Publication number: 20130206663Abstract: A fuel filter device is provided in which a filter assembly having filter layers of first multiple layers is provided in a fuel flow path extending from the interior of a fuel tank to fuel consumption means via a fuel pump, and the finest filter layer is disposed downstream-most in filter layers of second multiple layers forming at least part of the first multiple layers, wherein an aggregation-promoting part (24A) that promotes aggregation of dust in fuel by changing the flow direction or flow velocity of fuel is provided in the filter assembly (20A) so that aggregation of dust in fuel is promoted before the upstream side of at least the second finest filter layer (22A) of the filter layers (21A, 22A, 23A) among the second multiple layers. This enables the durability of the fuel filter device to be improved.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 8, 2011Publication date: August 15, 2013Applicant: HONDA MOTOR CO., LTD.Inventors: Atsushi Ito, Tsubasa Ishii, Hideaki Ando, Fujio Umebayashi, Junichi Toda, Keita Kinoshita, Hiroaki Oto

Patent number: 6942017Abstract: An intercooler has a case through which supercharging air passes, and a heat exchanger 4 mounted inside the case which allows heat exchange between the supercharging air and a cooling fluid. A frame body 15 is provided at the circumferential edges of air passage portions of the heat exchanger 4 on a supercharging air intake side and a supercharging air outlet side to reduce the gap between the heat exchanger and the inner wall of the case. The heat exchanger 4 has a pair of tanks 43 and 44, tubes communicating between the tanks, and a plurality of fins 46 set along the tubes, and assumes a structure that allows the supercharging air to pass through the heat exchanger a plurality of times by sequentially passing through blocks formed by dividing a heat exchanging unit 4A into a plurality of blocks with partitioning plates 15d.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 2002Date of Patent: September 13, 2005Assignees: Honda Giken Kogyo Kabushikikaisha, Zexel Valeo Climate Control CorporationInventors: Yoshitsugu Gokan, Fujio Umebayashi, Kazuhiko Tomoda, Kenji Okubo, Kouichi Takeshita, Kazuhiro Yamashita, Yoshihiro Sekiya
