Problems solved by technology

However, due to space constraints around the engine, it may be difficult to install more than one smaller oil filter in place of a single large oil filter
Additionally, multiple small oil filters may require dedicated oil inlet and / or outlet lines and separate mounting arrangements, creating added complexity to the installation and the challenge of accommodating smaller oil filters in confined spaces

Abstract

A modular bracket for mounting a first filter and a second filter thereon is provided. The modular bracket includes a first mount and a second mount adapted to receive the first filter and the secondfilter thereon respectively. The modular bracket includes a first chamber and a second chamber provided in fluid communication with the first mount and the second mount respectively. Each of the firstchamber and the second chamber is adapted to receive a filtered fluid from the first filter and the second filter respectively. The modular bracket also includes a central chamber, provided in fluidcommunication with the first chamber and the second chamber, adapted to receive the filtered fluid from the first chamber and the second chamber. The modular bracket further includes an outlet, provided in fluid communication with the central chamber, adapted to provide an egress of the filtered fluid from the central chamber.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a filter assembly. More specifically, the present invention relates to filter assemblies associated with engines. Background technique [0002] Typically, an engine, based on its size, utilization, and design requirements, employs one or more oil filters for continuous cleaning of the engine oil during normal operation of the engine. These oil filters can usually be installed on the engine using a separate mount for each oil filter. In some cases, where a single large oil filter is available to the engine, the single oil filter may exhibit performance issues including, but not limited to, limited filtering capacity and frequent clogging which in turn leads to frequent maintenance. [0003] In such cases, a single oil filter may be replaced with two or more similar oil filters, each having a smaller capacity than a single oil filter. However, due to space constraints around the engine, it may be difficult to install m...
