Abstract
A filter assembly includes a cylindrical filter housing, a filter element housing plate positioned between a high pressure and a low pressure side of the filter housing, the filter element housing plate having a plurality of one female cavities, and a plurality of replaceable filter elements within the filter housing. Each replaceable filter element has an endcap with an external rounded polygon shaped sealing surface engaging peripheral surfaces of an associated female cavity of the filter element housing plate and sealing against peripheral surfaces of the female cavity of the filter element housing plate.

A filter assembly comprising:
- A housing assembly having an inlet on a high pressure side and an outlet on a low pressure side;
- a filter element housing plate positioned vertically within the housing assembly and between the high pressure side and the low pressure side of the housing assembly and the filter element housing plate having at plurality of female cavities, wherein each female cavity includes a radially inwardly facing peripheral side surface having a rounded polygon shape and a ledge adjacent a distal end of the peripheral side surface extending radially inward of the radially inwardly facing peripheral side surface;
- a plurality of replaceable filter elements extending horizontally within the housing assembly, each replaceable filter element positioned within one of the female cavities of the filter element housing plate and having a proximal endcap with filter media extending distally from the proximal endcap, wherein the proximal endcap includes an external rounded polygon shaped sealing surface engaging the radially inwardly facing peripheral side surface of the one female cavity of the filter element housing plate and sealing against the radially inwardly facing peripheral side surface of the one female cavity of the filter element housing plate, wherein the ledge adjacent a distal end of the peripheral side surface of the one female cavity provides a stop for the horizontal movement of the replaceable filter element.
A filter assembly comprising:
- A housing assembly having an inlet on a high pressure side and an outlet on a low pressure side;
- a filter element housing plate vertically positioned between the high pressure and low pressure side of the housing assembly, wherein the filter element housing plate includes at least one circular array of female cavities, each configured to receive a replaceable filter element therein, wherein each female cavity includes a radially inwardly facing peripheral side surface having a rounded polygon shape and a ledge adjacent a distal end of the peripheral side surface extending radially inward of the radially inwardly facing peripheral side surface;
- one replaceable filter element within each female cavity extending horizontally within the housing assembly, each replaceable filter element including a proximal endcap with filter media extending distally from the proximal endcap and having an integral external rounded polygon shaped sealing surface engaging the radially inwardly facing peripheral side surface of the female cavity of the filter element housing plate and sealing against the radially inwardly facing peripheral side surface of the female cavity of the filter element housing plate.
A filter assembly comprising:
- a cylindrical filter housing;
- a filter element housing plate positioned vertically between a high pressure and a low pressure side of the filter housing, the filter element housing plate having a plurality of female cavities, wherein each female cavity includes a radially inwardly facing peripheral side surface having a rounded polygon shape and a ledge adjacent a distal end of the peripheral side surface extending radially inward of the radially inwardly facing peripheral side surface ;;
- a plurality of replaceable filter elements extending horizontally within the housing assembly, each replaceable filter element positioned within one of the female cavities of the filter element housing plate and having a proximal endcap with filter media extending distally from the proximal endcap, wherein the proximal endcap includes an external rounded polygon shaped sealing surface engaging the radially inwardly facing peripheral side surface of the one female cavity of the filter element housing plate and sealing against the radially inwardly facing peripheral side surface of the one female cavity of the filter element housing plate, wherein the ledge adjacent a distal end of the peripheral side surface of the one female cavity provides a stop for the horizontal movement of the replaceable filter element.
