Abstract
A lubricant reclamation system having a moisture absorbent cartridge (). The cartridge () is fabricated placing a Superabsorbant Polymer (SAP) () within a boundary of polyester mesh (). Moisture is extracted from a lubricant or other fluid and absorbed by the SAP. The moisture latent SAP bonds to the polyester mesh (), potentially turning into a gel. A layer of polypropylene sorbent () is placed about the exterior of the boundary material (), ensuring any moisture remains exterior to the sorbent layer (). A resin layer can optionally be placed within a fluid flow following the discharge from polypropylene sorbent extracting aerosol from within the lubricant and as a barrier of detrimental ions with an exchange of beneficial ions. The entire cartridge can be placed within an enclosure or pouch body (). The body () is designed to expand, accommodating a resultant increase in SAP volume. The cartridges can be integrated into filters comprising commonly known filtration elements.
