Cummins Filtration Inc.

Systems and methods for a no-filter no-run filter are provided herein. A filter assembly includes a filter head and a filter cartridge. The filter head includes a first port and a valve positioned within the first port. The filter cartridge includes a shell having a shell wall defining an internal volume and a filter element disposed within the internal volume. The filter element includes a filter media and a first endplate coupled to the filter media at a filter media first end. The first endplate includes an endplate end wall and an arm extending axially away from the endplate end wall such that the arm contacts the valve.

A system includes a housing. The system includes a filter element disposed in the housing. The filter element is configured to filter an operating fluid. The system includes an additive disposed in the housing. The additive is configured as a crystalline solid at a temperature below 60° C. and configured to disperse into an operating fluid at a temperature in a range of 60° C. to 160° C. The additive can improve the oxidative stability of the operating fluid.

An air cleaner assembly comprises a housing and a filter element. The housing comprises a first housing end and a second housing end. The second housing end of the housing defines an opening of the housing for fluid flow. The filter element is configured to be received through the first housing end of the housing. The filter element comprises a filter media and a closed endplate. The filter media comprises a first media end and a second media end. The second media end of the filter media defines an opening of the filter element for fluid flow. The closed endplate is positioned along the first media end of the filter media and comprises a wall with an axially inner surface and an axially outer surface. The axially outer surface is exposed to an area outside of the housing and closes off the first housing end of the housing when the filter element is positioned within the housing.

An air cleaner assembly comprises a filter element and a housing assembly. The filter element comprises a filter media for filtering a fluid and a first endcap positioned along a first end of the filter media and through which a first filtered air flow portion flows. The housing assembly at least partially contains the filter element and comprises a cover that defines a first outlet through which the first filtered air flow portion flows to a downstream device. The cover comprises a noise reduction device that receives the first filtered air flow portion and dissipates sound waves traveling upstream from the downstream device.

A filter assembly comprises a housing defining an internal volume and comprising an inlet for receiving fuel, a first outlet to allow filtered fuel to exit the internal volume, and a second outlet to allow water separated from the fuel to exit the internal volume. A filter element is disposed within the internal volume for filtering the fuel to provide the filtered fuel and separate the water from the fuel. An outlet assembly is fluidly coupled to the first and second outlets and comprises a first flow path structured to communicate the filtered fuel to the first outlet, and a second flow path fluidly coupled to the internal volume of the housing and to the water reservoir so as to receive the water from the internal volume and communicate the water to the water reservoir. The second flow path is fluidly isolated from the first flow path.

A deionization filter assembly includes an outer cylinder, an inner cylinder. an endcap, and a screen. The outer cylinder includes a first outer end and a second outer end and is configured to contain an outer resin bed. The inner cylinder is positionable within the outer cylinder and includes a first inner end and a second inner end. The inner cylinder is configured to contain an inner resin bed. The endcap is positionable along the first outer end of the outer cylinder and the first inner end of the inner cylinder and includes an inlet and an outlet. The screen is positionable between the endcap and the outer cylinder and the inner cylinder.

A dry material transfer pump comprises an outer tube including an outer tube channel having an upstream end that is axially aligned with a downstream end thereof, and a plenum portion having a cross-sectional width that is larger than a cross-sectional width of the outer tube channel. A pressurized gas inlet is defined through the outer tube and is in fluid communication with the plenum portion. An inner tube is disposed annularly within the outer tube channel and defines an inner tube channel configured to receive particulate matter. At least one opening is defined radially through a wall of the inner tube and fluidly couples the plenum portion to the inner tube channel to allow the pressurized gas to flow from the plenum portion into the inner tube channel and create suction within the inner tube channel for drawing the particulate matter through the inner tube channel.

An air cleaner assembly comprises a housing and a filter element. The housing comprises a first housing end and a second housing end. The second housing end of the housing defines an opening of the housing for fluid flow. The filter element is configured to be received through the first housing end of the housing. The filter element comprises a filter media and a closed endplate. The filter media comprises a first media end and a second media end. The second media end of the filter media defines an opening of the filter element for fluid flow. The closed endplate is positioned along the first media end of the filter media and comprises a wall with an axially inner surface and an axially outer surface. The axially outer surface is exposed to an area outside of the housing and closes off the first housing end of the housing when the filter element is positioned within the housing.

A filter cartridge includes a shell, a connecting ring, an end cap, and an axially directed sealing member. The shell defines an inner cavity and an upper lip disposed along an upper edge of the inner cavity. The upper lip defines a channel. The connecting ring is positioned outside of the inner cavity and is engaged with the channel. The connecting ring includes a threaded region extending along a central axis of the shell. The end cap is engaged with the shell adjacent to the upper lip. The axially directed sealing member is positioned between the shell and the end cap and extends axially outward so as to form an axial seal with a filter head when the filter cartridge is installed on the filter head.

A method of manufacturing a media assembly comprises winding a filter media about a center axis into a media roll and cutting the media roll along at least two cut lines and into at least two media packs of at least two media assemblies. The media roll is cut along at least one plane that is parallel to the center axis.
