Oil migration system
View Patent ↗An apparatus and a system is provided that may be utilized to determine oil migration and oil displacement from a pre-oiled air filter. The present invention may also be utilized to determine if oil is displaced from the air filter onto a portion of the apparatus for visualization to a user. The present invention utilizes a demonstration apparatus having a system for forcing air through the oil subjected air filter thereby attempting to force displacement of the oil from the air filter. The apparatus utilizes a blowing means whereby the oil infused air filter is subject to higher than normal air flow and whereby the apparatus has a deflection portion whereby if oil is displaced from the air filter, it is deflected onto the deflection portion where it would be physically viewable to an observer present in the vicinity of the apparatus.
1. An apparatus for determining oil displacement from a filtration media, the apparatus comprising:
a container means having at least a side, and a top and bottom portion;
an accommodation portion whereby the accommodation portion has an opening thereon for accommodating an air filtration media wherein the accommodation portion holds an air filtration media;
a blower means for directing air flow through the air filtration media; and
an extension receptacle positioned above the air filtration media wherein the extension receptacle positioned above the air filtration media has a top portion, a bottom portion and two side portions whereby a wedge is formed between the two side portions wherein said wedge extends downwards from the bottom portion of the extension receptacle.
2. The apparatus of claim 1 further comprising:
a channel connecting the blower means to the accommodation portion whereby the blower means directs forced air into the accommodation portion and through the air filtration media.
3. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the air filtration media is a vehicle air filter.
4. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the container means has at least one transparent portion whereby a viewer may observe the interior portion of the container means.
5. The apparatus of claim 1 further comprising:
the extension receptacle being constructed of white powder coated aluminum to facilitate observation of any particles displaced thereto.
6. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein a front portion and the top portion and side portions of the container means are constructed of clear plexi-glass.
7. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the extension receptacle is constructed of a light material whereby any displaced byproducts will be observable to a viewer.
8. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the extension receptacle has a wedge extending downwardly away from a bottom portion of the receptacle to be in closer contact with the air filtration media whereby if any particle is displaced from the air filtration media, it will be attracted to and adhered to the wedge of the extension receptacle.
9. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the blower means is device capable of forcing air through an air filtration media.
10. A system for determining displacement from a filtration media, the system comprising:
a container means having an accommodation portion whereby the accommodation portion has an opening thereon for accommodating an air filtration media;
a blower means for directing air through the air filtration media; and
an extension portion positioned above the air filtration media wherein the extension portion has a wedge shaped portion extending downwardly from the bottom portion of the extension portion to be in proximity to the air filtration media wherein the extension portion positioned above the air filtration media extends above the air filtration media and covers the entire width and length of the air filtration media.
11. A system for determining displacement from a filtration media, the system comprising:
a container means having an accommodation portion whereby the accommodation portion has an opening thereon for accommodating an air filtration media wherein the accommodation portion may be constructed to fit a plurality of different air filtration media;
a blower means for directing air through the air filtration media; and
an extension portion positioned above the air filtration media wherein the extension portion has a wedge shaped portion extending downwardly from the bottom portion of the extension portion to be in proximity to the air filtration media.
12. A system for determining displacement from a filtration media, the system comprising:
a container means having an accommodation portion whereby the accommodation portion has an opening thereon for accommodating an air filtration media;
a blower means for directing air through the air filtration media wherein the blower means is a blower capable of blowing air through the air filtration media at a rate greater than two times the normal operating air flow of the air filtration media's normal vehicle operating air velocities; and
an extension portion positioned above the air filtration media wherein the extension portion has a wedge shaped portion extending downwardly from the bottom portion of the extension portion to be in proximity to the air filtration media.
