A filter element (56) includes a tubular member (86) including a partition (94) at least partially defining first and second chambers (96, 98). The tubular member includes at least one outlet aperture (106) and at least one inlet aperture (112) configured to provide flow communication exiting from the first chamber and flow communication into the second chamber, respectively. The filter element is configured such that fluid passing through the filter element from an inlet port (102) to an outlet port (104) passes through the first chamber, a filter medium (88), and the second chamber. The filter element also includes an end cap (90) having a return aperture (126) configured to provide flow communication between fluid exiting from the first chamber and fluid entering the inlet port, wherein a portion of fluid exiting from the first chamber is returned to the inlet port for recirculation through the first chamber. |
