An oil separator comprising includes a vessel body defining a chamber configured to receive a mixture of an oil and a coolant and a vane disposed in the chamber. The vane is configured to separate the oil from the coolant from the mixture of the oil and the coolant. A filter screen having a non-planar surface for filtering the oil is included with the oil separator.

A filter media can be configured to be securable in an at least partially curved configuration and/or received in a filter housing to form a filter assembly. Water filter media can be adapted for filter-as-you-pour filtration in the context of container (e.g., pitcher) systems where filtering is achieved as the user pours water from the container. The filter housing can have a frame and an optional casing securable about the frame. A filter assembly can include a filter media within, connected to, or associated with a filter housing. The filter media can be securable in an at least partially curved configuration and/or within, connected to, or associated with the filter housing.

Debris filters for automatic swimming pool cleaners may be formed of metal, carbon fibers, or composites more rigid than soft nylon bags. In at least one version, the filter may be made of, or include, steel or stainless steel. Non-uniform sizes, densities, and/or shapes of openings in the filtration material may be created to provide different levels of filtration in a single device.

A pressure control device includes a body having a groove-shaped flow path including a groove part and a widened part, and a filter unit capturing foreign matters mixed in a fluid which passes through the groove-shaped flow path; the filter unit having a frame body including a through hole part and a filter member in a planar plate shape disposed with respect to the through hole part, and the filter unit being accommodated in the widened part. The frame body has: a first part having a first shape, a second part having a second shape smaller than the first shape, and a step part located at a boundary part between the first part and the second part The second part has a storage part provided in a penetrating manner on a bottom part side of the groove-shaped flow path and storing the captured foreign matters.

The invention relates to a bioactive filter for the disinfection of liquids, in particular water or aqueous solutions in containers. A structure that is advantageous in terms of filter efficiency is obtained by forming a spherical or oval filter body (1), which is coated with noble metals (FIG. 1).

A filtration filter that includes a filter section having a plurality of through-holes passing through a first main surface and constructed such that objects to be filtered contained in a liquid are captured and a second main surface opposite the first main surface; and a frame section surrounding an outer periphery of the filter section, wherein a first film thickness at a center of the filter section is larger than a second film thickness of the filter section at a position closer to the frame section than the center of the filter section.

A system for filtering and recirculating a wash fluid associated with a piece of equipment. An outlet line extends from a drain location of the piece of equipment for communicating the wash fluid from the equipment to a first stage particulate removal filter. A further conduit extends from an outlet of the first stage filter for communicating the wash fluid to a first tank. A second stage filter is in communication with a first outlet extending from the first tank for continuously redirecting a subset portion of the fluid through the second stage filter. A return conduit extends from an outlet side of the second stage filter which is communicated with a second outlet extending from the first tank at a rejoining location for redirecting a recombined fluid back to an intake line for redelivery to the piece of equipment.

A pressure control device includes: a body having a groove-like channel containing a groove part and a widened part; and a filter unit having a cylindrical frame including a through hole part penetrating in a direction orthogonal to a central axis and a plate-shaped filter member disposed to cover the through hole part and supported on an inner side of the frame. The filter unit is accommodated in the widened part with a direction of the central axis of the frame being arranged along a depth direction of the widened part. The frame includes a convex part orthogonal to the penetrating direction of the through hole part and protruding toward an outer side of the frame.
