This invention relates to apparatus for extracting ferrous particles from a body of fluid. More particularly, the invention concerns the use of magnets incorporated in a flexible layer, for attachment directly to the outside of a housing within which the body of fluid is contained or through which the body of fluid flows. The magnetic field generated by the arrangement of magnets affects the largest surface area of the housing and therefore ensures that the maximum amount of fluid comes into the sphere of the magnetic field and is directly affected by the magnetic field. The preferred embodiment of the present invention is directed to the utilization of a reusable form of the inventive apparatus in conjunction with a conventional "throw away" automotive engine filter, a filter for use in an internal combustion engine or a hydraulic fluid system. |
