Abstract: A magnetic filtration device for installing into an opening of a reservoir, including, but not limited to acting as a replacement to a standard drain plug commonly positioned at the bottom of the reservoir. The magnetic filtration device may attract and capture magnetic (ferromagnetic) particulate circulating throughout a mechanical system. Applications for the device include engines, motors, pumps, compressors, gear boxes, transmissions, hydraulic systems, fuel systems and generators. The magnetic filtration device may comprise a magnet core enclosed within a magnet casing, with additional rods affixed to and/or arranged around the magnet casing to alter the radius of the magnetic field.

Abstract: Magnetic filter systems may be constructed with various arrangements of permanent magnets, including but not limited to checkerboard and spiral arrangements. When coupled to a conventional filter, exemplary magnetic filter systems capture ferrous particulates against the outer wall of the conventional filter by magnetic attraction, thereby reducing the number of particulates in a fluid stream and improving the quality of the filtered fluid.
