A filter for filtering fluid has a filter housing with fluid inlet for fluid to be filtered and fluid outlet for filtered fluid. A filter element arranged in the filter housing separates fluid inlet fluidically from fluid outlet. A bypass valve arrangement is arranged fluidically between fluid inlet and fluid outlet such that it fluidically connects in an open state fluid inlet to fluid outlet. The bypass valve arrangement has a valve closure body arranged movably in the valve housing between a closed position and an open position. The bypass valve arrangement has a valve seat element with valve seat. The valve closure body rests sealingly at the valve seat in closed position. The valve seat element is connected to a part of the valve housing by a mechanical connection realized by relative rotation between valve seat element and part of the valve housing about a valve axis.

Examples described herein provide a method that includes determining, by a processing device, a first pressure differential across a first high-pressure filter of an automated high-pressure filter system. The method further includes selectively controlling, by the processing device and based at least in part on the first pressure differential, a switching unit of the automated high-pressure filter system to cause fluid to selectively flow through at least one of the first high-pressure filter and a bypass line of the automated high-pressure filter system.

A filter device has a filter housing (1) with a fluid inlet (13) for raw fluid, with a fluid outlet (3) for filtrate and with at least one one-piece or multi-piece filter insert (5, 7) received in the filter housing (1). The filter insert can be cleaned using at least one back-flushing member (21) in counter-current to the filtration direction. This back-flushing member can, by a fluid-guiding driveshaft (23) of a rotary drive (35), be moved along the inner side (19) of the respective filter insert (5, 7) and has, at its end adjacent to this inner side (19), a gap-shaped passage opening (39) that extends parallel to the axis of rotation of the driveshaft (23) and that discharges into a flow space (41; 57; 67) fluidically connected to the driveshaft (23). The flow space at least partially continuously narrows in the direction of the driveshaft (23) in a first plane in which the passage opening (39) lies. In another second plane transverse to the first plane, the flow space (41; 57; 67) at least partially continuously widens proceeding from the passage opening (39) in the direction of the driveshaft (23).

A filtration system includes a housing and a filter element positioned within the housing. The housing includes a first housing end and a second housing end. A drain opening is defined in the second housing end. The filter element includes a first endplate and a second endplate defining an endplate opening. Filter media is positioned between and extending axially between the first endplate and the second endplate. The filter media defines a central opening extending axially therein. A drain plug axially protrudes from the second endplate in a direction away from the filter media. The drain plug is configured to engage the drain opening and facilitate installation of the filter element into the housing. A lid is configured to engage the first housing end. The engagement between the lid and the first housing end occurs when the drain plug is disposed within the drain opening.

A rechargeable spin-on filter includes a cover, a housing threadably joined with the housing, and a filter element that can be removed and replaced with another filter element relative thereto. The cover and/or housing can be plastic. The cover can include a bottom plate having inlet ports and an outlet port. The filter element can include an end cap defining a perimeter about an inner dimension, such as an inner diameter. The cap can define a groove to receive a rib of a support tube over which the element is installed. Alignment of the rib and groove can index and register the element with the support tube. A related method is provided.

Systems and methods for managing debris material in a fluid are described. In examples, the system may include a flow line that directs a fluid into an inlet of a barrel, through the barrel to filter at least some material from the fluid, and out of an outlet of the barrel. The system may also include a backflush line coupled to the flow line between an inlet valve and an inlet of the barrel and between an outlet valve and an outlet of the barrel. In examples, the system includes a pump positioned on the backflush line, where in a backflush mode, the inlet and outlet valves close to isolate the barrel, and the pump circulates the fluid through the backflush line and through the barrel in a reverse direction to move fluid and material from the barrel to a screen overflow assembly.
