Pe-trole-um-fil′ter. One for removing dirt and foreign matter from petroleum. They are of several kinds. The tank with filtering material in a false bottom, which acts as a strainer. The centrifugal filter, which acts on a similar principle to the sugar-filter shown at Figs. 1213, 1214, page 514. The piston-filter, wherein the piston forces before it the foul matter, the oil escaping through the foraminous folds of the piston. Fig. 3657 is a piston-filter. The oil is admitted to the vessel A through the pipe C, and the filtering piston E is caused to descend: the impurities are forced downward by the piston and collect in the funnel-shaped false bottom M, while the pure oil passes through the piston, and, collecting above it, is drawn off by the cock K.

Fig. 7346 is on the principle of the centrifugal machine, illustrated at Figs. 1213. 1214. and elsewhere The foraminous cylinder is charged with wool and rotated; superheated steam is admitted above and ejected by its own pressure toward the outlet, assisted by the blast produced by the peripheral fans. The moisture in the wool is thus evaporated and removed. Fig. 7347 is on a much larger scale A dryingcham-ber is placed vertically between a heater and a blower.
