An apparatus and a method are provided for a high capacity oil filter configured to remove contaminants from engine oil flowing within an internal combustion engine. The oil filter comprises a hollow canister having a length and a diameter suitable for housing a large filtration medium. A base gasket forms a fluid-tight seal between the oil filter and the engine. A base plate circulates oil from the engine through the oil filter. An anti-drainback valve prevents oil from draining out of the filter and passages within the engine when the engine is not operating. A key aspect of the present disclosure is that the relatively large dimensions and the configuration of the filtration media provide a large surface area for entrapping contaminants flowing with the engine oil.

A method and apparatus for cleaning, and removing contaminants from the interior of a lubrication rundown tank of a mechanical system provides a source of pressurized and heated cleaning fluid containing at least one solvent; a first jumper hose communicating between the source of pressurized cleaning fluid and the interior of the lubrication rundown tank; a second jumper hose communicating between the interior of the lubrication rundown tank and a dirty fluid collection body; and an outlet spray nozzle carried by a nozzle extension placed within the interior of the lubrication rundown tank and in fluid communication with the source of pressurized and heated cleaning fluid to receive the pressurized and heated cleaning fluid therefrom.

The present invention relates to a method for converting a full flow oil and/or fuel filter system into a bypass filter system comprising the use of a retro-fittable bypass filter configured to directly replace the pre-existing full flow filter, without the need for additional hoses or mounts etc. as in existing methods. Also described is a filter device for converting a full flow oil and/or fuel filter system into a bypass filter system comprising: an inlet for allowing fluid into the filter; a plurality of screens for filtering particles from the fluid; a cellulose element for filtering moisture from the fluid; an outlet for allowing fluid out of the filter; and a bypass for fluid to bypass the cellulose element and at least one screen and exit the filter, wherein the bypass filter is configured to directly replace the pre-existing full flow filter.

An apparatus and a method are provided for an oil filter-leak pressure-test station. The oil filter-leak pressure-test station comprises an air pump, a pressure gauge, a vent valve, an overflow reservoir, and a manifold configured to receive an oil filter. The oil filter-leak pressure-test station is configured to apply a desired internal air pressure to an oil filter for observing the oil filter assembly for any potential leaks, such as along a seal ring, rolled seam or a nut-end. The oil filter-leak pressure-test station is also configured to be mounted in a vise or similar mechanical attachment for observation to determine the extent or existence of any leak in the oil filter. The oil filter-leak pressure-test station may also be submerged in water using a submersion reservoir, so as to determine the existence and location of any leaks.

A cast metallic adaptor for a filtering and cooling assembly that eliminates the needs for inserts or plugs and provides for direct threading of associated components to the adaptor. This construction also provides an enclosed flow path with a common axis for improved durability against burst pressure, heat and age degradation, and conditions related to cycling.

A device for cleaning liquids or gaseous media, having a cup-shaped or pot-shaped housing, having an exchangeable interior precipitating element, a medium inlet for medium to be cleaned, a medium outlet for cleaned medium and a housing cover, removably connected to the housing by a connection. The housing has a first circumferential connector and the housing cover has a compatible second circumferential connector, which can be engaged and disengaged by circumferential twisting relative to each other. The first connector or the second connector have at least one interruption extending in the connector axial direction and the precipitating element has at least one positioning arm which, in the installed state of the precipitating element and when the housing cover is connected to the housing, is received at least partially in the at least one connector interruption, in a position and orientation corresponding to the connector interruption.

A marine engine includes a first turbocharger, a first intercooler, a second turbocharger, a second intercooler, an oil filter, and a top cover. The first turbocharger and the second turbocharger supply air by using an exhaust gas. The first intercooler and the second intercooler cool gases having passed through the turbochargers, respectively. The top cover is a cover arranged in an upper region of the marine engine. These devices are arranged so as not to overlap one another when seen in the thickness direction of the top cover.
