  • Publication number: 20060266701
    Abstract: An apparatus, system and method to provide increasingly fine gradient density depth filtration of a fluid. The apparatus may include a melt-blown filtration assembly having varying densities of melt-blown microfilaments fabricated from acetal or other substantially dimensionally stable thermoplastic. The apparatus thus facilitates efficient filtration by providing a gradient density depth filtration system compatible with various fuels, coolants, and other forms of a fluid.

  • Publication number: 20050023210
    Abstract: A filter includes first and second axially spaced end caps having filter media extending axially between the end caps and extending in a closed-loop around a perimeter defining a hollow interior communicating with an axial flow opening through one of the end caps. One or more columns extend axially in the hollow interior between the end caps and are laterally spaced from the axial flow opening and have hollow sub-interiors for receiving one or more posts extending axially thereinto from a base for mounting the filter to the base in axial compression and with a wiper seal.
