Patent number: 10436730Abstract: A system for measuring the state of degradation of cooking oil in a deep fryer is provided. The system includes a loop of piping fluidly connected to a fryer for selectively allowing flow of oil from the fryer and into the loop and for returning to the fryer. A pump urges the flow of cooking oil through the loop of piping and selectively to urge oil to return to the at least one fryer pot. The loop further comprises a return portion that extends from a discharge of the pump toward a suction of the pump. A sensor is disposed in the return portion of the loop and adapted to measure an electrical property that is indicative of total polar materials of said cooking oil. A vent line is provided in the return portion of the loop.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2016Date of Patent: October 8, 2019Assignee: Pitco Frialator, Inc.Inventors: Nathaniel A. Lambert, Michael T. Fecteau, Jason D. Finnie, Jared C. Perkins
