Abstract
An apparatus is disclosed for enhancing the performance of filters, particularly oil filters for internal combustion engines. The apparatus includes a frame having a top and bottom section connected together by a plurality of spaced longitudinal elements. The longitudinal elements are disposed radially apart from the filter housing so as to create a flow path for circulating air to cool the fluid within the filter. A magnet is mounted in the bottom section to help attract small magnetic particles which may not have been removed by the filtering medium within the filter. A wire coil is mounted in the top section to further assist in removal of suspended magnetic particles and to aid in precipitation of carbonaceous materials suspended in the circulating oil.
