    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.

    Abstract: In an automobile, the apparatus is interposed between the normally provided spin on oil filter and its point of attachment to the engine block. The device is similar in size and shape to a flat cylinder, possessing an internal chamber filled with numerous discrete magnets, a ring magnet with multiple poles, a magnetic grid or sponge, or other filter media. The cylinder is designed with a number of radially disposed holes which allow the pressurized lubricant fluid coming from the normally provided engine oil pump to pass through the puck and into the spin on filter and into the engine. This is the main flow. The radially disposed holes collectively act as an orifice restriction to the flow of oil. A method is suggested to achieve pressure differential between the two sides of the cylinder due to the orifice restriction. A sealed hollow chamber or duct is provided inside the cylinder. Multiple magnets, or other filter media, are placed inside the sealed chamber. Next, diametrically opposed sets of control orifices, carefully sized with predetermined numbers and diameters, are made on the engine side and on the filter side. The orifices in the upstream side and on the downstream side, effectively become the intake and exhaust of a self-contained magnetic bypass filter respectively. The puck is easily secured by means of a threaded nipple. A set of fins is placed around the cylinder to include the additional function of bypass flow cooling.

    Abstract: The present invention teaches a method and apparatus to quickly and inexpensively implement advanced filtration to engines and systems using spin-on oil filter by using a system adapter sandwiched between the spin-on oil filter and the engine block affixed by a nipple adapter. The system adapter has the ability to make quick hydraulic connection to the inlet and outlet of a bypass grade or advanced filter, where oil is super cleaned, without modifications to the engine 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. A differential pressure between said inlet and outlet side of the advanced filter is complemented by a Venturi effect made possible by the special architecture of the nipple adapter as oil rushes through the nipple adapter to the lubricating galleries of an engine or system, further aided by the kinetic energy of the lubricant passing through the system adapter. These effects are supplemented by a controlled system that can increase said differential pressure by a spring biased diaphragm or stopper or though a plurality of solenoid biased plunger control system to ensure bypass filtration flow during loaded conditions. When connected to the normally provided stud for the spin-on oil filter in an engine or 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. Where the benefits of fine filtration are available to the general public due to its easy and quick installation, size, functionality, eliminated plumbing and reduced labor requirements. The system includes accessories to alarm for no flow condition, plugged filters, heat exchangers, oil condition sensor, booster pumping, prelubrication, oil evacuation, oil additive makeup, parallel connection of coolers and other apparatus, among others.

    Abstract: An oil filter pump system for automatically prelubricating an internal combustion engine, uses a well known conventional oil filter design further including inlet and outlet check valves and a flexible membrane operatively connected to a prime mover. The prime mover actuates the flexible membrane back and forth from an unbiased at rest position according to an operating cycle programmed into an electronic controller. The electronic controller switches control power from the normally provided battery according to an operating cycle. The elapsed time of the operating cycle is smaller than the elapsed time for the previous prelubricating cycle to become ineffective from oil dripping from working surfaces desired to be protected from wear. The alternate movement of the flexible membrane cooperating with the inlet and outlet check valve scheme converts the conventional oil filter into an effective diaphragm pump readily connected to the normally provided engine lubricating galleries for the purpose of discharging a portion of lubricating fluid removed from the normally provided oil sump in a conventional internal combustion engine. In another embodiment, an adapter kit assembly is made to mate to a conventional oil filter by means of clamping the assembly around the conventional oil filter. A set of orifices is easily punctured in the upper wall of the conventional oil filter. An inlet and outlet check valve scheme is provided and with a prime mover alternately moving a flexible membrane in the adapter kit, converts the combination into an effective diaphragm pump. Power transmission means to the flexible membrane can be pneumatic, mechanical, electromagnetic, hydraulic, among others. According to another aspect of the invention, a method for automatically prelubricating an engine includes the steps of providing an electronic controller means coupled to a pump for automatically switching control power from the battery to the prime mover according to an operating cycle program. Programming the electronic controller with the operating cycle program which is defined as the elapsing of a first period of time added to the elapsing of a second period of time. Actuating the oil filter pump during the elapsing of the first period of time to pump and discharge the lubricating oil contained in the oil sump into the engine lubricating galleries. Thereafter, elapsing of the second period of time. And, thereafter repeating the operating cycle whereby by continuously repeating the operating cycle the engine is automatically prelubricated and primed, and protected from wear by simultaneous priming and prelubricating.

    Abstract: Vehicles or machinery equipped with full flow spin-on, canister or reusable filters can benefit by including advanced or bypass grade parallel filtration. Incorporating advanced filtration is generally difficult due to impractical lubrication system access, cramped engine bays, and some installation solutions require engine modifications and hardware. An apparatus of the present invention provides advanced filtration when used inside well-known manufactured forms of spin-on, cartridge, or reusable filters. The unit installs as a complete unit, without modifications, or external hardware to any engine at the spin-on filter point of attachment, inside the canister housing, or inside a reusable filter form. The apparatus uses the structures of the normally provided filter to enable a bolt-on installation. The apparatus increases filtration efficiency, capacity, easier maintenance, while providing environmental benefits.
