Benefits of technology

The present invention is directed toward an environmentally friendly acid neutralizing filter cartridge for filtering particulates and neutralizing acid in oil. The filter cartridge comprises a support housing that can be readily incinerated. The cartridge includes a full flow particulate filter and a bed of acid neutralizing particles. The cartridge also includes a reactor body with an annular collection chamber and at least one reactor inlet port and outlet port. The reactor body includes an annular outer wall portion, a central tube portion, and a spacer portion. The filter cartridge can be used in an engine oil circuit for filtering and neutralizing acid. The technical effects of the invention include providing an environmentally friendly acid neutralizing filter cartridge that can be easily incinerated and filtering and neutralizing acid in oil.

Problems solved by technology

Instead the primary diesel engine wear component influencing engine life is corrosive wear caused by sulfur and nitrogen containing acids that are formed as products of combustion.
One estimate is that more than 70% of heavy duty diesel engine wear is caused by such combustion acid metal corrosion.

Embodiment Construction

[0021] Referring to FIG. 1, an environmentally friendly acid neutralizing full flow filter cartridge 10 is illustrated in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The filter cartridge 10 is adapted to be installed in a suitable cartridge mounting body 12 that may be positioned along an engine oil circuit that will be later described.

[0022] Referring to the filter cartridge shown in FIG. 1, the support housing or structural components for the filter cartridge are made with substantially no metal support parts such that the filter cartridge can be more completely incinerated for relatively complete disposal of spent filter cartridges. The filter cartridge 10 includes top and bottom end caps 14, 16 that are made of non-metallic material such as injection molded plastic or other suitable non-metallic material. The top end cap includes a plate or cover portion 18 and a downwardly depending radial skirt 20. Preferably a handle 22 is integrally provided along the t...

Abstract

An environmentally friendly acid neutralizing filter cartridge is adapted to be mounted in a cartridge mounting body of an engine oil circuit for filtering particulates and neutralizing acid in oil. The filter cartridge comprises a support housing that comprises substantially no metal parts such that the filter cartridge can be readily incinerated. A full flow particulate filter and a bypass particulate filter are arranged in the support housing. A bed of acid neutralizing particles is contained in the support housing. The housing is configured such that a predetermined primary flow path is defined through the filter cartridge that passes through the full flow particulate filter and bypassing the bed of acid neutralizing particles; and a predetermined bypass path is defined through the filter cartridge that passes, in sequence, through the bed of acid neutralizing particles and the bypass particulate filter.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED PATENT APPLICATIONS [0001] This patent application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60 / 387,240, filed Jun. 7, 2002, and U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60 / 387,235 filed Jun. 7, 2002.FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0002] The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for neutralizing acid in fluid circulating systems. More particularly, the invention is directed toward an apparatus for removing acids from lubrication oil in oil circulating systems such as the oil systems associated with a diesel engine. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003] Heavy duty diesel engine life, or time to rebuild, has historically been linked directly to piston ring, cylinder liner and / or crank shaft bearing life (referred to as “bearings” for sake of simplicity). Engine design parameters require that these engine components be lubricated, typically with a film lubricant of oil separating these engine components to prevent or minimize direct meta...
