Abstract
A particle separator including a rotor disposed inside a housing. The rotor has a plurality of magnetic sections that are arranged with alternating poles. A drive rotates the rotor to generate a changing magnetic field. Magnetic particles and non-magnetic conductive particles are removed from a liquid that flows through the particle separator. The magnetic particles attach to the rotor and the non-magnetic conductive particles are repelled away from the rotor by the changing magnetic field.
