International Classification:

B01D 36/02

US Classification:

210 85, 210202, 210209, 210315, 210489

Abstract:

A lubricant reclamation system having a reclamation device () is sectioned into three processing sections: a centralized core section (), a peripheral filtering section (), and a base filtering section (). A series of peripheral conduits () are disposed within the peripheral filtering section () having an entrance port () in communication with an inlet manifold () and discharging via an exit port () in communication with the base filter (), a peripheral filtering material (), or the core filtering section (). The peripheral conduits () can be linear, multi-directional, tapering, and spiraling. The filter is in fluid communication with a series of stacked reclamation members (). The stacked reclamation members () provide processing and/or monitoring of the lubricant via electrical or pneumatic interface.

Abstract:

A lubricant additive dispensing apparatus comprising a base providing a manifold distribution to present lubricant to a series of dispensing chambers. The dispensing chambers are fabricated having a porous sidewall formed in a tubular shape. Additive is stored within a reservoir formed by the tubular shape. A delivery piston is provided proximate and in fluid communication with the manifold. The lubricant applies pressure to the delivery piston. The delivery piston applies pressure to the stored additive. The pressure forces a small volume of additive to pass through the porous sidewall, blending the additive with the flowing lubricant. The reservoir can be formed between an outer tubular member and an inner tubular member. Lubricant can pass through an interior of the inner tubular member, existing a flow discharge port located proximate an end cap assembled to a distal end of the reservoir.

Abstract:

A lubricant reclamation system having a moisture absorbent cartridge (). The cartridge () is fabricated placing a Superabsorbant Polymer (SAP) () within a boundary of polyester mesh (). Moisture is extracted from a lubricant or other fluid and absorbed by the SAP. The moisture latent SAP bonds to the polyester mesh (), potentially turning into a gel. A layer of polypropylene sorbent () is placed about the exterior of the boundary material (), ensuring any moisture remains exterior to the sorbent layer (). A resin layer can optionally be placed within a fluid flow following the discharge from polypropylene sorbent extracting aerosol from within the lubricant and as a barrier of detrimental ions with an exchange of beneficial ions. The entire cartridge can be placed within an enclosure or pouch body (). The body () is designed to expand, accommodating a resultant increase in SAP volume.

Abstract:

A liquid reclamation assembly is provided for processing a lubricant or other liquid. The assembly includes a housing interior for receiving a filter subassembly. A manifold is in fluid communication with a discharge region of the filter subassembly, the manifold comprising a primary manifold passage for passage of source fluid and a series of draw ports. The cross sectional area of the primary manifold passage is greater than the total cross sectional area of the series of draw ports to create a venturi effect to draw fluid through the assembly. The filter subassembly includes a series of target filtration segment, each segment being designed for a specific reclamation process. An entry manifold governs and distributes the fluid to each of the target filtration segments. Results of an analysis of the fluid can be used to determine which target filtration segments are desired for processing the fluid. Valves within the entry manifold can direct the flow accordingly.
