Publication number: 20240133092Abstract: A thermally bonded filtration media that can be used in high temperature conditions in the absence of any loss of fiber through thermal effects or mechanical impact on the fiber components is disclosed. The filter media can be manufactured and used in a filter unit or structure, can be placed in a stream of removable fluid, and can remove a particulate load from the mobile stream at an increased temperature range. The combination of bi-component fiber, other filter media fiber, and other filtration additives provides an improved filtration media having unique properties in high temperature, high performance applications.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 10, 2023Publication date: April 25, 2024Inventors: Daniel Little, Robert M. Rogers, Derek O. Jones, Keh B. Dema

Publication number: 20230226475Abstract: A filter and filter media configured and arranged for placement in a fuel stream is disclosed. The filter and filter media allow for filtering of liquid fuels, such as diesel fuel. In certain embodiments the filter media includes a media fiber (such as glass) and a binder fiber (such as bicomponent) that combine to create a media structure having low solidity and relatively low compressibility, and which contain a pore structure that avoids premature fouling of the filter by fuel degradation products.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 6, 2023Publication date: July 20, 2023Inventors: Derek O. Jones, Keh B. Dema, Stephen M. Larsen, Mike J. Madsen, Andrew J. Dallas, Yehya A. Elsayed, Chuanfang Yang

Publication number: 20230149840Abstract: Thermoplastic bicomponent binder fiber can be combined with other media, fibers and other filtration components to form a thermally bonded filtration media. The filtration media can be used in filter units, such as breather caps. Such filter units can be placed in the stream of a mobile fluid and can remove a particulate and/or fluid mist load from the mobile stream. The unique combination of media fiber, bicomponent binder fiber and other filtration additives and components provide a filtration media having unique properties in filtration applications.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 18, 2022Publication date: May 18, 2023Inventors: Robert M. Rogers, Keh B. Dema, Brad E. Kahlbaugh, Linda M. Olson, Chuanfang Yang, Gregory L. LaVallee, Timothy D. Sporre, Joe Israel, Paul L. Kojetin, Derek O. Jones, Michael A. Madden
