METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CLEANING A FLUID

摘要

A method and apparatus for cleaning a fluid comprising a fluid supply port (32) for receiving a contaminated fluid; a fluid return port (38) for providing a cleaned fluid; an evaporator (24) for evaporating liquid contaminants from the fluid; a fluid line (34) connecting the evaporator (24) between the fluid supply port (32) and the fluid return port (38); a sensor (22) connected to at least one of the fluid filter (20), the evaporator (24), and the fluid line (34); a controller (28) connected to an output of the sensor (22), wherein the controller (28) includes: a processor (50); and a memory device (52) including computer readable instructions which, when executed by the processor (50) cause the processor (50) to perform the steps of: receiving data from the sensor (22); comparing the data from the sensor (22) to reference data; sending a control signal to at least one of the fluid filter (20) and the evaporator (24) based on comparing the data from the sensor to the reference data.
