A filtration system is provided that includes a gearbox positioned in a geared turbofan engine. The system further includes an auxiliary lubrication system positioned in the geared turbofan engine and in fluid communication with the gearbox. The auxiliary lubrication system includes an auxiliary reservoir, an auxiliary pump in fluid communication with the auxiliary reservoir, an auxiliary return line extending between the gearbox and the auxiliary reservoir, the auxiliary return line configured to transport a lubricant from the gearbox to the auxiliary reservoir, and an auxiliary supply line extending between the auxiliary pump and the gearbox, the auxiliary supply line configured to transport the lubricant from the auxiliary pump to the gearbox. The system further includes a non-removable filter positioned in the auxiliary lubrication system. The non-removable filter is configured to prevent or limit debris that is suspended in the lubricant from flowing into the gearbox and/or the auxiliary pump.

A filter is used for removing metallic contaminants in a solvent used in microcircuit fabrication. The filter includes a filter housing including a filter membrane for filtering solvent including metallic contaminants, and a magnet arranged about the filter housing and configured to generate a magnetic field to attract the metallic contaminants prior to the metallic contaminants entering the filter membrane. The magnet is arranged such that the magnetic field of the magnet is greater in a periphery of the filter housing compared to a central portion of the filter housing.

A magnetite level monitoring device for a magnetic filter in a central heating system, the magnetic filter including a separation chamber, an inlet to the chamber and an outlet from the chamber, and a magnetic element disposed within the chamber for attracting magnetic particles and removing the magnetic particles from the system water as it flows through the chamber, and the monitoring device including: a housing for placing adjacent to the outside of the separation chamber; a magnetometer mounted to the housing; a magnetic field guide mounted to the housing, the magnetic field guide being disposed between the magnetometer and the outside of the separation chamber, when the housing is mounted to the separation chamber; and output means adapted to issue a notification when the output from the magnetometer exceeds a predetermined threshold.

A hydronic system separator has an air separator with a vent release mechanism to remove air from the fluid within a hydronic system. The separator includes a magnetic assembly for collecting ferrous particles from the fluid. One or more screens are used to remove other particles from the fluid. The separator housing includes a removable debris collection receptacle that has a drain assembly.

An intake device includes an air filter that filters intake air for an internal combustion engine, a filter casing housing the air filter, and an air physical quantity sensor. The filter casing includes an intake passage to allow the intake air to pass from upstream to downstream of the air filter. The filter casing has a passage wall portion that is electrically conductive and exposed to the intake passage on a downstream side of the air filter. The air physical quantity sensor has: a sensor element that detects a specific physical quantity related to the intake air on a downstream side of the air filter; and a grounding structure electrically connected to the passage wall portion for grounding the sensor element.
