Patent number: 11471803Abstract: A fuel water separator filter is configured as a filter-in-filter construction with multiple water separating layers to separate water from the fuel. The fuel water separator filter is configured for use on a suction side of a fuel pump, and includes a neck with a radially outward facing seal that in use seals with the filter housing. The filter housing is formed with an isolated water sump that in use is isolated from water that is stripped from the fuel by the first stage of the outer filter.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2020Date of Patent: October 18, 2022Assignee: CUMMINS FILTRATION IP, INC.Inventors: Zemin Jiang, Amit Shashikant Wankhede, Sonali Dattatraya Bisurkar, Jayant Singh, Melvin Rice, Manikandan Annamalai

Patent number: 11318403Abstract: An automatic drain device is configured for use with a fuel water separator filter system. The automatic drain device includes a solenoid, a water-in-fuel sensor, and a controller configured to operate the automatic drain device by activating the solenoid in response to a signal from the water-in-fuel sensor. The automatic drain device may be utilized with suction side and pressure side fuel water separator filter systems. The automatic drain device operates independently of any user input.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2016Date of Patent: May 3, 2022Assignee: CUMMINS FILTRATION IP, INC.Inventors: Amit Shashikant Wankhede, Peter K. Herman, Arun P. Janakiraman, Christopher E. Holm, Prashant Wani, Abhijit Shimpi

Patent number: 11213773Abstract: Systems and methods for determining whether an authorized or genuine filter element is installed in a filtration system are described. The authorized filter determination may be based on radio frequency identification (“RFID”) technology. RFID readers with antennas in the monitored filter systems read the RFID tag information from the installed filter elements and feed any detected information into the filter monitoring system. The filter monitoring system or a remote diagnostic system analyzes the returned data (or absence thereof) to determine if a genuine (i.e., authorized, OEM approved, etc.) filter element is installed or not.Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 2018Date of Patent: January 4, 2022Assignee: CUMMINS FILTRATION IP, INC.Inventors: Joseph O. Okoro, Bharadwaj R. Prabhala, Adaeze O. M. Okoye, Sonal Laxman Chirme, Abhijit Shimpi, Abhijeet Vaidya, Mahesh Suresh Chindarkar, Amit Shashikant Wankhede, J. Stephen Wills, Barry M. Verdegan

Publication number: 20200368652Abstract: A filter system including a designated filter cartridge having a geometric projection, a flow restriction valve that controls fluid flow out of the filter system, and a priming pump configured to prime the filter. The flow restriction valve includes an opening keyed to the geometric projection such that the geometric projection engages the opening and actuates the flow restriction valve. The flow restriction valve includes at least one fluid flow check valve configured to allow the priming pump to prime the filter system.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 11, 2020Publication date: November 26, 2020Applicant: Cummins Filtration IP, Inc.Inventors: Shubha Agrawal, Hariprasad Mohan Bhalerao, Amit Shashikant Wankhede

Patent number: 10258908Abstract: A filter including a shell with at least one viewing region, a translucent bowl that fits and is installable within the shell, and an attachment mechanism. The bowl is positionable within the shell such that at least a portion of the bowl is visible through the viewing region. The attachment mechanism securely attaches the bowl the shell together and prevents at least one of vertical and rotational movement between the bowl and the shell. The shell and the bowl are not threaded to each other.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 2015Date of Patent: April 16, 2019Assignee: Cummons Filtration IP, Inc.Inventors: Shubha Agrawal, Hariprasad Mohan Bhalerao, Amit Shashikant Wankhede, Ajay D.
