A magnetic filtration apparatus to separate contaminant material from a fluid comprises a housing 100 having first 102 and second 103 elongate chambers, wherein the first chamber is in fluid communication with a fluid inlet 109 and the second chamber is in fluid communication with a fluid outlet 110. The volume of the first chamber is less than the volume of the second chamber such that a fluid flow speed in the first chamber is greater than a fluid flow speed in the second chamber. A first magnetic core 107 extends axially within the first chamber and a second magnetic core 108 extends axially within the second chamber to entrap contaminant material. A passageway (502, Fig. 5) connects the first and second chambers such that the fluid flows passed the full length of the first core in a first direction, through the passageway and passed the full length of the second core in a second direction opposed to the first direction. A lid 112 is movably mounted to close an open end. The first and second cores are mounted upon a cartridge 116 to facilitate collective removal and insertion of the cores from/to the apparatus. |
