Publication number: 20050194301Abstract: A liquid filter arrangement including an internally received treatment agent storage and release cartridge is provided. The assembly is configured for diffusion of the treatment agent from the treatment agent storage and release cartridge, into liquid flowing through the filter arrangement. A particular arrangement shown is configured which provides for a dynamic type of liquid flow providing a current directed through the treatment agent storage and release cartridge. In the preferred arrangements, an initial static type of flow followed by later dynamic flow, is provided. Alternatives, methods of assembly and descriptions of use are provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 4, 2005Publication date: September 8, 2005Inventors: John Hacker, Brian Mandt, Brent Gulsvig

Publication number: 20050150304Abstract: An apparatus for measuring the differential pressure of fluid in filter. The apparatus comprises a housing defining a pressure chamber. A differential pressure gauge divides the pressure chamber into first and second fluid chambers. The differential pressure gauge is arranged to measure a differential pressure between fluid in the first chamber and fluid in the second chamber. The differential pressure gauge has a variable output.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 13, 2004Publication date: July 14, 2005Inventors: Michael Gustafson, John Hacker, John Connelly, Gus Breiland

Publication number: 20050103701Abstract: Liquid filter arrangements are provided. In general, the liquid filter arrangements comprise a housing, a primary filter element, a secondary filter construction and a bypass valve arrangement. The components are arranged such that in normal operation, liquid flows through the primary filter element and then through the secondary filter construction; and, such that during bypass valve operation, flow circumvents the primary filter element and is directed through the secondary filter construction, before leaving the liquid filter arrangement. Both a disposable spin on embodiment and a serviceable cartridge embodiment are provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 6, 2003Publication date: May 19, 2005Applicant: Donaldson Company, Inc.Inventors: Keith Bechtum, Brent Gulsvig, David Mulder, John Hacker

Publication number: 20040148913Abstract: A reverse flow air filter arrangement is provided. The arrangement includes a filter element having first and second end caps, the second end cap having a central drainage aperture. A funnel shape on an interior surface of second end cap is used to direct moisture flow to the drainage aperture. The arrangement includes a housing in which the filter element is positioned, operatively, during use. Certain features in the housing facilitate moisture withdrawal from the filter element while also inhibiting interference with sealing between the filter element and the housing.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 10, 2003Publication date: August 5, 2004Applicant: Donaldson Company, Inc.Inventors: Donald Francis Engel, Dolan Bartels, John Hacker, Bruce Crenshaw, Don Harold
