The provided invention relates to replacement filtration elements for liquid purification devices of different type, including liquid purification devices of gravity type, and liquid purification units of beverage preparation systems, for example dispensers or coffee machines. Filtration cartridge, comprises the body with the raw water inlets made in its basement, filled with the filtration material with the purified water tube inside, connected to purified water outlet, made in the central part of the body, characterized in that is equipped with redistribution means of raw water flows.

A multi-functional water filtration apparatus includes an outer housing defining a receptacle for receiving a filter assembly and having an inlet port at a first end for intake of unfiltered water and being open at a second end. The filter assembly includes an endcap closing the second end of the outer housing and a filter element enclosed within the outer housing. The endcap has an outlet port for dispensing filtered water. The outer housing has a flow passageway extending between the inlet port and the outlet port. The filter element is disposed in the flow passageway and has an upstream side in fluid communication with the inlet port and a downstream side in fluid communication with the outlet port. In certain aspects, the filtration apparatus provides multiple attachment options. In further aspects, a method of filtering water is provided.

Oil filtration unit for removal of contaminants from oil including a housing with an inlet to receive contaminated oil from surroundings and release oil to an inner opening at a first pressure, an outlet adapted to release filtered oil to surroundings, and an oil filter for filtering oil in the inner opening of the housing. The oil filter includes an inlet with an outer surface, an inner volume to receive filtered oil at a second pressure lower than the first pressure, and an outlet inside the housing providing fluid/liquid communication between the inner volume and the housing outlet. The filter outlet includes a hydraulic resistance providing a fluid/liquid flow restriction between the inner volume and the housing outlet to increase the second pressure inside the inner filter volume and release the oil from the inner filter volume to the housing outlet at a third pressure lower than the second pressure.

A filter unit is disclosed that increases solids loading capacity, decreases specific flowrate during filtration, and improves backwash effectiveness. A flow shaping plate and/or flow diverting member are used to reduce flow entrance effects during reverse, backwash flow through the filter unit.

A fluid filter device with a housing defining a cavity, the housing including a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet, a filter unit including a filter substrate and arranged within the cavity such that the filter unit and the housing define, within the cavity, a first chamber in fluid communication with the fluid inlet and a second chamber in fluid communication with the fluid outlet. The filter unit is movable relative to the housing between a first position and a second position such that in the first position, the first chamber is in fluid communication with the second chamber through the filter substrate, and in the second position, the inlet is in fluid communication with the outlet through a bypass line.
