A fuel filter includes a manifold, a connector element, a filter bowl, a filter element, an inlet shutoff valve, an outlet shutoff valve, an inlet port, an inlet passage, an outlet port, an outlet passage and a relief valve in which the connector element is fixed to the manifold, and the filter bowl is reversibly fixed to the connector element, the connector element and the manifold define a chamber and the chamber is split into a second inlet chamber and a second outlet chamber by the relief valve. The filter bowl is adapted to reversibly receive the filter element and is so configured that when the filter element is located within the filter bowl and the filter bowl attached to the connection element, the filter element divides the space defined by the connector element and filter bowl into an inlet filter chamber and an outlet filter chamber.

A water filtration system and water filtration system head provide interchangeable water inlet and outlet ports, so that a direction of a flow of water through the water filtration system can be reversed by configuring a valve provided in the water filtration system head that attaches to a cartridge housing containing a water filter cartridge. The head has a first fluid channel communicating with a fluid volume between the cartridge housing and the outer surface of a water filter cartridge, a second fluid channel in communication with an inside of the cartridge, and a multi-position valve that either conducts inlet water from a first port to the first fluid channel and conducts outlet water from the second fluid channel to the second port, or conducts inlet water from the second port to the first fluid channel and conducts outlet water from the second fluid channel to the first port.

A water sediment filter assembly includes a screen member and a drain port which permits the removal of collected debris. The water sediment filter assembly includes a valve member which can be moved to different positions to permit the draining of collected sediment through the drain port.

A filtration device, in particular a disposable filtration device, has a flow path in which a filter element and an integrated flow reducer are arranged one behind the other. The flow reducer is adapted to be brought to a first operating position, which permits a defined first volume flow rate, and at least to a second operating position, which permits a defined second volume flow rate which is smaller than the first volume flow rate.

The present invention relates to fluid filtering apparatuses, for applications such as water filtration, that utilizes screen filters, and in particular, to such a filtering apparatus having autonomously controlled self-cleaning capabilities. A self-cleaning filter apparatus including a filtering housing for filtering a fluid across a screen filter, a flushing chamber for housing filtered debris, and a control assembly for autonomously switching between filtering phases of the filter based on the differential pressure across the filter that is channeled along portions of the control assembly, the control assembly including a flush valve assembly, a three position two way (3/2) valve and a differential pressure (DP) switch.

A filter cap includes a first end and a second end facing away from the first end. A first cylindrical projection projects from the first end of the filter cap and a second cylindrical projection projects from the second end. An annular recess is formed around the first cylindrical projection. The second cylindrical projection includes at least one peripheral groove for an O-ring and a plurality of radially inward extending ridges. A passageway extends through the first and second projections. The passageway has a first dimension in the first projection, a second dimension greater than the first dimension in the second projection near a distal end of the second projection, and a third dimension smaller than the second dimension within the second projection between the plurality of ridges.

A water-dispensing device includes a source water intake, a spigot, and first and second filters arranged between the intake and the spigot. The first filter includes a first inlet and outlet. At least the first inlet includes a first electrically controlled valve for selectively placing the first filter in fluid communication with the intake. The second filter includes a second inlet and outlet. At least the second inlet includes a second electrically controlled valve for selectively placing the second filter in fluid communication with the intake. A controller is configured to: (i) receive a water selection from a user, and (ii) configure the first and second valves based on the selection such that water flowing from the intake toward the spigot will enter any of the first and second filters corresponding to the selection and bypass any of the first and second filters that do not correspond to the selection.

A filter capable of automatically cutting off gas flow, including: a housing (1) with a cavity, a filter element (2) disposed in the cavity, a blocking mechanism disposed in the flow channel (13), and an unblocking member (23). The housing is provided with an inlet end (11) and an outlet end (12). The filter element (2) is provided with a first chamber (21). A second chamber (23) is formed between the filter element (2) and the housing (1), and a flow channel (13) is disposed between the first chamber (21) and the inlet end (11). The blocking mechanism has an unblocking state in which the blocking mechanism is cooperated with the unblocking member (23) to allow a gas flow to flow out of the flow channel (13), and a blocking state in which the blocking mechanism prevents the gas flow from flowing out of the flow channel (13).

The present disclosure belongs to the technical field of water treatment valve bodies, so as to solve the technical problem that an effective area of a water inlet and outlet hole inside a valve body cannot be simply and effectively reach an effective area of a water inlet and outlet pipe orifice outside the valve body. Based on this, a multifunctional water treatment filter valve is provided, including a valve body, a movable valve plate, a fixed valve plate, and a driving device. The fixed valve plate is fixedly mounted in the valve body; the movable valve plate and the fixed valve plate are in rotatable fit in the valve body; and a side wall of the valve body is provided with a water inlet, a water outlet, and a drainage opening.

An apparatus for transferring a liquid includes a conduit, a strainer housing, and a flow control reversing valve. The conduit has an inlet, an outlet, and a centerline extending from a first end to a second end. The strainer housing houses a strainer basket and has an inlet, an outlet, and a centerline extending from a first end to a second end. The flow control reversing valve has a valve body and a valve member. The valve body has a centerline extending from a front side to a rear side. The valve member is movable between a first position wherein liquid flows from a first port to a second port, and a second position wherein liquid flows from the second port to the first port. Each of the longitudinal centerlines of the conduit, the strainer housing, and the flow control reversing valve is substantially vertically aligned with one another.
