Abstract: A filter device has a filter element (3) in a filter housing (1). Corresponding threads (23, 33) form a screw connection between a housing cover (5) of the filter housing (1) and the filter element (3). A seal (29, 35) is between the filter element (3) and the housing cover (5). The screw connection is formed by threads (33) on a connecting pipe piece (31) that is part of an end cap (17) of the filter element (3) and that extends into the inner filter cavity (22) and by the threads (23) of the housing cover (5). The housing cover threads (23) are on a receiving pipe piece (21) formed by a separate component attached to the housing cover (5).

Abstract: A filter device has a filter housing (1) with a filter head (3), a filter pot (7) and a removable housing cover part (51) and has a filter element (13) separating a non-filtrate side (15) from a filtrate side (17) in the housing. A bypass valve device has a valve closure element (65) preloaded by a closing spring (69) into a closed position in which it bears against a valve seat part (74). If the filter element (13) is blocked, the closure element opens up a fluid path from the non-filtrate side (15) to the filtrate side (17), by passing the filter element (13). The valve closure element (65) and the closing spring (69) are on the cover part (51). The valve seat part (74) is on an element cap (43) of the filter element (13). The element cap has a receiving part (45) forming an enclosure for that end of the filter material (27) of the filter element (13) facing toward the cover part (51).

By the switching device, a fluid connection between the fluid input (19) and fluid output (13) can be selectively established via the first filter element (43) or the second filter element (3). One of the filter elements is integrated into the interior of the connection member (1) as an auxiliary filter (43).

Abstract: A filter device, in particular for fluids polluted with admixtures of water, such as diesel oil, includes a filter housing (1) having a fluid inlet (43), a fluid outlet (44) and a filter element (9).

A fluid-conveying system (41) forms fluid paths separated from each other.

Abstract: A filter apparatus includes a filter housing having a filter head (3) and a filter bowl (7). The housing accommodates a filter element that separates a non-filtrate side (15) from a filtrate side (17). A differential pressure measurement device (59) indicates at least a blockage of the filter element during filtration operation and has a measurement piston (91) that is guided in a measurement housing (88) in a longitudinally displaceable manner. An end face (90) of that piston is subjected to the instantaneous pressure of the non-filtrate side (15). The opposite end face of the piston is subjected to the instantaneous pressure of the filtrate side (17). Each instantaneous pressure passes into the measurement housing (88) via at least one conduit (57, 61, 65, 89). At least a section (57, 61) of the conduit is arranged in an element cap (43) of the filter element.

Abstract: A filter device includes a filter element (3), through which a fluid to be purified can flow at a determinable fluid operating pressure, and which can be accommodated in a housing (1). The fluid pressure prevailing at the respective filter element (3) may exhibit pressure increases or pressure peaks, which are damaging to the filter element (3), and in particular to its filter material (9), and which can be reduced and/or smoothened by a compensation device acting directly on the filter element (3) and having a flexible compensation element (29) that enables the volume of the fluid chamber of the housing (1) to be increased in accordance with a pressure peak or pressure increase. The flexible compensation element (29) is arranged between the outer side of the filter material (9) of the filter element (3) and the adjacent inner wall of the housing (1).

Abstract: An assembly forms a seal between components (11, 33) having sealing zones (37,51). The sealing zones face each other in a functional position of the components. A sealing element (43, 57) is on the sealing zone (37, 51) of one component (11, 33). A sealing surface (51) is on the sealing zone (37, 51) of the other component (11, 33) to form a radial seal. The components (11, 33) can be brought into the functional position by a relative movement in the axial direction. The sealing element (43, 57) sealingly interacts with the sealing surface (51) in the functional position. A third component (61) associated with an actuating part (62) acts on the sealing element (43;57) in the functional position of the components (11, 33) to deform the element to increase the sealing force.

Abstract: A filter medium for cleaning fluids includes a filter layer (9) formed from a filter material in a pleated web with a longitudinal direction (X) and a transverse direction (Y). A plastic grid (10) forms a support layer, bears against the filter layer (9) and has linear elements (12, 14) delimiting through openings (16) between them. Two groups of linear elements (12, 14) extend approximately at right angles to one another and delimit rectangular through openings (16).

Abstract: A filter device with a filter body (1) has a filter bowl (3) and a filter head (5) formed by a removable locking piece of the filter bowl (3). The filter head (5) has a connection point (15) for an unfiltrate flow and a connection point (27) for discharging a filtrate flow. A filter element (7) containing filter material (11) is connected between the connection points (15, 27) and is disposed inside the filter bowl (3) for the filtration of the unfiltrate, specifically for particle contamination. A flow directing device (33) directs the unfiltrate flow to the surface sections of the filter material (11) of the filter element (7) to provide a filtering action when the device is in operation. The flow directing device is a molded component (33) that belongs to the filter head (5) and to which a fluid flow is applied.
