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

A filter assembly comprises a filter element and a housing. The filter element comprises a filter media, and an alignment feature positioned on at least a portion of an outer surface of the filter media. The alignment feature comprises an alignment channel. The housing defines a housing internal volume. At least a portion of the filter element is positioned within the housing internal volume. The housing comprises an alignment protrusion extending axially from a housing inner surface towards the filter element so as to mate with the alignment channel. The alignment feature comprises a ring member positioned circumferentially around the filter media at a filter media first end proximate to the housing, and a filter baffle extending from the ring member. The filter baffle is circumferentially positioned on at least a portion of the outer surface of the filter media and defines the alignment channel.

Filter element and housing having non-circular cross-sections

A latch element for use with a filter element is described. The latch element includes a first end and a second end spaced laterally from the first end. An engagement portion is disposed between the first end and the second end. The engagement portion is configured to engage a housing. The handle portion is adjacent to the second end. The handle portion is configured to engage the filter element and facilitate removal of the filter element.
