FILTER HAVING MAGNETIC COMPONENTS AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING SAME

摘要

A filter (10) comprised of a housing (12) having an inlet (14) and an outlet (16), the inlet (14) and outlet (16) defining a fluid path through the filter (10) and a filter medium (18) located in the fluid flow path. Fluid flowing in through the inlet (14) is directed through the filter medium (18). Molded directly to the surface of the filter medium is a polymer bonded magnetic material (20) positioned such that fluid flowing through the filter (10) is directed over the polymer-bonded magnetic material (20).
