Abstract: A filter assembly includes a filter media for filtering a fluid, and a valve having a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet for controlling a flow of the fluid through the filter assembly. The valve includes a thermally active element that changes shape between a first configuration and a second configuration in response to a temperature variation. When the thermally active element is in the first configuration the valve is open with the fluid inlet in fluid communication with the fluid outlet, and the thermally active element changes shape to the second configuration to close the valve. The thermally active element may move a valve poppet against a valve seat to close the valve. A pressure bypass is configured to open the valve in response to a pressure increase in the filter assembly above a threshold pressure when the thermally active element is in the second configuration.

Abstract: A filter assembly including a canister with an open end; a filter element located within the canister, and an annular mount for attaching the canister to a manifold. The mount can include i) a central flow passage, ii) at least one flow passage disposed radially outward and fluidly separate from the central flow passage, and iii) one or more through-bores between the central flow passage and the periphery of the mount receiving a plurality of threaded fasteners for attaching the mount to a surface of a manifold. An annular first seal located around the central flow passage and an annular second seal located around the periphery of the mount fluidly seal the mount to the manifold. The mount further includes a peripheral threaded portion for cooperating with corresponding threads on the canister for enabling the canister to be removably attached to the mount.
