Abstract
A magnetic fuel purifier with double purifying effect for liquid fuel and the like equipped with an inner pre-purifier rotating around a center shaft and an outer purifier, where the fuel passes through an especially sintered bronze ball filter. Further, the center shaft at the bottom is equipped with a rigidly applied surrounding magnet 6 to pick up magnetic particles from the fuel. The case for the fuel purifier is made from transparent non-magnetic material that is as clear as glass to make it easier to check when the purifier is filled with contaminations and needs to be emptied and cleaned.
Claims5
Magnetic fuel purifier with rotating pre-purifier for liquid fuel and the like with separation of contaminations, partly by centrifugalizing and partly by magnetic action, comprising a conical pre-purifier (46);
- a tubular, non-magnetic center shaft (42) for supporting the pre-purifier, the center shaft being an inlet for the fuel and having a plurality of through-going ducts (44) for the passage of fuel, said pre-purifier having pitching longitudinal wing blades (48) rotated by the fuel pressure, whereby the fuel is thrown against conical outer walls of the pre-purifier and thereafter falls downwards;
- a conical magnet (40) surrounding and firmly applied to the center shaft below the pre-purifier in such manner that the falling fuel strikes the magnet;
- a collecting container (34) positioned below the magnet;
- a conical filter (50) surrounding the pre-purifier in sucn manner that fuel flows from the collecting container through the conical filter out of the purifier, the conical filter being made from sintered bronze ball material;
- an outer case (22) for holding the pre-purifier, conical magnet, and conical filter and for forming the collecting container;
- and a lid (24) connected to the outer case, the outer case and lid being made from non-magnetic, transparent material;
- said blades (48) of said pre-purifier (46) extending inwardly from the outer walls towards the center shaft (42), said pre-purifier (46) having a closed top with a portion of its upper surface shaped to mate with a portion of the conical filter (50) to thereby center said pre-purifier (46) in said outer case (22), said outer case (22) having a through duct (30) formed in a lower portion thereof communicating with the interior of said center shaft (42) for introducing fuel into said purifier, and said lid (24) having a through duct (32) for passage of purified fuel out of said purifier, said outer walls of said pre-purifier (46) being spaced from and at least partially encompassed by said conical filter (50) so that a fluid flow path is defined therebetween, fuel flowing upwardly from said collecting container (34) into said fluid flow path and through said conical filter (50) into said duct (32) of said lid (24).
