Abstract

This thesis is about the development and analysis of portable oil filtration machine of recycled wasted engine oil. The increment of global concern on the mineral resources made recycling engine oil a valuable research in the near decades. Various tribology test and researches have been done on the recycling engine oil, the common procedure before every test is to filter the wasted engine oil into a raw oil usable in test and research. ASTM D7317 is a standard procedure on filtration of wasted engine oil which shows high performance where the expected filtered wasted engine oil is free of impurities and metals, which is also the benchmark of the development of the portable oil filter. The thesis started with the design development of the portable oil filter by choosing the right material and design with various design modelling method, countermeasure of the technical problem faced on the development of the idea of the portable oil filter is discussed. The concepts of methods used to develop and fabricate the portable oil filter is discussed in chapter 3 together with the computer aided analysis methods and software CATIA and AcuSolve. The portable wasted engine oil filter is basically designed to fulfil the engine oil filtration amount of a vehicle (approximately 5L), and made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and stainless steel with vacuum operation based on pump theory. The filter material use cellulose paper with high pressure resistance and high retention rate. The analysis using computer aid software are carried out before the fabrication of the portable oil filter, from the analysis from CATIA and AcuSolve, the design shows good average to reading 3 in factor of safety (FoS) and created a vacuum of 17.37kPa pressure drop that enabled the filtration process to carry out.
