  • Ceramic coating for heated fuel filter
    Patent number: 10954860
    Abstract: A fuel filter comprises a filter screen, a heating element, and a coating. The filter screen includes a first hollow member. The heating element is disposed within the first hollow member. The coating is formed of a thermally conductive, electrically insulating ceramic in a hydrodynamic filtering pattern surrounding the filter screen but having a different shape than a shape of the hollow member.

  • Electrically heated filter screens
    Patent number: 10112725
    Abstract: A heating body for an electrically heated filter screen includes a heater element having an outer surface and a metallic protective layer having an inner surface. An insulating layer is disposed between the heater element outer surface and the inner surface of the metallic layer. The metallic layer and an exposed portion of the insulating layer define an exterior of the heating body. An electrically heated filter screen constructed from pairs of intersecting heating bodies is also described.
