摘要:
In general, techniques are described for filter media monitoring within a filtration system. The filter media monitoring techniques described herein include, for example, direct contact with the filter media, e.g., a sensor may be located inside a boundary defined by a surface of the filter media, or indirect contact with the filter media, e.g., a sensor may be located outside the boundary defined by the surface of the filter media such that the sensor does not make direct physical contact with the filter media being monitored.

A fluid treatment system is provided, the system including a fluid treatment cartridge for treating fluid passing therethrough. The cartridge has an inlet through which untreated fluid enters the cartridge and an outlet from which treated fluid exits the cartridge. The cartridge also has a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag for storing data. The fluid treatment system also includes a connection manifold configured to detachably support the fluid treatment cartridge. The connection manifold has an inlet flow path for directing untreated fluid to the inlet of the cartridge and an outlet flow path for directing treated fluid from the outlet of the cartridge, and a data sensor for reading data stored on the RFID tag. The fluid treatment system further includes means for evaluating the data stored on the RFID tag and read by the data sensor, as well as means for deterring fluid treatment system use based upon the evaluation of the data stored on the RFID tag and read by the data sensor.
摘要:
A new and improved engine coolant filter for removing particulate matter such as scale and rust from an internal combustion engine cooling system, the engine coolant filter comprising a filter element wherethrough coolant fluid may be circulated, the filter element including a housing having an input aperture and an output aperture, the housing also having filter medium disposed between the input aperture and the output aperture wherethrough coolant fluid may flow, and a manifold installed in series with a pressurized coolant line, the manifold having an input port and an output port, the manifold being removedly connected to the filter element such that coolant fluid flowing into the input port is circulated through the filter medium then out the output port, the manifold also having an automatic clogged-filter bypass valve whereby an unacceptable pressure differential across the ports caused by clogged filter medium shunts the coolant fluid around the clogged filter medium, the manifold further having a visual indicator, whereby a user is warned of a filter medium clog.

The filter according to the invention comprises an outer casing which is provided with an end cover having a connection to the engine lubrication circuit. The outer casing houses a first filter pack or element positioned to be passed through by the engine lubricating oil. A pressure relief valve, which allows the oil to bypass the first filter pack or element in the case of excessive pressure drop, is provided. The pressure relief valve cooperates with a piston element associated with an electrically conducting spring to establish electrical connection between an electrical contact and a part of the filter casing. A second filter pack or element is positioned to filter part of the oil which the pressure relief valve allows to pass when a high pressure drop in the oil flow through the first filter pack or element occurs.

In a water purifier which includes a display portion (10) displaying announcement information, the display portion (10) includes an indicator (24), a circuit board (22) to which a control circuit controlling the indicator (24) is attached, and a case (26) which accommodates the indicator (24) and the circuit board (22), the case (26) includes a case main body (27) which has a cylindrical shape having opening portions at both ends thereof and is made of a transparent material, and a lid body (28) which liquid-tightly closes a first opening portion (27a) of the case main body, and a second opening portion (27b) of the case main body (27) is sealed by a resin (25).
摘要:
A fluid filter having a fluid pressure sensor integral with a canister enclosing a filter medium, such that the fluid filter can be removed and replaced as a unit and further such that a new fluid pressure sensor is provided each time the fluid filter is replaced. The fluid filter can be readily adapted to many different fluid systems. In some embodiments, the fluid filter has two housing sections fastened together to enclose a filter medium. In some embodiments, the sensor includes an indicator that is easily visible outside of the housing. In some embodiments the indicator is responsive to a predetermined fluid pressure within the fluid filter.
