SEALING SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR A FILTRATION SYSTEM

A filter assembly includes a filter head and a filter cartridge. The filter head includes a filter head coupling surface, a filter head outlet, a filter head inner wall, and a filter head outer wall. The filter head coupling surface defines a filter head opening. The filter head outlet is configured to provide a fluid. The filter head inner wall extends around the filter head outlet. The filter head outer wall extends around the filter head inner wall. The filter head inner wall and the filter head outer wall collectively define a filter head channel. The filter cartridge includes a filter cartridge shell and a filter element. The filter cartridge shell has a filter cartridge coupling surface that is configured to be coupled to the filter head coupling surface. The filter cartridge shell defines a filter cartridge opening.

Fuel supply device
11248569 · 2022-02-15 · ·

A fuel supply device includes a filter device, a pump, a suction pipe, and a bubble removing device. The filter device includes a first filter that filters a fuel, a filter chamber surrounded by the first filter, and a filter opening that is in fluid communication with the filter chamber. The pump has a pump suction port for drawing the fuel from the filter chamber. The suction pipe fluidly connects the filter opening to the pump suction port. The bubble removing device is disposed in at least one of the filter device and the suction pipe. The bubble removing device includes a valve device that is configured to discharge a bubble contained in the fuel to the internal space of the fuel tank, and a foreign matter regulator that is disposed between the valve device and the internal space and that regulates or prevents a foreign matter contained in the fuel from flowing into the fuel supply device.

Engine apparatus

An engine apparatus includes an engine, a supercharger, an evaporated fuel treatment device, a controller and the engine apparatus is configured to determine a purge classification whether the evaporated fuel is a first purge in which the evaporated fuel flows dominantly in a first purge passage or a second purge in which the evaporated fuel flows dominantly in a second purge passage based on a relative ejector pressure that is a pressure of a suction port of the ejector and a value obtained by adding an offset amount based on a cross-sectional area of the second purge passage with respect to a cross-sectional area of the first purge passage to a pressure behind a throttle valve that is the pressure on a downstream side of the throttle valve of the intake pipe.

No filter no run fluid filter with integration of low pressure fluid system

A no filter no run (NFNR) fluid filter and fluid filter assembly are provided. The NFNR fluid filter assembly includes a fluid filter, a filter head or filter housing, and a bypass flow path. The bypass flow path may be sealed off when a compliant filter is installed. When a non-compliant filter is installed (a filter without a bypass seal), fluid may flow to the bypass flow path.
