Magnetic particle filtration apparatus
First Claim
1. An apparatus for separating magnetic particles from a fluid, said apparatus comprising:
- a) a tubular housing comprising an interior surface, an exterior surface, a first inlet port, a first outlet port, a second outlet port, and a channel;
b) a tubular filter medium disposed within said tubular housing and comprising an inner surface and an outer surface, said filter medium partitioning said channel into a first passageway between said first inlet port of said tubular housing and said second outlet port of said tubular housing, and a second passageway in communication with said first outlet port of said tubular housing; and
c) a wire coil wound around said exterior surface of said tubular housing, said wire coil comprising a first lead and a second lead.

Abstract
An apparatus for separating magnetic particles from a fluid, the apparatus comprising a tubular housing comprising an interior surface, an exterior surface, a first inlet port, a first outlet port, a second outlet port, and a channel; a tubular filter medium disposed within the tubular housing and comprising an inner surface and an outer surface, the filter medium partitioning the channel into a first passageway between the first inlet port of the tubular housing and the second outlet port of the tubular housing, and a second passageway in communication with the first outlet port of the tubular housing; and a wire coil wound around the exterior surface of the tubular housing, the wire coil comprising a first lead and a second lead. In operation, the wire coil is connected to a direct current power supply to effect enhanced separation of magnetic particles from a flowing fluid stream.
