How does the COT Oil Processor work?
The COT Oil Processor is a by-pass oil cleaning system that removes both solid and liquid contaminants. Contaminated oil enters the COT Oil Processor at a slow flow rate. First, the oil enters the Filter Unit under pressure supplied by the engine’s oil pump. Solid contaminants such as wear metal particles, carbon, sludge, soot, dirt, silica and other foreign material down to the size of one micron are removed in the progressive cotton filter element. After being filtrated in the Filter Unit, the oil, now free of solid contaminants, enters the heated Evaporation Unit through a metering jet that reduces the oil pressure to atmospheric pressure. The oil flows over a heated diffuser plate where liquid contaminants such as fuel, anti-freeze or water are evaporated and ventilated. The oil that is now free from both solid and liquid contaminants is finally gravity-fed back to the engine.
