A filter element has a filter medium arranged between first and second end disks. The first end disk has a positioning and sealing section having external positioning recesses for engaging disturbance geometries of a filter housing with form fit to position the filter element circumferentially in the filter housing. The positioning and sealing section has an inner interface for radially sealing and axially positioning the filter element relative to the filter housing. The interface, viewed along a longitudinal direction from first toward second end disk, extends farther into the positioning and sealing section than the positioning recesses. The interface has an annular seal groove surrounding a symmetry axis of the filter element and configured to engage a seal rib of the filter housing with form fit for axial positioning relative to the filter housing. A filter system is provided with such a filter element in its filter housing.

A filtration device may include an adapter, a filter element, and a housing. The adapter may include a collar having an upper rim and a lower rim, a plurality of locking tabs extending from the upper rim, and a plurality of snap members extending from the lower rim. The filter element may include a casing and a plurality of receptacles connected to and arranged around a first outer surface of the casing. The plurality of receptacles are configured to receive the plurality of locking tabs. The housing, which is configured to receive the filter element, includes a shell and a plurality of ramp members that are connected to a second outer surface of the shell. The plurality of ramp members are configure to engage the plurality of snap members.

An immersion cooling system for electronic equipment including a tank adapted to hold a liquid heat transfer fluid into which the electronic equipment can be immersed and a filter assembly(ies) having a filter housing with an inlet and an outlet and containing a filter cartridge. In some embodiments the filter assembly(ies) is adapted to be located in the heat transfer fluid in the tank, such that a cross-sectional area of the filter housing inlet is greater than a cross-sectional area of the filter housing outlet, the filter housing inlet is substantially vertically oriented on a side of the filter housing, the filter cartridge is positioned within the filter housing at an inclined angle relative to the filter housing inlet, and the filter housing outlet is disposed adjacent to a top of the housing. Advantageously, heat generated by the immersed electronic equipment produces a convective flow of heat transfer fluid through the filter housing.

An air cleaner assembly is disclosed, along with related methods. In one aspect, the air cleaner assembly has a housing including a housing body and a removable cover that together define an interior volume for holding a filter cartridge. The housing body can include a first plurality of lugs, wherein each of the first plurality of lugs has a first engagement surface disposed at a first angle that is oblique to a rotational plane of the cover. A second plurality of lugs can be provided on the cover, wherein each of the second plurality of lugs has a second engagement surface disposed at the first angle. A lock mechanism can also be provided that is disposed on the cover, wherein the lock mechanism includes a lock member axially movable between a locked position and an unlocked position to selectively secure the cover to the housing body.

Air cleaner assemblies, components therefor, and features thereof are described. Also described are methods of assembly and use. In depicted examples, the air cleaner assemblies and components optionally use advantageous housing seal features. Methods of assembly and use are described.

Various example embodiments relate to a filtration system. The filtration system comprises a housing having a first housing end and a second housing end. The housing defines a central compartment therein. The housing comprises a first alignment portion disposed on the first housing end. The filtration system further comprises a filter element positioned within the central compartment of the housing. The filter element has a first filter end and a second filter end. The filter element comprises filter media and a second alignment portion disposed on the first filter end. The second alignment portion is complementary to the first alignment portion. The installation of the filter element within the housing causes the first alignment surface and the second alignment surface to align to provide for engagement of a radial seal between the filter element and the housing.

A filter device is provided with a filter housing and a housing cover closing off the filter housing. A filter element is disposed in the filter housing. The filter element has a clamping element that is resting with a clamping force on a first housing part that is provided on the filter housing or on the housing cover. The filter element further has a lever element that, in the mounted state of the filter element in the filter housing, is resting on a second housing part that is provided on the filter housing or on the housing cover and force-loads the clamping element against the first housing part. The clamping element and the lever element form a single part and are preferably provided on an end disk of the filter element.

Air cleaner assemblies are described and shown. A serviceable filter cartridge is positioned within a housing. A unique axial projection arrangement is positioned on the cartridge, and it can be used as part of a projection/receiver arrangement.

Improvements to filtration and vessels such as for filtration and coalescing of gas streams are shown. A filter element with a partial treated region and untreated region such as providing different surface energies or other filtration characteristics are provided. Various keying arrangements for compatibility and/or rotational locking are shown between the filtration vessel, a tubular coalescing baffle, and/or filter element. The tubular coalescing baffle also may include non-louvered pore structure, which provides for more even flow in a two stage type filtration vessel to prevent premature exiting and reduction of flow velocities along the second stage, and/or may additionally or alternatively include drainage apertures such as drain slot formed along a gravitational bottom or otherwise to facilitate additional drainage of coalesced liquid as opposed to letting such liquid be forced through fluid velocity toward the open end of the tubular baffle.

A filter cartridge and filter assembly using the filter cartridge is provided. The filter cartridge having a contoured end member to angularly orient and/or axially orient the filter cartridge, and particularly a seal thereof, relative to a filter housing. The filter housing is reconfigurable to allow it to be used in different locations having different spatial configurations.
