  • Patent number: 9463399
    Abstract: A liquid filter construction comprising a filter housing is disclosed. The filter housing contains a filter element for filtration of liquids using a urea aqueous solution. A compressible element is positioned within the filter housing, the compressible element comprising an enclosure containing a gas-filled volume. This compressible element compresses in response to the generation of pressure from freezing of liquid within the filtration housing. The compression of the compressible element thereby avoids damage to the filter element, the filter housing, and adjacent equipment.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7888601
    Abstract: One system of the present application includes an electronic assembly with a heat dissipating device, printed wiring board with electronic circuitry, bus bar, insulative grommet, and fastener. The board defines a bus with an interconnection pad and a board opening. The bus bar connects with the interconnection pad and defines a bar opening with a beveled shoulder portion that align with the board opening to define a passage to a fastening site of the heat dissipating device. The grommet defines a distal end portion opposite a proximal end portion shaped with a flange. The distal end portion is inserted into the passage with the flange abutting the beveled shoulder portion. The fastener extends through the grommet to provide a mechanical connection of the board and bar to the site and maintain thermal coupling between the board and device while the grommet electrically insulates the fastener from the bar.

  • Publication number: 20100186373
    Abstract: An electric power system includes a genset with an electric power generator, an internal combustion engine driving the electric power generator, and an electric heating device. This device may be used to selectively regenerate an exhaust treatment subsystem and/or to otherwise selectively increase load on the engine. In one application, the system is carried by a vehicle propelled by another engine. In another application, the system is structured to provide back-up power to an AC power bus, and is typically stationary.
