WO1998005405B1 - Permanent magnetic universal filter - Google Patents

Abstract

This invention relates to a universal filter which combines the function of separating metal solids which can cause damages to the systems involved, and producing a filtered fluid through an efficient and long lasting process; it is characterized in that it can be totally dismounted, it is easy to clean and reusable, avoiding the release of contaminant residues to the environment. This filter is applicable and adaptable to many systems where are involved contaminated fluids with suspended metal particles and impurities which shorten the useful life of mechanisms concerned. The optimized filter extends the time between cleaning services for its maintenance.

Claims

 MODIFIED CLAIMS [received by the International Office on February 19, 1998 (02/19/98); original claims 1-3 replaced by modified claims 1-3 (2 pages)] Having sufficiently described my invention I consider as a novelty and therefore claim as my exclusive property, what is contained in the following clauses: Permanent Universal Magnetic Filter composed of a generally cylindrical container that at its ends engages lids (flanges); said covers have conical interiors and contemplate any possibility in the flow path either inlet and outlet in parallel (in the same lid) or linear (in opposite tops), in torrents of flow ₀ in parallel, the top cover may or may not dispose plurality of connecting rods varying both the location, shape and number of them and are coupled by thread or pressure, while the lower cover closes the path of passage and may or may not contain a hole for emergent evacuation in inertible fluids, in torrents linear flow, one of the covers is always for input and the opposite for output ⁵ may or may not have connection rods; said container is characterized in that it houses two chambers; a filtration chamber formed by stainless steel mesh diaphragms of circular and / or tubular type with smooth or plated exposed surface with fabric opening in thousandths of a millimeter, arranged in such a way that diaphragms will be placed in first streams of linear flow circular 0 separated by rings and tubular end locating a deviating flow tray with perforations aligned perimetrally next to the diaphragm of different type, in this case tubular, each component is completely independent giving rise to an own design for each fluid and imparting the desired quality without occupying large ₅ dimensions, the diaphragms with the largest filtering surface (tubular diaphragms) are placed at the points where the distribution or accumulation of undesirable particles is greater by proportional saturation in all the diaphragms; the magnetic chamber has one or more permanent magnets that can be placed together or at a distance but maintaining an optimal coercive force of attraction between them to transfer the magnetic field to any point of the container, in order to energize or expel the nuclei with spin of the fluid ( liquids or gases) giving rise to a nuclear magnetic moment activating the molecules to carry out a complete reaction reducing emissions of waste or inactive particles making selective the product of the desired reaction that in the case of fuels improves combustion, 5 decreases polluting emissions to the environment and provides savings in fuel consumption; in other fluids, the effect is at the level of the link, since the rupture of 9 Some of them like water facilitates filtration by reducing its hardness. All independent components seal by the pressure exerted between them when closing the container and in special points by seals to make it airtight. 2. Magnetic Permanent Universal Filter according to clause 1, characterized in that in the case of flow streams of linear inlet and outlet, the tubular diaphragm can be fixed to the cover, accommodating or not at this point another circular diaphragm. Permanent Universal Magnetic Filter according to clause 1, characterized in that in the case of flow streams of inlet and outlet in parallel, regardless of the location of the magnetic chamber, the filtration chamber is formed in the first instance by the use of telescopic tubular diaphragms, These are arranged in decreasing order of tissue opening of the stainless steel meshes in the direction of the fluid outlet. The diaphragms are supported (by screw or pressure) at one end by a divider, which may or may not attach to the magnetic chamber; The other ends of the telescopic tubular diaphragms can fit directly on the lid (flange) or on the independent piece called retainer, which is the one that is subsequently attached to the lid, placing here or not the magnetic chamber, being able to hold a circular diaphragm at this point , maintaining the joint function of a filtration chamber by gradual distribution and another magnetic activating chamber. 10
