  • Publication number: 20160144298
    Abstract: A spin-on filter for a filter device with a housing pot in which a filter element is arranged, a connecting body arranged at the housing port end face having a central opening and a fluid opening radially outwardly offset from central opening. A filter-side coupling part of a coupling device detachably couples the spin-on filter to a filter head. The coupling part can be detachably coupled to a connector of a head-side coupling part of the filter head by way of a plug-in and/or rotational movement with respect to a coupling axis. A inner seal is provided having a sealing surface which extends around the periphery of a centric fluid channel and is axially offset in relation to the filter-side coupling part toward the filter element. The circumferential sealing surface of the filter head-side fluid connector sealingly contacts to separate the dirty and clean sides.

  • Patent number: 8361317
    Abstract: A filter device for a motor vehicle has a filter element with a porous ceramic support body provided with one or more passages for receiving a liquid to be filtered and filter membranes formed on inner walls of the passages. The liquid to be filtered passes through the filter membranes into the support body and exits from the support body through a circumferential surface of the support body. At least one compensation element is arranged at an end face of the support body. The compensation element is elastically deformable for providing an additional liquid volume that is generated when the liquid expands due to freezing.
