Rotating coalescer elements that maximize the radial-projected separation surface area in a given (rotating) cylindrical volume, where flow to be cleaned is passing axially upward or downward through a separating media of the rotating coalescer element. Various example package assemblies are provided with various types of rotating configurations including cylindrical coiled media packs, frustum coiled media packs, concentric cylinders, coiled metal or polymer films with and without perforations, and/or alternating layers of different materials. The described rotating coalescers may be driven by hydraulic turbine, electric motor, belt, gear or by mounting on rotating machine components, such as rotating engine shafts or connected components.

Axial flow centrifugal separator

Various embodiments relate to a filtration system. The filtration system includes a housing having a drain. A filter element is positioned within the housing. The filter element comprises a first endplate and a second endplate. Filter media is positioned between the first endplate and second endplate. A dual lip seal member is coupled to the second endplate. The dual lip seal member includes a first protrusion that extends radially outward around an outer surface of the dual lip seal member. A second protrusion extends radially outward around the outer surface of the dual lip seal member. The dual lip seal member is configured to prevent fluid to be filtered from exiting the housing through the drain when the filter element is in an installed position. The dual lip seal member permits residual fluid to exit the housing through the drain when the filter element is displaced from the installed position.

A filter cartridge endplate () is described herein that has a integrated flow structure. For example, the integrated flow structure has concentric flow portions disposed at a center of the endplate (), where a separator () is built into the endplate () the separates fluid flow. The endplate () includes a plate with a major surface, a separator () that protrudes axially away from the major surface. The separator () includes a first flow portion () and a second flow portion (), where the first flow portion () is disposed radially inward relative to the second flow portion (). The first flow portion () includes a channel () and the second flow portion includes a channel (). The respective channels () ae configured to allow axial fluid flow relative to the plate, and configured to allow fluid flow that is localized toward the center of the plate ().

Filter cartridge endplate with integrated flow structure

A filter element comprises a filter media for filtering a fluid, an endcap positioned at an axial end of the filter media, and a seal member. The endcap comprises a main wall that defines a central aperture. The seal member is positioned within the central aperture of the endcap and is adhered to the endcap.

Integrated multifunctional endcap seal member

A filter assembly includes a filter housing, a filter housing lid, a filter cartridge, an endplate, and a seal member. The filter housing defines a first cavity and comprises a return passage in fluid communication with the first cavity. The filter housing lid is selectively coupled to the filter housing and defines a second cavity coextensive with the first cavity. The filter cartridge is positioned within the first cavity. The endplate is coupled to a first end of the filter cartridge. The endplate is configured to interface with the filter housing. The seal member is coupled to the endplate and is configured to be received in the return passage. The endplate is configured to partially separate the filter housing from the filter cartridge.

A filter cartridge endplate () is described herein that has an integrated flow structure. For example, the integrated flow structure has concentric flow portions disposed at a center of the endplate (), where a separator () is built into the endplate () that separates fluid flow. The endplate () includes a plate with a major surface, it separator () that protrudes axially away from the major surface. The separator () includes a first flow portion () and a second flow portion (), where the first flow portion () is disposed radially inward relative to the second flow portion (). The first flow portion () includes a channel () and the second flow portion includes a channel (). The respective channels () are configured to allow axial fluid flow relative to the plate, and configured to allow fluid flow that is localized toward the center of the plate ().

A filter system including a designated filter cartridge including a geometric projection therein and a filter cartridge housing. The filter cartridge housing including a valve that controls fluid flow out of the filter system, a filter cartridge housing, and a filter cartridge housing cover. The valve may include an opening keyed to the geometric projection such that the geometric projection engages the opening and actuates the valve, and the valve may be configured to attach to the filter cartridge housing cover by a snap fit connection.

No filter no run fluid filtration system

A filter assembly includes a filter body, a removable filter cartridge, and the bypass valve with incinerable and non-incinerable portions. The bypass valve includes a valve seat and a movable valve closure element removable with the removable filter cartridge and incinerable. The bypass valve includes a return member remaining in the filter body. A method is provided for controlling bypass valve-opening threshold pressure.

Filter having a filter cartridge, and corresponding filter cartridge

A filter cartridge includes a filter media defining an interior space, and having a first end and a second end, a first end plate connected to the first end, and a second end plate connected to the second end. A pin is connected to the second end plate and extends downwardly into the interior space. The pin defines a flow passage therethrough that communicates the interior space with an outside of the filter cartridge.

No filter no run filter assembly with air vent

A filter cartridge endplate () is described herein that has an integrated flow structure. For example, the integrated flow structure has concentric flow portions disposed at a center of the endplate (), where a separator () is built into the endplate () that separates fluid flow. The endplate () includes a plate with a major surface, a separator () that protrudes axially away from the major surface. The separator () includes a first flow portion () and a second flow portion (), where the first flow portion () is disposed radially inward relative to the second flow portion (). The first flow portion () includes a channel () and the second flow portion includes a channel (). The respective channels () are configured to allow axial fluid flow relative to the plate, and configured to allow fluid flow that is localized toward the center of the plate ().

An internal combustion engine crankcase ventilation rotating coalescer includes an annual rotating coalescing filter element, an inlet port supplying blow by gas from the crankcase to the hollow interior of the annular rotating coalescing filter element, and an outlet port delivering clean separated, air from the exterior of the rotating element. The direction of flow by gas inside-out, radially, outwardly from the hollow interior to the exterior.

A spin-on filter that eliminates the use of a nut plate and reduces the number of separate components. Instead, the spin-on filter utilizes the end plate of the filtercartridge to perform a number of functions, including closing the open end of the filter shell, sealing between the dirty and clean fluid sides, sealing between the filter and the mounting head to prevent leakage outside the filter to environment, attaching the filter cartridge to the shell, and sealing the end of the filter media.
