Abstract:
The present invention teaches a method and apparatus to quickly and inexpensively implement advanced, bypass grade, fine, or additional filtration to engines and hydraulic systems. The present invention has the ability to make quick hydraulic connection to the engine or hydraulic system, where oil is super cleaned, without major modifications as is the paradigm by traditional bypass filtration systems and without removing any lubricant from the engine or system that the present invention is connected to, as is the paradigm of traditional bypass filtering systems. When connected to the normally provided stud for the spin-on oil filter in an engine or hydraulic system, the net effect of interest to the present invention is that by simply placing the adapter at the point of connection of the spin-on oil filter, many of the necessary plumbing associated with the traditional bypass filter installation is obviated, as is the energy and labor intensive process of seeking for a pressure point and a return of the oil. The present invention relies on the differential pressure effected by either alone or in combination of an orifice restriction to effect flow of either engine oil or hydraulic fluid, to route through a high efficiency filter, in trapping and low pressure to flow, an amount of dirty oil and then to return same amount to reconstitute a total flow on the system, whereby supplemental or advanced filtration is quickly connected to an engine or hydraulic system.

Claim (Index 6):
A kit for use in implementing serial advanced filtration in a fluid filtration system, said filtration system having a support mount of a fluid gallery and a first filter, said kit comprising:\n an adapter body comprising an inner bore, a first flow passage disposed radially outward from the inner bore and configured to direct a primary flow portion of a total fluid flow from an inlet of the adapter body to a first outlet of the adapter body, a second flow passage disposed radially outward from the inner bore and the first flow passage and configured to direct a secondary flow portion of the total fluid flow from the inlet of the adapter body to a second outlet of the adapter body, and a third flow passage that extends between an inlet opening on an outer surface of the adapter body and fluidly connected to said first outlet; an adapter nipple configured to extend through the inner bore of the adapter body to affix the adapter between said support mount and said first filter, having a nipple flow passage to channel said total fluid flow during use; and a pair of conduits to connect the second outlet with an inlet of a second filter and to connect said inlet opening to an outlet of the second filter.
