Publication number: 20230079260Abstract: A water drain valve system structured to drain water from a fuel-water separator. The system includes a collection vessel structured to temporarily store water, a liquid level sensor structured to monitor a level of the temporarily stored water, a drainage port extending radially from the collection vessel and having a port inlet and a port outlet, and a valve assembly. The port inlet receives water to be drained from the collection vessel, the water flowing through the drainage port and exiting through the port outlet. The valve assembly is movable between a closed position in which the port outlet is closed, and an open position, in which the port outlet is open, to selectively allow water to be drained from the collection vessel. The valve assembly includes a solenoid coupled to a seal member, the seal member closing the port outlet in the closed position of the valve assembly.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 16, 2021Publication date: March 16, 2023Applicant: Cummins Filtration Inc.Inventors: Philip S.

Patent number: 9597616Abstract: A connection between a fluid filter and a head is described that permits quick connection/disconnection between the two without requiring disconnection of fluid lines from the head. The head includes a lock to connect inlet and outlet fluid lines to a fluid filter using a non-threaded attachment method. The lock that retains the head to the fluid filter is flexible to allow for connection and disconnection. The head has fluid inlet and outlet ports to which fluid lines attach to flow unfiltered fluid into and filtered fluid out of the fluid filter when the head is connected to the fluid filter. The head closes the fluid filter, which has a protrusion with adjacent passageways that guide and separate unfiltered from filtered fluid.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2013Date of Patent: March 21, 2017Assignee: CUMMINS FILTRATION IP, INC.Inventors: Joel M. Blunt, Ricky England, Chad T. Brummitt, Gregory Shope, Rahul Kallurwar, Philip S. Hall, Chad M. Thomas

Patent number: 9010717Abstract: A mounting assembly is described that has an interface designed to increase the stress margin of at least the module side of the assembly, for example in a liquid filtration module, and to increase ease of assembling its mounting components. The interface reduces the failure of the mounting assembly at least on the module side, so that if failure of the mounting assembly occurs, such an occurrence is less likely to be at the interface and on the module side, thereby reducing the need to replace more complex and expensive components that may be on the module side. Generally, the mounting assembly includes a mounting interface and a mounting bracket connectable to the mounting interface. A retention component is configured to maintain connection of the mounting interface to the mounting bracket.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 2014Date of Patent: April 21, 2015Assignee: Cummins Filtration IP, Inc.Inventors: Rahul B. Kallurwar, Kevin C. South, Charles W. Hawkins, Ismail C. Bagci, Philip S. Hall

Patent number: 8968565Abstract: Improvements to “no filter, no run” fluid filtration systems are described. In one example, a filter includes a movable pin cage that has a first pre-installation position adjacent the bottom end plate and is temporarily connected thereto by a snap connection system, and a second position adjacent the upper end plate where it performs a valve interaction function. In another example, a filter includes non-centered valve pins that are rotatable relative to an upper end plate of the filter.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 2014Date of Patent: March 3, 2015Assignee: Cummins Filtration IP, Inc.Inventors: Chad M.
