A fluid-purifying element has a purifying medium delimiting an element interior. An end body is disposed at an axial end face of the purifying medium and has a radially outer circumferential side provided with an elastic annular seal element. The end body has an end body holding contour for the seal element that extends at least in sections continuously circumferentially at the radially outer circumferential side. The seal element has a seal holding contour arranged at a radially inner circumferential side thereof. The seal element has a seal surface extending at least across a portion of a radially outer circumferential side thereof. The end body holding contour has a protrusion extending at least part-circumferentially and radially outwardly. The protrusion tapers radially outwardly. The seal holding contour has a V-shaped depression extending at least part-circumferentially and radially outwardly. The end body holding contour engages the seal holding contour.

In some examples, a filter assembly may include a filter including a first gasket having a first channel adjacent to a first side of the filter and a second gasket having a second channel adjacent to a second side of the filter. The first gasket and the second gasket may include a beveled surface adjacent to the filter. The first channel and the second channel may include a diameter of from about 0.01 mm to about 0.5 mm. A finger tightening system may securely hold the filter without any leaks.

An assembly system for components of a pressurized fluid supply system for an agricultural vehicle includes a body having at least one fluid duct connectable at one end to a pressurized fluid supply and having a socket at the other end. A detachable component such as an accumulator or oil filter is connectable in releasable mechanical engagement with the body to receive pressurized fluid from the at least one fluid duct. The engagement results from insertion of at least a portion of the component into the socket and rotation of the component to a locked position. The body has at least one discharge duct extending therethrough. In a partially rotated position of the component portion within the socket, the component remains mechanically attached to the body and the fluid duct and discharge duct are in fluidic connection, discharging accumulated pressure in the fluid duct.

A Spin-on filter assembly that can be used with both suction-side and pressure-side filtration systems is described. The filter assembly screws onto a filter mounting head. The filter mounting head is part of a filtration system that provides fluid to be filtered to the filter assembly. The filter assembly filters the fluid to be filtered through a filter media contained within the filter assembly and provides the filtered fluid back to the filter mounting head. The filter assembly includes an upper seal that seals the clean side of the filter media from the dirty side of the filter media when the filter assembly is connected to the filter mounting head in an installed position. The upper seal includes a sealing ridge that has an elongated shape and is flexible such that the filter assembly can be used on both pressure-side and suction side applications in filtration systems.

A filter arrangement for threadably securing to a filter head includes a housing having a surrounding wall defining an interior volume, an open mouth providing access to the interior volume and an end opposite of the open mouth. The surrounding wall has an exterior and an interior. A filter media construction is operably held within the interior volume. A sleeve, distinct from the housing, is secured to the exterior of the surrounding wall adjacent to the housing mouth and extending partially along the surrounding wall. The sleeve has an exterior and an interior. The exterior of the sleeve defines mounting threads constructed and arranged to removably mount with the filter head, when the filter arrangement is secured to the filter head. The interior of the sleeve is against the exterior of the surrounding wall. A first seal member is oriented against the sleeve to create a seal with a filter head, when the filter arrangement is secured to the filter head. A filter assembly includes a filter arrangement and a filter head. The filter arrangement is removably secured to the filter head by a threaded connection between the sleeve and the filter head. A system includes an engine utilizing a liquid and a filter assembly in fluid communication with the engine to filter the liquid. Methods of making filter arrangements include utilizing structures characterized above.

A filter cartridge assembly for an ice making appliance having a rectilinear filter cartridge with a plurality of partitions that are positioned within an internal chamber, form multiple sub-chambers, and create a non-linear pathway for the flow of water through the filter cartridge. Filter media positioned in the sub-chambers of the filter cartridge are configured to remove dissolved solids from water travelling through the filter cartridge and used by the appliance to create ice, including clear ice.

One aspect of the disclosure provides a filter element including a first end cap, a second end cap, a ring of filter media and an annular seal. The first end cap defines a cylindrical collar that circumscribes a first central opening and includes a substantially planar first outer surface that extends radially outward from the cylindrical collar to an outer peripheral edge. The second end cap defines a second central opening substantially coaxial with the first central opening. The ring of filter media is disposed between the first end cap and the second end cap, and circumscribes a central cavity in fluid communication with the first central opening and the second central opening. The annular seal is disposed upon the first outer surface of the first end cap and around the cylindrical collar. The annular seal extends axially way from the first outer surface.

The present invention relates to a filtering device for liquids and in particular for filtering fuels for aeronautical use (avio).

The present disclosure is directed to a filter system for a wind turbine, comprising at least a filter device having a filter housing with a volume portion and a cap portion, both defining a filter volume for receiving the oil filter. The filter housing is equipped with an inlet port, an outlet port and a pressure port. The filter system further comprises a pressurizing device having an interface port, and supply means for providing pressurized gas via the interface port, preferably into the filter housing of the filter device. The pressurizing device is configured for being connectable to the pressure port, preferably via a compensation duct. Furthermore, a method is disclosed, wherein the pressurizing device is connected to the filter housing, lubricant is discharged by applying pressurized gas into the filter volume, the cap portion is removed and an oil filter is subsequently replaced.

A system for further filtering a liquid extract material after an initial extraction process. In an embodiment, the system includes a semi-rigid filter cup that is substantially cylindrical, the filter cup having a top and a bottom, wherein the top is oriented to receive filter media prior to a filtration process, and material to be filtered during the filtration process. The filter cup includes an integrated deformable flange at the top of the filter cup, an integrated top o-ring that is integrated into the top of the integrated deformable flange and an integrated bottom o-ring that is integrated into the bottom of the integrated deformable flange.
