ABSTRACT:
A fluid filtering device is provided which is particularly suitable for connection with the return or pressure line of a hydraulic system. The fluid filtering device comprises an elongated tubular cylindrical housing open at each end and which has at least its lower end submerged in a fluid reservoir. An elongated filter assembly includes an extension tube and a tubular cylindrical filter element coaxially connected at one end to the extension tube. The filter assembly is axially insertable into the housing so that the filter element is positioned at least partially below the fluid level of the reservoir. Upon insertion, both axial ends of the filter element sealingly engage the interior walls of the housing while the filter element is spaced radially inwardly from the housing thus forming an annular inlet chamber. Fluid flows from the inlet and into the annular chamber, through the filter element and to the reservoir through the open lower end of the filter element. An elongated tube is disposed within the interior of the filter element and has one end open to the bottom of the extension tube and its other end open adjacent the lower open end of the filter element. Upon removal of the filter assembly, leakage oil contained within the interior of the extension tube is siphoned through the tube and into the fluid reservoir.
