Abstract:
An oil purification device comprising:a housing, a domed cover covering said housing, an evaporator system having a bottom portion, the evaporator system located within said covered housing for vaporizing impurities in oil to be treated;said housing defining an upper inlet for the introduction of oil to be treated and a lower outlet for delivering treated oil out of the purifier;said domed cover forming an apex defining an aperture for receiving a conduit to allow for the flow of volatile evaporated impurities outside the purifier; andsaid evaporator system positioned within said housing above said lower outlet, said evaporator system having an inlet duct formed at its bottom and fluidly connected to said upper inlet, said evaporator system including a heating chamber providing a means for containing oil to be heated, the chamber having an outer diameter that increases from a top portion to a bottom portion of the chamber, a heating wand for generating heat by electrical resistance located within the heating chambers the heating wand being engulfed by oil contained within the chamber for the evaporation of impurities, a regulator for controlling oil flow into said heating chamber, and an outer surface, said outer surface being cascaded from top to bottom so that when oil is continuously introduced into said heating chamber it cascades around said outer surface of said evaporator system for increased evaporation of impurities purified oil thereafter flowing downwardly to the lower outlet.
