Crankcase filter assembly
A filter assembly that includes a separator for separating gas from a fluid. The assembly includes; a base with surrounding walls that define a fluid reservoir; a baffle that overlies at least a portion of the reservoir; a filter element that is beneath the baffle and in the reservoir; and, a cover that is removably fastened to the base and includes a fluid inlet that terminates in a conical base with an unrestricted opening and the baffle includes a fluid impact cone.
1. A filter assembly that includes a separator for separating gas from a liquid, the assembly comprising:
a base with surrounding walls that define a fluid reservoir;
a baffle that overlies at least a portion of the reservoir;
a filter element that is beneath the baffle and in the reservoir; and
a cover that is removably fastened to the base and includes a fluid inlet;
wherein the fluid inlet terminates in a conical base with an unrestricted opening and the baffle includes a conical recess that is spaced from the conical base, the conical recess is surrounded by and extends down from a flat ring, and the flat ring is concentrically surrounded by an upstand ring.
2. A filter assembly that includes a separator for separating gas from a liquid, the assembly comprising:
a base with surrounding walls that define a fluid reservoir;
a baffle that overlies at least a portion of the reservoir, the baffle concentrically including a flat ring, an upstand ring, and a wall;
a filter that is beneath the baffle and in the reservoir; and,
a cover that is removably fastened to the base and includes a fluid inlet upstream from the filter and a fluid outlet downstream from the filter;
wherein the cover cooperates with the flat ring, the upstand ring, and the wall to form the separator and the fluid inlet terminates in a conical base with an unrestricted opening and the baffle includes a conical recess.
