20090194061 | Oil Module Comprising An Integrated Cooling Water Channel - The invention relates to an oil module of a water-cooled internal combustion engine, comprising an oil filter, oil and water channels, a water pump and a thermostatic valve which opens various temperature-dependent water circuits. One water channel starts behind the thermostatic valve in the direction of flow and leads to the suction side of the water pump inside the oil module. The oil module has a housing to which at least one additional functional component is connected. The water channel extends along two sides of the housing which are oriented at an angle in relation to each other, both sides of said channel respectively opening on both sides on at least one sub-section of their length onto the surface of the housing and being closed, respectively by means of a cover to form a channel cross-section that is closed on all sides. | 08-06-2009 |
20090314697 | Liquid Filter With A Non-Return Valve In The Filtered Side Flow Channel - Disclosed is a liquid filter for an internal combustion engine. The filter has a housing, a removable cover for closing the housing, and a replaceable filter insert that has a filter surface through which liquid can flow. The filter surface defines a boundary between a flow channel on the filtered side and a flow channel on the unfiltered side of the filter. A non-return valve allows the liquid to flow through the filter at pressure conditions that prevail when the engine is running. When the engine is shut off, the non-return valve prevents flow of liquid through the filter, thereby holding within the filter housing the liquid that was in the filter when the engine was shut off. The non-return valve is placed in the flow channel on the filtered side. | 12-24-2009 |
20120267293 | LIQUID FILTER - A liquid filter including a filter housing, a ring filter insert and a cover. The housing bottom contains an outlet for emptying the housing when the filter insert is removed. The filter insert includes a filter material body surrounded by front panels. A blocking element for the outlet is arranged on one front panel, and positioning elements are provided on the filter insert and on the housing. The positioning elements include an inclined plane and an engaging radially protruding nose. The inclined plane is arranged on one and the nose is arranged on the other of the filter housing part and the ring filter insert. When the ring filter insert is rotated relative to the filter housing, the inclined plane and the nose are moved in relation to each other such that they slide along each other and engage the blocking element with the outlet. | 10-25-2012 |
20130228503 | Fluid filter with replaceable filter insert - A fluid filter comprising a housing, a releasable cover and a replaceable filter having a filter body and two end plates. The filter is placed on a housing standpipe which has on its free side, facing the cover, an axially displaceable endpiece. The endpiece is preloaded in the expulsion direction and in that position is blocked by a locking system against insertion which prevents the cover from connecting with the housing. An unlocking device guided by the filter unlocks the locking system and allows insertion of the endpiece. The locking system is formed by locking tabs which are radially movable, and each have a locking face facing in the axial direction. The tabs are preloaded in the locking direction and each lock the endpiece in its expelled position against axial insertion relative to the standpipe. The tabs can be radially moved into their unlocking position by the unlocking device. | 09-05-2013 |
20130270162 | Liquid filter having a filter bypass valve and filter insert therefor - Liquid filters comprising a housing having a removable cover, a liquid inlet, an outlet, a replaceable hollow cylindrical filter material insert, and a filter bypass valve comprising a valve seat arranged on the filter insert and a valve body that interacts with the valve seat and is biased in the closing direction. Two radially spaced closed sealing contours are provided between the valve seat and the valve body. At least one bypass channel, connecting the unfiltered and filtered side of the filter while bypassing the filter insert, passes through the valve seat between the sealing contours. The valve body is movably guided in the housing on a housing part, the two sealing contours are offset from each other in the axial direction, and the valve body has a corresponding conical or tapered or dome-like shape in the sealing area of the valve body that interacts with the sealing contours. | 10-17-2013 |
20130327429 | Bypass Valve, Device Comprising Bypass Valve, and Filter Insert of the Device - A bypass valve having an adjustable flow resistance for a device through which a fluid medium flows. The valve includes a seat and a body which is biased closed, and which is movable in the opening direction by a fluid medium pressure difference between the inflow and the outflow side of the valve when the pressure difference exceeds a threshold. A bypass flow path connects the inflow side to the outflow side through the seat. The bypass valve includes a screen disposed in the bypass flow path. The valve body has two different open positions that depend on the fluid medium pressure difference. The entire cross-section of the bypass flow path is covered by the screen in a first valve body open position with a lower pressure difference, and a screen-free bypass flow path cross-section is exposed in a second valve body open position with a greater pressure difference. | 12-12-2013 |
20140183116 | Liquid Filter with an Eccentric Liquid Discharge Channel - A liquid filter with a replaceable filter insert and a housing having a raw liquid inlet, a central clean liquid outlet, and an eccentric liquid discharge channel. A standpipe extends above the liquid outlet and receives the insert. The insert has an eccentric closing pin. A first positioning arrangement is arranged on the clean liquid outlet and a lower end region of the standpipe so that, when the standpipe is plugged into the clean liquid outlet, the standpipe is guided into a particular position relative to the filter housing. A second positioning arrangement is arranged on the standpipe and the insert so that, when the insert is plugged onto the standpipe, it is guided into a particular position relative to the standpipe. The positioning arrangements are matched to one another so that the closing pin on the insert enters into engagement with the discharge channel in the filter housing. | 07-03-2014 |
20140366494 | Filter with a replaceable filter insert - A fluid filter with a housing, a releasable cover, and a replaceable filter having a filter body and two end discs. The filter is plugged onto a housing pipe and a locking ring is guided on the pipe, preloaded in a push-out direction. The locking ring is locked in a pushed-out position by a locking device. An unlocking device guided by the filter unlocks the locking device when the filter is pushed onto the pipe and enables the locking ring and the filter to be pushed in. When the filter is fitted into the housing, a seal on the end disc or locking ring interacts with a housing sealing surface to separate an untreated filter side from a clean side. When the locking ring is in the pushed-out position and the filter bears against the locking ring, the seal is held away from the sealing surface of the housing. | 12-18-2014 |
