Technologies are generally described for a two-piece filter assembly for centrifugal pump assemblies. A filter portion optionally made from recyclable material may receive contaminated oil from the oil path, through the filter, and provide the filtered oil back to the sump. The filtered oil is then reclaimed by the oil ring from the sump to lubricate the bearings. The filter portion may be removable from the plug portion and the plug portion may be placed back onto the pump assembly with a new filter portion. In some examples, moisture absorbing beads are placed inside the filter portion to remove moisture from the filtered oil.

The invention relates to a liquid filter (6, 12), preferably a fuel filter, for a vehicle, said filter comprising a filter head (36) delimiting an inlet port (19) and an outlet port (21), a filter housing (30) which is to be screwed below the filter head (36) and which contains a filter element (32) centred on a central axis (X38), said filter element including a filter medium (38), a top end plate (42) and a bottom end plate (40). The filter housing (30) delimits a first volume for receiving a flow of liquid to be filtered, said first volume being delimited radially around the filter medium (38) and communicating with the inlet port (19) and a second volume for receiving a flow of filtered liquid, said second volume being delimited radially inside the filter medium (38) and communicating with the outlet port (21). The filter head (36) includes an anti-leakage valve (50) comprising a closing element (52) that is movable between a closed position in which it closes off the inlet port (19) and an open position in which the liquid can flow through the inlet port (19) and the filter (6, 12) further includes a pin (54) that is fitted on the filter element (32) and that is configured to penetrate inside the inlet port (19) so as to move the closing element (52) from the closed position to the open position.

A filter cartridge includes a removable filter. The filter cartridge includes housing that connects to a manifold at one end and has a removable cover at another end. The removable cover is held onto the housing by a removable connector. When one desires to change the filter, the cartridge is disconnected from the manifold, the removable connector is removed, then the removable cover is removed, and then the removable filter is replaced. Next, the removable cover is put back on, then the connector is connected, and the cartridge is reconnected to the manifold.

A water filter assembly for a refrigeration appliance contains an inlet connection, a filter head, on which a water filter can be mounted, a non-return valve and an outlet connection. The non-return valve is connected to the water filter by way of a hose. The hose can be attached to a connection of the filter head which is already available to feed or drain water, without adjustments to the filter head being required for this purpose.

The invention relates to a method for removing a chemical substance from human excreta, such as faeces and urine, comprising the following steps of: providing a toilet for a person from whose excreta the chemical substance must be removed; releasably connecting a filtering device to the toilet, wherein the filtering device comprises at least one removable cartridge with a filter; transporting the excreta by means of a transport screw from the toilet toward the filter in the cartridge, wherein pressure is exerted on the excreta by means of a plunger; filtering the chemical substance out of the excreta in situ using the filtering device; periodically replacing the at least one cartridge; and processing the replaced cartridge. The invention also relates to a filtering device for application in this method, and a cartridge for use in such a filtering device.

An axial extension part is proposed which makes it possible to use a filter cartridge (25) of larger axial dimensions than a standard filter cartridge for which the axial depth of a hollow housing (11) of a casing (10) of a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) device has been provided. This makes it possible to have different filtration characteristics without having to modify the casing. The larger filter cartridge (25) can be inserted into the extension part when this part is mounted in the housing (11) of the casing (10). The cartridge is sealed therein when the sealing cap (21) is put in place to close the opening at the rear end of the part.

A filter cartridge has media construction, a housing, and a first end construction. The first end constructions includes an outer radial wall with circumferentially spaced connecting sections; each connecting section having a plurality of helical profiles extending at a helix angle. The filter cartridge is removably attached to a filter head, which has mating connecting segments. A bowl cartridge assembly is also provided including connecting sections with a plurality of helical profiles.

Water filter with self-rinsing capability that includes filter housing, hollow cartridge core, and mesh filter. The filter housing includes a hollow housing with top and drain openings, a top cover with inlet and outlet ports, a one-way pressure valve, and a drain tap that includes a rod, an opening and closing knob that is connected to the rod, and an opening and closing barrier with passageway that is connected to the rod. The cartridge comprises of a tube with inlet and outlet passageways, and spray pipes with spray nozzles, and enables water to flows from the tube into the spray pipes and outside into the filter housing through the nozzles. The mesh filter has a shape of a hollow cylinder that is worn on the tube in a gap between the tube and the spray pipes.

Embodiments are directed to filtration container assemblies and methods of using the same. A filtration container assembly includes an outer container and a plunging assembly. The plunging assembly includes an inner sleeve, a filtration assembly, and a cap assembly having a pressing surface. When the outer container is at least partially filled with liquid, a user can exert pressure on the pressing surface of the plunging assembly to nest the plunging assembly within the outer container, using positive pressure to displace the liquid in the outer container through the filtration assembly into the inner sleeve. In some embodiments, at least a portion of a handle for the filtration container assembly may be a part of the pressing surface.

A water filter is provided. The water filter includes a filtration material and a filter housing spaced for accommodating at least a portion of the filtration material therein. The water filter also includes a housing cap coupled to an upper end of the filter housing for enclosing the filtration material within the water filter. The housing cap includes an upper portion, a lower portion, and a channel formed through the upper portion and the lower portion. The water filter also includes an interface adapter accommodated in the channel, wherein the interface adapter includes a side wall vertically extending from an upper surface of the interface adapter and partially around a perimeter of the upper surface, and a projection vertically extending from the upper surface, wherein the projection is integrally formed with the upper surface and a portion of the side wall.
