Abstract: A desiccant filter of the spin-on type is provided with an aluminium
cast baseplate (30) which has an aperture formed therein for receiving a
pressure relief valve (96). The baseplate (30) is secured to a sheet steel
canister (20) by a hemming connection which folds the end of the canister
(20) around the rim of the baseplate (30). The inlet port (48) for receiving
wetter air and the outlet port (46) for returning drier air are located in the
baseplate (30). The inlet port (48) may be located inside the outlet port
(46) or alternatively the outlet ports (46) may be located inside the inlet
ports (48). A relief valve (96) is mounted in the aperture of the baseplate
(30) to relieve excessive pressure build up in the filter and the air braking
system. The pressure relief valve (96) includes a valve body (106), a
compression spring (102) and a plunger (104). The valve body (106)
includes an opening (116) and the plunger (104) includes plug (120) which
extends into the opening (116) to prevent formation of a deposit area
where water and other contaminants may be deposited. Regardless of
whether the outlet port (46) is located inside the inlet ports (48) or likewise
the reverse, the pressure relief valve (96) is always located in a position
where it receives relatively dry air thereby better preventing the possibility
of oil and water from freezing in the relief valve. The desiccant bed is
compressed in a way that minimizes the amount of gaps between pellets
and also minimizes the amount of rubbing between pellets thereby
reducing the amount of desiccant dust produced.
