  • Publication number: 20050194301
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20050103701
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20040148913
    Abstract: 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.
