  • Patent number: 9394863
    Abstract: An integrated vacuum port module includes a base 12 and a mounting feature secured to the base and operable to form an airtight connection with a housing 14. A first tubular conduit 28 is secured to the base 12 forming a flow passage extending through the base 12 from an exterior to interior side. A second tubular similarly secured to the base 12 forming a flow passage extending through the base 12. A flow port, pressure sensing port or exhaust port 22 is fluidically connected to and secured to at least one of the tubular conduits 28,30 and arranged within the housing 14.

  • Publication number: 20160030869
    Abstract: A filter element has a filter media hollow body with a hollow interior circumferentially enclosing an outflow passage. A second filter as a bypass filter element is arranged at or integrated into the end cap the filter element. The bypass filter element is configured as an ambient airflow restriction device providing a significantly higher pressure drop relative to the in the filter media of the filter element, the significantly higher pressure drop is operable to limit or prevent airflow through the auxiliary inflow path. When the primary inflow path is obstructed, the ambient airflow restriction device operates to provide auxiliary airflow into the outflow passage, bypassing filtering of the filter media hollow body of the filter element.
