A filtration system comprises a housing and a shell housing removably coupled to the housing. A valve comprise a valve housing and a plunger. The plunger comprises a seal member structured to seal an opening in the valve housing. The plunger is axially movable between a closed position, in which the seal member seals the opening, and an open position, in which the seal member does not seal the opening, thereby permitting fluid to flow through the valve housing. A filter element comprises filter media and an endcap. The endcap comprises an alignment tab configured to rotationally secure the filter element with respect to the shell housing when the shell housing is received in the housing. The endcap comprise a valve interaction projection structured to transfer rotation of the filter element and the shell housing to the plunger during installation of the filter element.

The invention discloses a gas valve (11) for ventilation, comprising a main body (12) having a first gas chamber (13), a second gas chamber (15) and at least an inlet duct (14) for supplying a gas to the first gas chamber (13). The gas valve (11) further comprises a proportional valve (24) for temporally sealing the first gas chamber (13) from the second gas chamber (15). The second gas chamber (15) comprises at least a second passage opening (22) for releasing the gas from the second gas chamber (15) and the second gas chamber (15) comprises a port (30) for connecting a pressure measurement apparatus for measuring the gas pressure in the second gas chamber (15). The invention further discloses a circuit with a ventilation limb comprising a gas valve (11) and a method for determining a releasing gas flow of a gas valve.

A multiple stage separation vortex flow air filter includes an air filter housing (AFH) having a central axis; a cylindrical helical plate located within the AFH proximate an upper shell bottom of the AFH; an air inlet eccentrically connected to the AFH to cause air flowing through the air inlet to create a vortex around the cylindrical helical plate; an perforated conical element in which the air flows through, the perforated conical element within the cylindrical helical plate around the central axis; an oblong conical casing that forms a conical passage and located along the central axis and partially within the perforated conical element, wherein air enters the conical passage through a whirling ring; and an air filter element within the oblong conical casing, wherein air flows through the air filter element and enters into an engine through an outlet pipe.

An air intake unit for an engine of a vehicle includes a housing, a bypass air intake, a shutter element, and actuator. A plenum is defined inside the housing which can be connected to the engine. Air coming from the outside needed for the operation of the engine can be sucked into the plenum through the bypass air intake. The shutter element is coupled to the bypass air intake and is mounted to move between a closed position, in which the shutter element closes the bypass air intake, and an open position, in which the shutter element leaves the passage through the bypass air intake free. The actuator is configured to move the shutter element between the closed position and the open position. The actuator has a spring configured to generate, by expanding, an opening movement moving the shutter element from the closed position to the open position.

A fluid filter with a housing, a releasable cover, and a replaceable filter having a filter body and two end discs. The filter is plugged onto a housing pipe and a locking ring is guided on the pipe, preloaded in a push-out direction. The locking ring is locked in a pushed-out position by a locking device. An unlocking device guided by the filter unlocks the locking device when the filter is pushed onto the pipe and enables the locking ring and the filter to be pushed in. When the filter is fitted into the housing, a seal on the end disc or locking ring interacts with a housing sealing surface to separate an untreated filter side from a clean side. When the locking ring is in the pushed-out position and the filter bears against the locking ring, the seal is held away from the sealing surface of the housing.

An air filter has a filter housing. A first flat filter element and a second flat filter element, each having a filter medium body with an inflow surface and an outflow surface, are arranged in the filter housing. A flow guiding device selectively guides an air flow to be filtered through the first flat filter element and the second flat filter element in series or at least partially past the second flat filter element. The outflow surface of the first flat filter element and the inflow surface of the second flat filter element are spaced apart from each other and form a widening bypass channel. The filter medium body of at least one of the first flat filter element and the second flat filter element has an intrinsically changing height and has a reduced height in a region of a larger width of the bypass channel.

The present disclosure is directed to a manifold assembly for a trap filter system having an inlet for receiving a flow of gas effluents containing contaminants generated by a semiconductor processing tool, a housing for a plurality of filters, wherein the plurality of trap filters connected to the inlet and are interchangeable while the semiconductor processing tool remains in operation, and a bypass mechanism configured to selectively direct or shut off the flow of gas effluent to one or more of the plurality of trap filters, wherein each of the plurality of filter is removable and replaceable when the filter is unable to effectuate the removal of contaminants.

A filter element for filtering a fluid has a frame and at least one filter bellows arranged in the frame and provided with a first areal inflow surface for a first fluid flow and at least one second inflow surface for a second fluid flow separate from the first fluid flow. The second inflow surface is separate from the first areal inflow surface. A flow channel is provided to guide the second fluid flow and has a raw-side flow channel section arranged within the frame. A filter system provided with a filter housing is provided with such a filter element arranged exchangeably in the filter housing between a raw side and a clean side. The filter housing has a first inlet for the first fluid flow communicating with the first inflow surface and at least a second inlet for the second fluid flow communicating with the second inflow surface.

A filter element for filtering a fluid is provided with at least one filter bellows with a first areal inflow surface for a first fluid flow of the fluid and at least one second inflow surface for a second fluid flow of the fluid separate from the first fluid flow of the fluid. The at least one second inflow surface is separate from the first areal inflow surface. A flow channel section for the second fluid flow of the fluid is provided. At least one compensation element is arranged in the flow channel section for the second fluid flow of the fluid at a raw side of the filter element. A filter system with a filter housing is provided with such a filter element arranged exchangeably in the filter housing.

An air filter has a filter housing with inlet opening, outlet opening, and service opening. A first filter element and a second filter element are arranged inside the filter housing between inlet opening and outlet opening. The first filter element is arranged in a mounting frame. The first and second filter elements can be flowed through serially in one or more operating states of the air filter. The mounting frame is insertable through the service opening into the filter housing in a joining direction and removable from the filter housing opposite to the joining direction. The second filter element has a wedge stop. A clamping wedge arranged at the mounting frame, upon insertion of the mounting frame into the filter housing, contacts the wedge stop of the second filter element and clamps the second filter element at the filter housing in a clamping direction transversely to the joining direction.
