the second axial ends, such that the airflow pathway extends from the axial opening to the radial openings. A rupture disk is coupled to the housing across the airflow pathway. The rupture disk has a polymeric layer. The rupture disk has an unweakened region having a first thickness and a weakened region having a second thickness. A threshold rupture pressure is defined by the weakened region.

Polymeric rupture disk system

The current technology relates to filter media configurations where the filter media has a surface with a treatment that increases the roll off angle of the surface for a 50 μL water droplet when the surface is immersed in toluene. Some example filter media have a fluted configuration, and some example filter media have multiple layers. Filter media having multiple layers can be single facer media, for example, where one layer is planar and another layer is fluted.

Filter media configurations

A battery housing has a plurality of housing sidewalls defining an enclosure, where a first housing sidewall of the plurality of housing sidewalls defines a plurality of openings cumulatively defining a valve opening. The housing defines a valve coupling structure around the valve opening.

Housing with integrated spark arrestor

A substrate for use in a filter media including, for example, in a hydrocarbon fluid-water separation filter; methods of identifying the substrate; methods of making the substrate; methods of using the substrate; and methods of improving the roll off angle of the substrate. In some embodiments, the substrate includes a hydrophilic group-containing polymer or a hydrophilic group-containing polymer coating.
