OIL RECLAIMING DEVICE

There is provided an improvement in an oil reconditioning device adapted to remove liquid and solid contaminants from lubricating oil. The device has a housing with a lower inlet, and a cover for capping the housing. The filter chamber is in the lower portion of the housing, containing a filter medium. Above the filter chamber is a preheating chamber, and above that is a vaporization chamber. Between the latter two chambers is a vaporization plate containing aperture means interconnecting the preheating and vaporization chambers. Heatingmeans is located in the cover, along with vent means for allowing gaseous material to leave the vaporization chamber. Within the vaporization chamber is located heat-conductive, metal mesh material which is in contact with both the cover andthe vaporization plate, thereby to conduct heat from the cover to the vaporization plate, and to bring about some turbulence in the oil flowing through the vaporization chamber. An outlet for oil is provided through the housing, in communication with the vaporization chamber.
