Abstract:
A fluid filter apparatus comprising an upper housing shell; a lower housing shell; a pleat pack element comprising a peripheral frame and a folded pleated media. The frame is at least partially molded over the media to secure the media in the frame, and the media comprises two or more types of media of different densities from each other. A flow control element is disposed for changing the proportion of flow between the first media and the second media responsive to changes in at least one of temperature, pressure, flow rate and/or viscosity of the fluid.

Claim (Index 1):
A fluid filter apparatus comprising:\n an upper housing shell; a lower housing shell; a pleat pack element comprising a peripheral frame and a folded pleated media, wherein the frame is at least partially molded over at least some edges the media to secure the media in the frame, wherein the media comprises a first region of media and a second region of media, with the two media regions being of different filtration densities from each other, and wherein at least two of the upper housing shell, the pleat pack and the lower housing shell are attached to each other to form a chamber containing the filter medias; an inlet provided on the lower housing shell; an outlet formed on one of the upper housing shell and/or the pleat pack frame; and a flow control element in the chamber, arranged in a flow path between the second region of media and the outlet, wherein the flow control element comprises at least one of: (a) a rigid wall having one or more apertures therethrough; (b) a rigid wall at least partially defining one or more orifices as a gap between the all and the upper cover; and/or (c) a resilient flexible member having one end fixedly attached to pleat pack.
