  • Patent number: 10399020
    Abstract: A filter element (10) for a liquid medium such as fuel, having a filter medium (16) which is arranged in an annular manner and a venting arrangement (30), having a first vent channel (60), connected at the intake end to the pre-filtration side (26) of the filter element (10), a vent tube (32) which extends away from the upper end plate (12) and which has at one end an inlet opening (34) and at the other end an outlet opening (36) for fluidic connection of the vent tube (32) to a vent stub of a filter housing, or a vent tube portion for connection to a vent tube of a filter housing, which portion extends away from the upper end plate (12) axially in the direction of the lower end plate (14) and has an inlet opening (34) at one end.

  • Patent number: 10328369
    Abstract: A filter element (10) for a liquid medium, in particular fuel, having a first vent channel (60) connected at the intake end to the pre-filtration side (26) of the filter element (10), a second vent channel (66) connected at the intake end to the post-filtration side (28) of the filter element (10); and a vent tube (32) having has at one end an inlet opening (34) and at the other end an outlet opening for fluidic connection of the vent tube (32) to a vent stub of a filter housing, or a vent tube portion for connection to a vent tube of a filter housing.

  • Patent number: 8827084
    Abstract: A filter element for a liquid filter is arranged in the liquid filter housing that has at least two housing parts such that an inlet of the housing for liquid to be filtered is separated from an outlet of the housing for filtered liquid. The filter element has a filter medium provided with a terminal disk. The terminal disk has a seal support for an outer radial annular seal that is to be clamped in a clamping area between the housing parts that are separable from each other. The seal support of the filter element has axially at least a base member and a cover member. The base member is fixedly connected to the terminal disk. The cover member is attached to the terminal disk, to the base member, or to terminal disk and base member. The annular seal is positioned between base member and cover member.

  • Patent number: 8245698
    Abstract: A valve for controlling volume flows of fuel supply systems of internal combustion engines has a conduit having an inlet and an outlet defining a flow direction. A bypass opening is provided in the conduit. A sleeve is slidably arranged in the conduit and covers in one position the bypass opening completely. The sleeve has an axial through bore that connects the inlet and the outlet. An elastic element that is arranged in the conduit and exerts onto the sleeve a force that is directed toward the inlet. A counterforce is generated by the flow resistance of the sleeve that counteracts the force of the elastic element.
