Publication number: 20190046911Abstract: Referring to the figures generally, rotating filter cartridges (e.g., a rotating coalescers) for a rotating filtration system (e.g., rotating coalescer crankcase ventilation systems) are described. The described filter cartridges use mechanically created seals to seal the filter media to the endcaps of the filter cartridges. Accordingly, the described filter cartridges eliminate the need to use a potting or embedding material during manufacturing of the filter cartridge, thereby eliminating the costs and potential manufacturing defects associated with the potting or embedding material and process.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 20, 2016Publication date: February 14, 2019Applicant: Cummins Filtration IP, Inc.Inventors: Himani Deshpande, Christopher E.

Patent number: 10201771Abstract: A filtration system is described. The filtration system includes a filter housing having a central tube and a replaceable filter element. The central tube includes a gasket that plugs a passage from the dirty side of the filter element to the clean side of the filter element when the filter element is installed in an operational position. The gasket includes an integrated drain extending through the gasket. The gasket is integrated into the central tube and stays in place when the filter element is removed (e.g., during replacement of the filter element). The removal of the filter element opens the drain to allow for the draining of the fluid from the housing to the tank. The gasket is reusable and does not need to be replaced with each filter element replacement.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2015Date of Patent: February 12, 2019Assignee: CUMMINS FILTRATION IP, INC.Inventors: Gérard Malgorn, Stéphane Simon, Stéphane Le Guyader, Wassem Abdalla

Publication number: 20180185776Abstract: A filter cartridge endplate (12) is described herein that has an integrated flow structure. For example, the integrated flow structure has concentric flow portions disposed at a center of the endplate (12), where a separator (10) is built into the endplate (12) that separates fluid flow. The endplate (12) includes a plate with a major surface, it separator (10) that protrudes axially away from the major surface. The separator (10) includes a first flow portion (14) and a second flow portion (16), where the first flow portion (14) is disposed radially inward relative to the second flow portion (16). The first flow portion (14) includes a channel (22) and the second flow portion includes a channel (24). The respective channels (22,24) are configured to allow axial fluid flow relative to the plate, and configured to allow fluid flow that is localized toward the center of the plate (12).Type: ApplicationFiled: March 1, 2018Publication date: July 5, 2018Applicant: Cummins Filtration IP Inc.Inventors: Penghua Hou, Yiyun Zhang, Ping Shen, Kevin C.

Patent number: 9884275Abstract: A spin-on filter that eliminates the use of a nut plate and reduces the number of separate components. Instead, the spin-on filter utilizes the end plate of the filtercartridge to perform a number of functions, including closing the open end of the filter shell, sealing between the dirty and clean fluid sides, sealing between the filter and the mounting head to prevent leakage outside the filter to environment, attaching the filter cartridge to the shell, and sealing the end of the filter media.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2016Date of Patent: February 6, 2018Assignee: Cummins Filtration IP, Inc.Inventors: Anil I.

Publication number: 20170304750Abstract: A Spin-on filter assembly that can be used with both suction-side and pressure-side filtration systems is described. The filter assembly screws onto a filter mounting head. The filter mounting head is part of a filtration system that provides fluid to be filtered to the filter assembly. The filter assembly filters the fluid to be filtered through a filter media contained within the filter assembly and provides the filtered fluid back to the filter mounting head. The filter assembly includes an upper seal that seals the clean side of the filter media from the dirty side of the filter media when the filter assembly is connected to the filter mounting head in an installed position. The upper seal includes a sealing ridge that has an elongated shape and is flexible such that the filter assembly can be used on both pressure-side and suction side applications in filtration systems.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 8, 2015Publication date: October 26, 2017Applicant: Cummins Filtration IP, Inc.Inventors: Gérard Malgorn, Gauthier Mestdag, Pierrick Bonzi, Arnaud Le Ven, Stéphane Simon, Loïck Menez
