The geometrical structure of DIRTCAL
®
means that, inside it, the velocity is
reduced to help separate dirt particles. The dirt collection chamber has the
following features:
- It is located at the bottom of the device at such a distance from the
connections that the collected dirt is not affected by the swirl of the flow
through the mesh element.
- It has enough capacity to increase the amount of dirt stored and therefore
decreases the frequency of emptying it compared to filters that need to be
cleaned frequently.
- It is easily inspected by unscrewing it from the valve body for servicing the
internal mesh element when large debris are trapped in it.

The dirt separating action performed by the dirt separator is based
on using the internal element with concentric diamond pattern mesh
surfaces instead of a mechanical filter. The element offers little resistance
to the medium flow while ensuring dirt separation. This occurs due to the
particles colliding with the concentric diamond pattern mesh surfaces and
then settling to the bottom, and not by filtration; which, over time, gets
continuously clogged. By contrast, the DIRTCAL
®
low-velocity-zone dirt
separator efficiently removes the particles to as small as 5 μm (0.2 mil)
with very low head loss. The dirt collection chamber at the bottom of the
DIRTCAL
®
is at the right distance from the inlet and outlet connections
that the collected dirt particles are not affected by the swirling flow
through the mesh element. The dirt can then be removed through the
bottom drain port even with the system running, by opening the drain cock
with the handle.
