OFFLINE FILTRATION DEVICE AND METHOD

摘要

An apparatus, system and method are provided for controlling fluid flow through a vacuum chamber of a dehydration system, the vacuum chamber having a temperature sensing device operative to measure a temperature of a fluid in the vacuum chamber. A temperature difference between a temperature setpoint for the fluid and the measured temperature of the fluid is determined, and fluid is recirculated through the vacuum chamber while the temperature difference is greater than a predetermined temperature difference. While the temperature difference is less than the predetermined temperature difference, the fluid is recirculated through the vacuum chamber for a predetermined time period, and upon the predetermined time period expiring inhibiting recirculation of the fluid through the vacuum chamber.
