ABSTRACT:
The apparatus separates exhaust fumes of an internal combustion engine into gas, liquid, and solids and comprises a container having an internal wall for substantially reducing the velocity of fumes fed into the container and allows the liquid and solids to collect in the bottom thereof with the fumes then passing through a demister filter to further separate same. A liquid level sensor connects to the container and senses when a maximum level is reached. The sensor may be of a float type and also can control a spring loaded valve in the fumes inlet passageway and/or a gauge connected by vertically spaced passageways through the side of the container, the latter gauge also could include an audible or visible alarm. A valved outlet is attached to the container for forcing the collected liquid in the container therethrough by the pressure of the incoming fumes when a plate covers the gas outlet above the filter. A valved cover may be employed to accomplish the same results while returning the cleansed exhaust gas to the engine. A pivoted bar is pivotally attached to the bottom of the container to break up any solids deposited therein.
