Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A filter cartridge endplate ( 12 ) is described herein that has an integrated flow structure. For example, the integrated flow structure has concentric flow portions disposed at a center of the endplate ( 12 ), where a separator ( 10 ) is built into the endplate ( 12 ) that separates fluid flow. The endplate ( 12 ) includes a plate with a major surface, a separator ( 10 ) that protrudes axially away from the major surface. The separator ( 10 ) includes a first flow portion ( 14 ) and a second flow portion ( 16 ), where the first flow portion ( 14 ) is disposed radially inward relative to the second flow portion ( 16 ). The first flow portion ( 14 ) includes a channel ( 22 ) and the second flow portion includes a channel ( 24 ). The respective channels ( 22,24 ) are configured to allow axial fluid flow relative to the plate, and configured to allow fluid flow that is localized toward the center of the plate ( 12 ).
