Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to filters, and more particularly, to a two stage filter element with a structure for removing air from fuel flow for use in a fuel supply system for a motor vehicle.
  • fuel supply systems may include one or more filter assemblies configured to remove water and contaminants from the fuel supply.
  • Filter assemblies may incorporate a filter cartridge with a housing that is disposed along with the filter element after a pre-determined period of use.
  • filter assemblies may employ a permanent housing with a cover that permits access to a removable filter element that is replaced at regular service intervals.
  • the filter assembly defines a fuel flow path routing fuel through filter media supported by the filter element before the fuel is delivered to sensitive engine systems.
  • Some filter assemblies incorporate structures to coalesce and separate water that is present in fuel from fuel that will be delivered to the engine. Separated water is accumulated and removed from the filter assembly.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un élément filtrant comportant un anneau d'un premier matériau filtrant disposé entre des capots d'extrémité supérieur et inférieur. Un tube central s'étend entre les capots d'extrémité supérieur et inférieur, radialement vers l'intérieur du premier matériau filtrant. Des trous dans le tube central, adjacents au capot d'extrémité supérieur, permettent le passage de fluide à travers le tube central vers un tube séparateur. Le tube séparateur contient un second matériau filtrant destiné à séparer l'eau du fluide vers un réservoir de fluide en dessous du capot d'extrémité inférieur. Un conduit décentré radialement, définissant un passage de fluide, s'étend d'en dessous du capot d'extrémité inférieur jusqu'au dessus du capot d'extrémité supérieur.
