Abstract: An apparatus and method for filtering a liquid utilize a filter apparatus including a bypass filter, a full flow filter, and a flow balancing element for dividing a total inlet flow of fluid to the filter apparatus into a bypass portion, passing through the bypass filter, and a full flow portion, passing through the full flow filter. The bypass filter has a lower filtering efficiency than the full flow filter element, so that a venturi tube is not required for causing the bypass portion to pass through the bypass filter. The flow balancing element divides the flow into a desired bypass portion and a desired full flow portion, at a predetermined operating temperature. Below the operating temperature, the bypass portion increases and the full flow portion decreases, the bypass portion becoming greater that the full flow portion at a second predetermined temperature below the operating temperature.

Abstract: A light sensor (2) remote from the illuminated region (18) measures the total lighting intensity (E). On exceeding an adjustable limit, The lighting installation (14) is switched off. On falling below it, the installation is switched on, or is controlled to a given value. A transmitter (24) emits measurement signals (26) incident on the illuminated region (18). These are reflected to selective receivers (30, 22). The transmitted (26) and reflected signals (28) are compared, to determine a correction factor. This is evaluated using a given calibration curve, to correct the measured lighting intensity (E). Should this depart from a given lighting intensity (E 0), the intensity of the lighting installation is automatically raised or lowered.
