The use of electrical analyzers to monitor and control separation processes is described. The electrical analyzers monitor electromagnetic properties of materials being treated, and are used to adjust the separation process based on the changing electromagnetic properties. The electrical analyzers generally sample process fluid and apply a static or varying electric field to the process fluid while monitoring energy uptake of the process fluid from the electric field by measuring electrical parameters of the circuit. The changing electrical response of the process is related to changing process conditions and can be used to control the process.

A fluidic system having a first volume, a second volume and a membrane geometrically separating the two volumes, which has an open-pore microstructure for the passage of a first medium and a second medium. There is a contact angle (Θ) between the interface of the media and the pore surface. A first electrical field in the region of the membrane and a first electromagnetic radiation and a first heating of the membrane define a first state (Z.sub.1), in which the membrane is not wetted or is less wetted by the first medium and is more heavily wetted by the second medium such that a first contact angle Θ.sub.1>90° is formed between the pore surface and the interface. The first medium and the second medium and the pore surface have a surface energy of which at least one surface energy can be reversibly changed in such a way that a second contact angle Θ.sub.2<Θ.sub.1 occurs between the pore surface and the interface in a second state (Z.sub.2).

The invention relates to an engine oil system (1, 1′, 101) for supplying oil to oil using components (3) in a vehicle (800). The engine oil system comprises an oil pan (10) for holding oil received from the oil using components, an oil pump (20) fluidly connected to the oil pan for pumping oil from the oil pan to the oil using components, and an oil filter (30, 30′ 130) configured for cleaning the oil. The oil filter has a filter inlet (32, 32′, 132) for receiving oil to be cleaned, and a filter outlet (34, 34′ 134) for discharging oil from the oil filter. The oil filter is arranged in the oil pan such that, in use, the filter outlet discharges oil into the oil pan.

A filter arrangement for the filtration of oil or an ATF fluid, in particular a transmission oil filter, has at least a first and a second filtration layer which are arranged spaced apart by at least one spacer in a filter housing to form at least one intermediate chamber. At least one magnet or a magnet arrangement for keeping iron particles out of the oil flow are provided between the first and the second filtration layers.

A filtering device for fluids includes a filter housing (1) and a filter element (9) received in the filter housing. The filter element has an end cap (17) on at least one end. The end cap forms an enclosure for the corresponding end edge of the filtering material (23, 35) and is fixed on an element receiver (13) interacting with the bottom part (5) of the filter housing (1) to fix the position of the filter element (9) in its functional position. The element receiver forms a fluid path for the cleaned fluid exiting the hollow chamber (19) of the filter element (9). The element receiver (13) contains a valve arrangement (55) blocking the fluid path (35). A control device (79, 83) releasing the valve arrangement (55) in the functional position is on the end cap (17) of the filtering element (9). The end cap is fixed on the element receiver (13).
