Patent number: 11701606Abstract: Filter media and media packs that provide robust performance in high-speed rotating coalescer (HSRC) elements for crankcase ventilation systems are described. The fiber media is HSRC fiber media. As such, the filter media has a higher resistance to compressibility then traditional coalescer filter media, such as fiber media used in low-speed rotating coalescer arrangements or stationary coalescer arrangements.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2021Date of Patent: July 18, 2023Assignee: CUMMINS FILTRATION IP, INC.Inventors: Brian W.

Patent number: 11338229Abstract: Filtration systems having a normal filtration mode and an enhanced filtration mode are described. In some arrangements, the filtration system is an air filtration system having a primary air filter element, a pre-cleaner, and a pre-cleaner bypass valve. Based on feedback from an intake air quality sensor the bypass valve is either opened or closed to selectively route intake air through the pre-cleaner during sensed dirty air operating conditions (e.g., heavy dust or moisture concentrations). In other arrangements, the filtration system is a liquid filtration system (e.g., a fuel or oil filtration system) that has a main filter and a secondary filter. The filtration system selectively routes the liquid being filtered through the main filter, the secondary filter, or a combination thereof depending on a detected event or sensed characteristic of the liquid.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2020Date of Patent: May 24, 2022Assignee: CUMMINS FILTRATION IP, INC.Inventors: Yashpal Subedi, Dane P.

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.

Patent number: 10486096Abstract: An axial flow air filter system is described. The system includes an axial flow filter element having a filter media. The filter media includes an inlet face and an outlet face, the inlet face spaced apart from the outlet face. The axial flow filter element includes an upper support ring adjacent to the inlet face of the filter media. The upper support ring circumscribes the filter media and supports an upper seal. The upper seal forms a seal with a housing when the filter element is received in the housing. The axial flow filter element further includes a lower support ring adjacent to the outlet face of the filter media. The lower support ring circumscribes the filter media. In some arrangements, the lower support ring does not include a seal.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 2015Date of Patent: November 26, 2019Assignee: Cummins Filtration IP, Inc.Inventors: Scott W.
