Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an oil filter having an integrated oil cooler for use in internal combustion engines.
  • An internal combustion engine is typically used in automobiles, motorcycles, buses, trucks and the like, the engine parts are typically lubricated and cooled by means of engine oil circulated through an engine lubricating system.
  • the oil absorbs heat from the engine parts and can become warmer than is optimal for efficient operation of the engine. Excessively high oil temperatures can result in rapid breakdown and exposure to coking with ensuing deterioration of the lubricating characteristics of the oil. Such a turn of events may result in increased engine wear and shorter engine life. As a result, many high performance engines are designed with a special oil cooler to prevent excessively high oil temperatures.
  • Oil filters are an important part of modern internal combustion engines since they remove particles and other contaminants from the oil which may form in the engine. The removal of the particles and contaminants from the oil protects the bearings and other moving parts of the engine from excessive wear. Integration of an oil filter with an oil cooler has been previously disclosed as shown in U.S. Patent No. 5,967,111 issued to Hedman (the “Hedman patent”) and U.S. Patent No. 4,831,980 issued to Nasu, et al. (the “Nasu, et al. patent”). Such prior attempts to form a filter and integrated cooler have been found to be either more costly to manufacture or less efficient in operation than is desirable as further explained below.
  • the Hedman patent shows a common approach to the design of a combined oil filter and oil cooler in which two annular concentric chambers, one for oil, one for coolant, share a common boundary wall through which heat transfer occurs.
  • This design limits the efficiency of the oil cooler since the surface area available for heat transfer between the oil and the coolant is limited to the shared common wall.
  • there is a need for an oil filter with integral cooler having a more efficient design.
  • the Nasu, et al. patent illustrates another approach to a combined oil filter and oil cooler.
  • a series of stacked cooling elements are joined together to form a cooling chamber.
  • the cooling element is located within the interior cavity defined by an annular filter.
  • the manufacture of such a stacked cooling element has been found to be more expensive than is desirable.
  • the interior placement of the cooling element limits the size of the cooling element and thereby the surface area available for providing heat transfer.
  • Nasu et al. discloses a housing mounted against the engine block of a motorcycle which is held in place by a hollow shafted bolt that engages a thread portion of an oil communication hole.
  • the arrangement of the housing and mount can make replacing the filter element difficult and messy since loosening the hollow bolt allows oil to spill out of its housing. Accordingly, there is a need for an improved oil filter with an integrated cooler that transfers heat efficiently, is inexpensive to manufacture, and is convenient to replace a filter element.
  • One object of the invention is to provide an oil filter with integrated oil cooler which has a unitary cooling element which is dimensioned to be immersed in the oil filter chamber to increase the surface area for heat transfer between the oil and the coolant.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a heater with integral cooler which includes a replaceable oil filter that is more convenient to replace.
  • a still further object of the invention is to provide a cooling element with an enlarged surface area for heat transfer between oil and coolant.
  • an improved oil filter with integrated oil cooler which includes a housing defining a chamber for receiving oil, a unitary cooling element located within the housing, an oil inlet for received unfiltered oil from an engine and passing it into said chamber, an oil outlet for passing filtered oil back to an engine, a filter element located within the chamber for filtering the oil, a coolant inlet for receiving low temperature coolant from a cooling system and passing said coolant to said cooling element; and a coolant outlet for passing warmed coolant from said cooling element to a cooling system.
  • the unitary design of the cooling element provides a significant cost savings in manufacturing over the stacked cooling element discussed above.
  • the filter with integrated cooler of the present invention provides a combination of efficient cooling due to the intimate contact between the cooling element and oil as well as low cost due to the simplified design of the cooling element.
  • the improved oil filter may optionally have a housing including (1) a housing base with a first end mounted to the engine and a second end having a first threaded surface, and (2) a housing cover having a second threaded surface for threadably mating with the first threaded surface of the housing base.
  • the housing may be further provided with a quick release valve which is actuated upon unscrewing the housing cover to allow oil to quickly drain from the oil filter chamber.
  • the improved oil filter with integrated cooler includes a housing that has a plurality of projections extending outwardly from its exterior surface.
  • the inclusion of the projections substantially increases the exterior surface area of the housing which is in contact with ambient air thereby significantly increasing the efficiency of the cooling operation as heat is transferred through the housing walls.
  • the projections may contribute to the efficiency of heat transferred by increasing turbulent air flows adjacent to the housing. It is also believed that the projections provide improved structural stability to the housing which allows thinner materials to be used thereby decreasing the thermal mass of the oil filter with integral cooler. This may also contribute to the improved thermal transfer properties of the housing design of this embodiment of the invention.

  • low temperature coolant flows from the cooling system through the inlet tubing 113 into inlet 120 and cooling element inlet 111.
  • the low temperature coolant circulates through the cooling element 116 absorbing heat from the oil flowing in the unfiltered oil cavity 186 and exits the cooling element 116 as warmed coolant at outlet tubing 117.
  • the coolant then passes through outlet 122 into coolant return tube 115 which returns the warmed coolant to the warm side of the engine cooling system for cooling by a radiator or other means.
