  • Patent number: 11111889
    Abstract: A recirculation module for a fuel prefilter unit of a combustion engine has a temperature-controlled actuating element that transfers the recirculation module, based on a filter raw side feed temperature of the fuel, from a cold start state into a normal operating state and back. In cold start state, an engine return line from the combustion engine to the recirculation module is in fluid communication with a filter element raw side of the fuel prefilter unit and the engine return line is separated in regard to fluid communication from a tank return line of the combustion engine. In normal operating state, the engine return line is separated in regard to fluid communication from the filter element raw side and is in fluid communication with the tank return line. A check valve prevents return flow of fuel from the tank return line into the engine return line.

  • Patent number: 10702812
    Abstract: A filter device has a cup-shaped filter housing and a filter element disposed in the filter housing. A filter head is connectable to the filter housing and forms a cover for the filter housing. A spring element is provided that is acting on the filter element. The filter head has at least one first form-fit element. The filter housing has at least one second form-fit element for interacting with the at least one first form-fit element. The spring element is arranged such that the filter head and the filter housing for reaching a closed position, in which the at least one first form-fit element and the at least one second form-fit element engage each other, are movable relative to each other axially against the force of the spring element. The spring element clamps the filter element axially between filter head and filter housing in the closed position.
