  • Patent number: 11746882
    Abstract: A suction oil filter for a transmission or combustion engine including an oil filter housing made of plastic and having at least one suction channel that can be connected to a suction side of a suction pump and at least one return channel feeding into the suction channel for a pressurized oil flow returned by the suction pump. The return channel is provided with at least one nozzle in the region of the opening thereof into the suction channel, as well as at least one pressurized oil supply pipe which is linked to the return channel and can be connected to a pressure side of the suction pump, and which is connected to the oil filter housing via at least one contour connection.

  • Patent number: 9845802
    Abstract: An intake charged pump for pumping liquid and which has an intake duct that extends to the suction area of the pump. The pump has a duct through which a jet stream flows to the suction area. A nozzle arrangement in the intake duct accelerates the liquid which is returned via the jet stream and supports the suction of a suction stream of the liquid from a storage container. A nozzle of the nozzle arrangement leads into the mixing chamber at an acute angle in a such way that the jet stream, leaving the nozzle, creates a common mixing stream with the suction stream from the storage container, and through which partial streams having essentially the same pressure and energy content, can be delivered to the front and back suction pockets of the double chamber pump.

  • Publication number: 20140158594
    Abstract: An oil filter of a transmission for motor vehicles has one filter housing, at least one inlet opening for unfiltered oil, at least one outlet opening for filtered oil. A filter medium is arranged in the oil flow between the at least one inlet opening and the at least one outlet opening. The filter housing is formed from two shells connected with one another, a lower shell and an upper shell, and features a second outlet opening.
