Abstract
A magnetic fluid filter for filtering metallic particles from a fluid flow system. The filter comprises a magnetic array, a central support for the magnetic array, and arm pieces for positioning the effective range of the magnetic array in a fluid flow environment. The magnetic array includes a plurality of disc shaped magnets arranged with poles in opposition, interleaved with the arm pieces and disc shaped pole pieces.
Claims33
A filter apparatus comprising:
- a plurality of magnets;
- a plurality of pole pieces, interleaved between said magnets;
- a plurality of arm pieces, extending substantially radially from a center axis of said filter apparatus;
- and
- an assembly piece, configured to support said plurality of magnets, said plurality of pole pieces, and said plurality of arm pieces.
2 more elements
A fluid filter apparatus comprising:
- a magnetic array comprising a plurality of magnets arranged in a like-pole to like-pole orientation;
- a plurality of arm pieces extending substantially radially from a center axis of said magnetic array;
- and
- a support piece configured to support the magnetic array in a fluid flow path such that fluid is allowed to flow over said magnetic array.
1 more element
A filter for the removal of metallic particles from a fluid, said filter comprising:
- a magnetic body configured to attract and retain magnetically attractable particles present in a fluid flow path, said magnetic body comprising a plurality of magnets separated by a plurality of pole pieces;
- and
- attaching means for attaching the filter in a fluid flow path of a system requiring filtering of a fluid, so as to allow fluid to flow over and around the magnetic body.
