Abstract:
A filter is described that is combined with a device to address vibrations. Such vibrations can adversely impact filter performance. An engine system including this combination is also described.
Abstract:
An oil pump modification adaptor for retrofitting an automobile engine that converts a no-filtration system or a bypass filtration system to a full-flow filtration system. The adaptor modifies the oil pump by providing a full-flow filtration that removes suspended particulates in the oil, so that the particulates do not damage the engine. The flow path of a lubricating oil is modified such that oil is prevented from directly entering the engine unfiltered from an oil reservoir. The adaptor has an integral oil pressure regulator that maintains design oil pressure during conditions of low and high engine speed while directing oil through a filter before entering the engine galleries and passages. The adaptor easily installs and replaces an end plate on a pump housing on the original pump.
Abstract:
An oil filter of a transmission for motor vehicles has one filter housing, at least one inlet opening for unfiltered oil, at least one outlet opening for filtered oil. A filter medium is arranged in the oil flow between the at least one inlet opening and the at least one outlet opening. The filter housing is formed from two shells connected with one another, a lower shell and an upper shell, and features a second outlet opening.
Abstract:
A serviceable device for filtering lubricating oil includes an inlet and an outlet, a first filtering element and an absorption filtering element. The absorption filtering element is configured to absorb a fluidic contaminant present in the lubricating oil when in contact with the absorption filtering element. A flow path for the lubricating oil is from the inlet, through the first filtering element, and out the outlet. The flow path further includes lubricating oil contact with the absorption filtering element.
Abstract:
A device for removing a fluidic contaminant from engine oil in an internal combustion engine includes a fluid absorbing element having a mounting element and a fluid absorption media assembled into a sump of a crankcase of the internal combustion engine. A first portion of the fluid absorption media is immersed within the engine oil contained in the sump when the engine is not operating and a second portion of the fluid absorption media is exposed to ambient air contained in a head space of the crankcase. The fluid absorption media is configured to absorb a fluidic contaminant in the engine oil during a period when the engine is not operating and to desorb the absorbed fluidic contaminant.
Abstract:
An assembly includes a reservoir for holding a fluid, and a scavenge passage connected to the reservoir at a reservoir inlet. The scavenge passage returns the fluid from a delivery location to the reservoir. A bleed passage is connected in fluid communication between the reservoir and the scavenge passage.
Abstract:
Apparatuses and methods for removing volatiles from fluid systems. The apparatuses and methods include evaporator sections and may include a heater disposed at least in part in the evaporator section, an evaporation tube positioned around the heater, an air inlet adapted for fluid communication with a pressurized air source, and an air outlet adapted for fluid communication with a vacuum source.
Abstract:
A additive delivery system and method which includes a additive gel, a filter and a fluid/gel chemistry exchange region, wherein the exchange region subjects the additive gel to different types or combinations of contact with the fluid in order to control the additive release rate, maintain a uniform release rate, maintain the physical integrity of the gel or combinations thereof.
Abstract:
A four-cycle engine with an enclosed oil reservoir for mounting on a power tool is provided. An oil pump driven by a camshaft, which mates by a cam gear with crank gear that is driven by a crank shaft, inhales the oil from the oil reservoir to lubricate the engine parts. A circular arc wall surrounds around web of the crankshaft with a slight distance from the web. A scroll-shaped wall has gradually increased distance from the circular arc wall to the direction of rotation of the web and has partial overlap with the circular arc wall. In case of stock of engine oriented power take off side up or down, oil is prevented to flow from oil reservoir to combustion chamber by a weir which is provided between the circular wall and the scrolled wall. The check valve splashes breathing missed oil from the crankshaft to the breather room and causes the oil to supply lubricant to lubricate the engine parts.
Abstract:
An endcap including a first plate member including a radial inner portion, a radial outer portion, and defining a longitudinal axis. The endcap also includes a flange disposed between the radial inner and outer portions of the first plate member and projecting axially along the longitudinal axis in a first direction. The endcap also includes a first seal member disposed adjacent the flange. The first seal includes a first portion thereof engaged with an axial facing surface of the first plate member and a second portion thereof engaged with a radially facing surface of the flange. The endcap further includes a second plate member disposed radially outward of the radial outer portion and a second seal member disposed adjacent the second plate member including at least a portion thereof axially spaced from the axially facing surface of the first plate member in a second direction along the longitudinal axis opposite the first direction.
