An additive carrier for a spin-on filter is provided. The additive carrier is positioned at an upstream side of the filter and includes a basket defining an annular body. The annular body includes a concentric opening extending therethrough, a circumferentially extending recess configured to receive and store an additive material and a plurality of flanges extending radially within the recess, the flanges spaced apart in a circumferential direction of the recess to form a plurality of sub-recesses.

An assembly is provided for a turbine engine. This turbine engine assembly includes a turbine engine component and a lubrication system. The lubrication system directs lubricant through the turbine engine component. The lubrication system includes a wash flow filter.

A filter of a filter device has a filter housing with a connecting side provided with a connecting element for detachably connecting the filter to a filter head of the filter device by a rotational and/or insertion movement relative to an imaginary connecting axis of filter and filter head. The filter housing has an inlet for fluid to be purified and an outlet for purified fluid. An outer seal seals a connection of the filter with the filter head relative to the environment. The outer seal is circumferentially continuous relative to the connecting axis. A closure element is provided to close off, when the filter is connected to the filter head, a fluid drain in the filter head provided for draining fluid when removing the filter from the filter head. The outer seal is acting sealingly at least in radial direction relative to the connecting axis.

A filter cartridge is provided that is designed to actuate a valve that controls fluid flow into an outlet for discharging filtered fluid. The valve receives a ball at a first position which is axially movable between the first position and a second position. If a filter cartridge is not installed or an inappropriately designed filter cartridge is installed, the ball is moved from the first position to the second position to seal an outlet opening of the outlet. If the described filter cartridge is installed, the ball is retained at the first position by a holding member and the valve allows filtered fluid flow into the outlet opening.

An oil filter assembly is disclosed for a machine, such as an internal combustion engine, that has an oil output port and an oil input port. A mounting plate is fixed with an outer enclosure. The mounting plate is further adapted to conduct oil from the machine into a peripheral portion of the outer enclosure, and then returning oil from a central portion of the outer enclosure back to the machine. Oil may pass from the peripheral portion to the central portion through a primary filter having a first porosity. A pressure-actuated valve is fixed fluidly between the portions of the outer enclosure.

A valve includes a deformable portion connected to a rigid portion. A portion of a surface of a frustoconical body of the rigid portion is disposed adjacent a portion of a surface of a frustoconical body of the deformable portion. A portion of a surface of an upper axially-extending portion of the rigid portion is disposed adjacent a portion of a surface of an upper axially-extending portion of the deformable portion. A portion of the surface of the frustoconical body of the deformable portion that is not disposed adjacent a portion of the surface of the frustoconical body of the rigid portion defines a circumferential void. The circumferential void is in fluid communication with a plurality of upstream radial bypass passages extending through the frustoconical body of the rigid portion.

A method and means are described for rapidly evacuating trapped air from the top of a top-loaded liquid filter housing. An air vent means is provided that prevents complete sealing between a bypass valve and a sealing surface on an endcap of a replaceable filter element. The air vent means enables the rapid evacuation of trapped air in the top of the housing chamber, but permits only a negligible flow rate of liquid, for example oil, through the air vent means once air is evacuated due to high viscosity ratio of liquid, such as oil, versus air.
