Description
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a filter cartridge for a fluid filter assembly, and a filter housing of a fluid filter assembly adapted to receive the filter cartridge. In addition, the present invention relates to a fluid filter assembly including both a filter housing and a filter cartridge. Finally, the invention also relates to a method for assembling said filter assembly.
Background
The invention belongs to the specific application in the field of automobiles. In particular, the context of the present application is that the viscosity of the fluid being filtered in the fluid filter assembly is affected by the operating temperature. For example, it is preferred that known filter assemblies are suitable for performing fuel (preferably of the diesel type) filtration in order to separate the fuel not only from the suspended particles, but also from the aqueous particles. Or also in the automotive field, filter assemblies are known, such as for filtering blow-by gas, oil, urea or air.
A major problem in fluid filtration, in particular diesel filtration, is the more or less sudden accumulation of impurities on the first layer of the filter housing traversed by the fluid. Obviously, said accumulation of impurities causes clogging of the filtering shell, affecting its function.
this is particularly true when the fluid is at low temperatures (e.g., when the engine is just turned on, or under extreme cold weather conditions) and thus contains a large amount of crystals: for example, paraffin crystals are present in diesel fuel; in aqueous fluids, such as urea, ice crystals are present; in gaseous fluids, such as blow-by gas or ambient air, there are condensation crystals and/or droplets.
To overcome this problem, the known prior art is heating the fuel or, more generally, the working fluid, in order to reduce or avoid paraffin crystallization or, in general, ice or condensate accumulation. In the filter assembly solution actually provided the filter medium comprises a heating layer, preferably an electrical heating layer, the temperature of which is raised electrically when necessary in order to dissolve paraffin crystals, ice or condensate and to avoid the above-mentioned clogging.
The main problem which puzzles the filter element proposal is that the power supply can not be effectively provided for the heating layer so as to achieve effective heating.
Generally, this requirement involves the design and production of filter cartridges having a particularly complex structure.
for example, in known filter cartridges, there are special heating cages or heating jackets surrounding the filter medium, including a wire mesh.
Alternatively, filter cartridges are also known, wherein at least one filter cartridge end plate has electrical contacts suitable to be contacted by a suitable power supply device: in other words, the filter cartridge and the filter housing of the filter assembly are interconnected with a receptacle connector that is dedicated to function with a single relative position of the filter cartridge and the filter housing.
an example of an embodiment of a filter assembly having these drawbacks is described in the application EP 2811147. Another example of an embodiment of a filter assembly having these drawbacks is described in the application document WO2017/11525 in the name of the same applicant.

In the accompanying drawings, reference numeral 1 indicates in its entirety a filter cartridge according to a preferred embodiment of the invention. Similarly, in the drawings, reference numeral 900 designates a fluid filter assembly, preferably fuel oil, or preferably diesel fuel, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. Also in accordance with the present invention, reference numeral 950 designates a filter housing of the filter assembly 900 according to a preferred embodiment.
The present invention relates to a filter cartridge 1 of a fluid filter assembly 900 which can be received by a filter housing 950 of said filter assembly 900.
the filter cartridge 1 extends along a main axis X-X and comprises a filter medium 3 and at least one end plate 2 located at an axial end of the filter medium 3. Preferably, the filter cartridge comprises two end plates located at opposite ends of the filter medium 3: a first end plate 21 (preferably a bottom end plate) and a second end plate 22 (preferably a top end plate).
As mentioned above, the filter cartridge 1 comprises at least one end plate 2 at an axial end of the filter cartridge 1, which end plate 2 may have a through opening 20 for the passage of fluid. As shown in the figures, the end plate 2 having the through opening 20 is preferably a second end plate 22. Preferably, through this second end plate 22, the filter cartridge 1 cooperates directly with the filter housing 950 (preferably with its support portion 952) by means of the through openings 20, so that said filter medium 3 is in fluid communication with the liquid (i.e. fuel) circulation system, thus filtering the fluid of said circulation system. According to the preferred embodiment, the first endplate 21 is adapted to engage the filter housing 950 (with its closure portion 951).
in the case of a fuel filter, for example, the first end plate 21 houses a lower gasket 210, said lower gasket 210 being adapted to make said first end plate 21 sealingly engage the wall of the filter housing 950 to define a water collection chamber in the filter assembly 900, below the filter cartridge 1.
The filter medium 3 extends axially around a main axis X-X between said first 21 and second 22 end plates and has a cylindrical barrel shape, defining a central cavity 300. In fact, the fluid may penetrate the filter medium 3 in the radial direction. Preferably, the filter medium 3 is in an operating state, and fluid penetrates through the filter medium 3 from outside to inside in a radial direction.
In the case of a fuel filter, for example, the filter medium 3 is provided radially with layers having different physical properties, for example a first layer suitable for filtering out suspended solids, while the other layers are suitable for separating out water-containing particles.
In particular, the filter medium 3 comprises at least one electrically powered heating layer 30, so as to be able to regulate the temperature. In a preferred embodiment, the heating layer 30 is the first layer that intercepts the liquid to be filtered. According to a preferred embodiment, the liquid to be filtered passes through the filter medium 3 radially from the outside inwards, while the heating layer 30 is placed and/or produced on the outer surface of the filter medium 3. In practice, the heating layer 30 faces the inlet chamber of the fluid to be filtered. Wherein the inlet chamber is a region between the outside of the filter cartridge 1 and the filter housing 950. In general, the filter housing 950 defines a filter cavity separating an inlet cavity on the upstream side of the filter media 3 and an outlet cavity on the downstream side of the filter media. Specifically, in the present embodiment, the outlet chamber is the central chamber 300, and the inlet chamber is a region between the outside of the filter cartridge 1 and the filter housing 950.

The first contact ring 510 and the second contact ring 520 connected to different electrodes allow the formation of a current loop in the heating layer 30 and the generation of heat according to the joule effect. The heat thus generated is used to dissolve the paraffin crystals or ice carried by the working fluid and/or accumulated on the surface of the filter medium or in its volume.
In practice, the power supply means 5 further comprise an electric power supply element 55 located on the endplate 2, connected to the contact layer element 50 and adapted to be contacted and supplied with electric power by electric contacts 955 present on the filter housing 950.

Preferably, it is foreseen that the first component 51 also comprises similar insulating elements.
Various embodiments of the power supply element 55 are provided according to the present invention.
Specifically, metal device 550, which includes a circular arc shaped portion, included in power supply element 55, includes first and second portions 551, 552 that may respectively contact the anode and cathode of a power source that powers fluid filter assembly 900. The first portion 551 is connected to the first member 51 and the second portion 552 is connected to the second member 52.
According to a preferred embodiment, first portion 551 is annular and second portion 552 is also annular, wherein first portion 551 and second portion 552 extend concentrically to main axis X-X, radially spaced from each other.
