A filtration apparatus, comprising:
- a particulate filter section;
- an evaporator section positioned adjacent the particulate filter section;
- a heater disposed at least in part in the evaporator section;
- and
- The filtration apparatus of claim 1, further comprising an evaporation tube positioned around the heater The filtration apparatus of claim 5, wherein the evaporation tube including a bore fitted adjacent the heater.
A filtration apparatus, comprising:
- a particulate filter section;
- an evaporator section positioned adjacent the particulate filter section;
- a heater disposed at least in part in the evaporator section;
- and
- an evaporation tube positioned around the heater forming a fluid entrance tube at its center, the heater further disposed at least in part in the fluid entrance tube such that the fluid would flow along the heater through the fluid entrance tube, and having a conically shaped outer surface over which fluid flowing through the fluid entrance tube would flow.
