Dynamic filtration system and associated methods

摘要

Dynamic filtration systems and associated methods are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, for example, a filtration system can include a filter device having a body portion positioned between first and second end portions and a filter media in a cavity defined by the body portion. The filter media can be configured to filter a predetermined substance from a ferrofluid. The filter device can further include a coil at the body portion, a first magnetic plate proximate the first end portion and a second magnetic plate proximate the second end portion. The coil can generate a first magnetic field across the body portion, and the first and second magnetic plates interact to form a second magnetic field across the body portion. The first and second magnetic fields can be configured to drive filtration of the ferrofluid.

主权项

1. A filter device, comprising:
a housing having a body portion between a first end portion and a second end portion, the first end portion having a first opening, the second end portion having a second opening, and the body portion defining a cavity between the openings; an architectural construct in the cavity of the housing configured to filter a predetermined substance; and a first and a second magnetic field element, wherein the first and second magnetic field elements interact to form a magnetic field across the body portion, and wherein the magnetic field is configured to drive and/or treat filtration of the predetermined substance.
