Fluid reconditioning system

摘要

An evaporation head 410 for a fluid reconditioning system 400, comprising a heat diffuser 415 and a cover 420 together defining an evaporation chamber 480, and a heating element 421 for heating the heat diffuser. The heating element 421 is carried on or by the diffuser 415 such that the heating element is encased by the diffuser 415. The diffuser may have a frusto-conical shape. The diffuser 415 and cover 420 are separate, individual parts with a heat and oil resistant gasket forming a seal. The fluid reconditioning system further comprises a holding canister 450 which contains a filter canister 440 containing cotton. In use, oil enters the system via inlet 475 and is filtered through filter canister 440. The filter oil then passes into the evaporation chamber via passageway 460 and flows in a thin film over heated surfaces 465. Contaminants are vapourised and leave the system via vent 470 while the purified oil leaves via outlet 471.
