Apparatus for the removal of ferrous particles from liquids
First Claim
1. In combination with a canister having a sheet material outer wall enclosing an internal chamber, said outer wall having an exterior surface and a smooth walled interior surface, a liquid containing entrained ferrous metal particles to circulate through said internal chamber along a flow path, a magnetic assembly for removing said entrained ferrous particles from said liquid, said magnetic assembly comprising:
- magnet means mounted on the exterior surface of said sheet material outer wall; and
an annular sleeve located within said internal chamber, said annular sleeve positioned against said interior surface closely conforming to said interior surface, said annular sleeve having a radially inner surface positioned adjacent said flow path, said inner surface having a plurality of annular grooves formed therein adapted to catch said ferrous particles locating said ferrous particles out of the flow path of said liquid, said magnet means causing said ferrous particles to move from said flow path into said annular grooves and to remain in said annular grooves.

Abstract
A magnetic assembly for removing small entrained ferrous particles from a liquid flow path where the magnetic assembly is to be positioned against a canister or conduit through which the liquid is to flow. A ferrous material flux amplifier band is positioned against the exterior surface of the magnetic assembly. The magnetic assembly will generally be composed of a plurality of separate magnets located in a spaced apart manner. The flux amplifier band is to cover the entire outer surface of the magnetic assembly and also the ends of the magnetic assembly. At the ends, the flux amplifier is spaced from the ends of the magnetic assembly. The surface of the magnetic assembly then is in direct contact with the canister or conduit and precisely conforms to the exterior configuration of the canister or conduit. The interior surface of the canister or conduit is hiatused to form pockets which are to function to catch the entrained ferrous particles within the liquid locating these ferrous particles out of the flow path of the liquid. These pockets could be directly formed on the interior wall of the canister or conduit or could be included within a sleeve which is mounted in a close conforming manner with the interior wall of the canister or conduit. The magnetic assembly and the flux amplifier band could be incorporated within a clamping band with the clamping band including hinge means permitting segmental disengagement of the clamping band from the canister or conduit.
