ABSTRACT:
A bypass oil refining device for an internal combustion engine is separated into lower and upper portions having a disposable cartridge containing a porous filtering material and a vaporization chamber, respectively. The improvements include a casing which has a stationary upper portion with an oil inlet, an oil outlet and a vapor vent. The lower portion is removable and is releasably secured to the upper portion. The lower casing portion contains a disposable filter cartridge. A vaporization plate completely separates the filter cartridge from the vaporization chamber so that oil filtered by the filter cartridge can reach the vaporization chamber only by means of a narrow central conduit which leads to an atomization screen through which oil is atomized and laterally dispersed into the vaporization chamber. A vent includes a check valve to prevent air from flowing into the vaporization chamber and to prevent oil from leaving through the vent should the oil level rise into the vent. The vaporization plate is formed with a raised center and concentric, descending tiers, the peripheries of which are configured to guide cascading oil into downward spiral paths of flow to increase the time during which oil is heated in the vaporization chamber.
