International Classification:

F16K 1718
B01D 3514

US Classification:

137110

Abstract:

A filter assembly including a housing and a filter element which includes a bypass/reverse flow valve coaxially disposed within the housing with the filter element and includes a central opening therethrough coaxially aligned with the opening in the filter element through which filtered fluid passes. In the forward flow direction a bypass valve opens responsive to a predetermined pressure differential appearing across the filter element to permit unfiltered fluid to flow from the source to the load without passing through the filter element. In the reverse flow direction, from the load to the source, a check valve closes and applied full load pressure to the reverse flow valve causing it to open with a second differential pressure which is lower than the bypass differential pressure to thereby permit free flow of fluid from the load to the source without passing through the filter.
