FILTER VALVE ASSEMBLY - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240033665 titled 'FILTER VALVE ASSEMBLY

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a filter assembly that includes a manifold, a filter housing, a filter medium, and a valve assembly. The manifold has a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet, while the filter housing contains the filter medium, which creates an inner filter chamber and an outer filter chamber. The filter housing is detachable from the manifold, allowing fluid to flow from the inlet into the inner filter chamber, through the filter medium, into the outer chamber, and out of the outlet. The valve assembly, mounted inside the manifold, consists of a shut-off valve piston and a shut-off valve spring that biases the piston into a first position.

  • The filter assembly includes a manifold, filter housing, filter medium, and valve assembly.
  • The manifold has a fluid inlet and outlet, while the filter housing contains the filter medium.
  • The filter medium creates an inner filter chamber and an outer filter chamber.
  • The filter housing is detachable from the manifold.
  • Fluid flows from the inlet into the inner filter chamber, through the filter medium, into the outer chamber, and out of the outlet.
  • The valve assembly, mounted inside the manifold, consists of a shut-off valve piston and a shut-off valve spring.
  • The valve piston is biased into a first position by the valve spring.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Water filtration systems
  • Oil filtration systems
  • Air filtration systems
  • Industrial filtration processes

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Efficient filtration of fluids
  • Easy removal and replacement of filter housing
  • Prevention of backflow or leakage
  • Reliable shut-off valve mechanism

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved filtration efficiency
  • Simplified maintenance and filter replacement
  • Enhanced safety and prevention of fluid contamination
  • Reliable shut-off valve for controlling fluid flow


Original Abstract Submitted

a filter assembly includes a manifold having a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet, a filter housing having a filter medium provided therein, the filter medium defining an inner filter chamber and defining an outer filter chamber between the filter medium and the filter housing, the filter housing being removably attached to the manifold so as to provide a fluid flow path from the inlet into the inner filter chamber, through the filter medium into the outer chamber and out of the outlet; characterised by the filter assembly further comprising a valve assembly mounted inside the manifold, the valve assembly comprising a shut off valve piston and a shut off valve spring arranged in engagement with the valve piston to bias the valve piston into a first position
