The filter head can be attached to two or more filters to filter vehicle fluid, and provide a variety of optional arrangements for coupling inlet and outlet hoses. A plurality of inlets and outlets can be disposed on the filter head at different sides of the filter head. A pair of filter headers can be disposed on a first side to receive filter. A first inlet and outlet can be disposed on a second side, and a second inlet and outlet can be disposed on a third side. Respective inlet are fluidly coupled with an inlet passage in the head, which is fluidly coupled with an intake portion of the filter headers. Respective outlets are fluidly coupled with an outlet passage in the head, which is fluidly coupled with an outflow portion of the filter headers.
MULTI-POSITION FILTER
An apparatus is disclosed for a multi-position water filter. An example water filter includes a housing defining an internal cavity, the housing comprising a head including an inlet and an outlet, and a foot positioned opposite the head. The water filter also includes an inner filter assembly positioned in the internal cavity, the inner filter assembly comprising a head cap fluidly connected to the outlet, a foot cap, a filter media connected to the head cap and the foot cap, and an internal tube positioned in the filter media, wherein the internal cavity includes a radially oriented orifice configured to enable air to pass through, but prevent water from passing through.
Cartridge for water treatment for a device for water treatment, a head of a device for water treatment and a device for water treatment comprising such a cartridge and such a head
A water-treatment cartridge (3) for a water-treatment device, wherein the water-treatment device comprises a head with a port for feeding water for treatment to the cartridge and a port for discharging water from the cartridge (3) after treatment. The water-treatment cartridge (3) according to the invention comprises an inlet channel for feeding water for treatment to the cartridge (3) for making a fluid communication with the port of the head for feeding water for treatment to the water-treatment cartridge (3), and an outlet channel for discharging water after treatment from the water- treatment cartridge (3) for making a fluid communication with the port for discharging water after treatment from the water-treatment cartridge (3), at least one water-treatment bed, which the at least one water-treatment bed is in a fluid communication with the inlet channel for feeding water for treatment and with the outlet channel for discharging water after treatment. The water-treatment cartridge (3) is characterized in that it comprises orientating means (10) configured to make a flow of water for treatment from the port of the head for feeding water for treatment with the inlet channel, when the water-treatment cartridge (3) is installed in the head of the water-treatment device. The invention also relates to a head of a water- treatment device for use with a water-treatment cartridge (3). In addition, the invention relates to a water-treatment device comprising a head and a water-treatment cartridge (3).
Fuel filter assembly
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.
Water filter system head with interchangeable inlet and outlet connections
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.
Refrigerator that guides residual water from a filter mounting portion to another filter mounting portion
Disclosed herein is a refrigerator, and more particularly, to a refrigerator including a water supply system. The refrigerator includes a main body including a storage compartment, and a water supply assembly disposed in the storage compartment. The water supply assembly includes a first filter mounting portion provided to allow a first filter to be mounted thereon, and a second filter mounting portion provided to allow a second filter to be mounted thereon, and including a residual water guide configured to guide residual water in the second filter mounting portion to the first filter mounting portion.
FILTER CARTRIDGE WITH ENGAGEMENT MEMBERS
A filter cartridge is for a vehicle fluid filter group that includes a filter body and cartridge engagement members in the filter cartridge and body engagement members in the filter body. The cartridge engagement members and body engagement members are configurable by mutual axial movement between an engagement configuration and a disengagement configuration. The cartridge filter includes an end plate with the cartridge engagement members arranged around the cartridge axis. The cartridge engagement members include two blocking groups, each blocking group including a blocking element. Each blocking element includes a stem and a tooth laterally projecting from the stem and defining an engagement undercut. In the blocking configuration, the tooth is in a housing region of the body engagement members, and an engagement projection is housed in the undercut. In axial movements, each stem yields elastically radially and/or laterally upon action of the engagement projection on the tooth.
Filter element with torsion lock and/or sliding piston, assembly and methods
A filtration assembly is provided that comprises a filter cartridge and a filter head, that has particular application for liquid filtration, such as engine fuel filtration in an embodiment. The filter cartridge can include a thread and a torsion lock detent to provide twist and lock mounting to the filter head. Separately, the filter cartridge can include a slidable piston that can become pressurized by application of liquid pressure during operation that can apply an axial force to the filter head to load the thread and increase threaded attachment rigidity and/or the natural frequency of the filter cartridge to a more desirable level, and thereby limit vibrational impacts.
FILTER DEVICE
The present application discloses a filter device, including a housing, a primary filter body, and a secondary filter body. The housing is formed with a first channel for fuel to flow in. The primary filter body includes a support fence, a particulate filter medium, and end covers. The secondary filter body is formed with a second channel for the fuel to flow out from the secondary filter body and is configured to block water and allow the fuel to pass. The filter device in the present invention can make it possible to arrange more particulate filter media in a limited space, thereby improving the filtration capacity of a filter element per unit volume.
TRANSMISSION OIL FILTER ASSEMBLY
A transmission filter includes two outlets. One outlet, adapted to feed an engine-driven pump, protrudes diagonally from the front of the filter. The first outlet is sealed to the inlet of the engine-driven pump by a radial seal. The second outlet is arranged in a rear extension and is sealed to the inlet of an electric pump by a compression seal. The differing types of seals and relative orientations of the outlets make the assembly less sensitive to dimension variation due to production and assembly tolerances. The relative locations of the outlets also mitigate any flow interactions between the pumps when both operate simultaneously.
