dirt separator

5462–5463–5465–NA5469–NA5465 series

01137/13 NA

Function

In heating and air conditioning control systems, the circulation of

water containing impurities may result in rapid wear and damage

to components such as pumps and control valves. It also causes

blockages in heat exchangers, heating elements and pipes, resulting in

lower thermal efﬁciency within the system.

The dirt separator separates off these dirt particles which are mainly

made up of particles of sand and rust, collecting them in a large

collection chamber, from which they can be removed even while the

system is in operation. This device is capable of efﬁciently removing even

the smallest particles, with very low head loss.

The DIRTMAG

magnetic dirt separator removes both magnetic and

non-magnetic particles continuously, featuring a powerful removable

external magnet around the body that removes up to 95% of the ferrous

oxide particles that can form in a hydronic system.

The sweat connection product is available in versions for horizontal and

vertical pipe installations. The magnetic dirt separator is available with

NPT threaded or sweat connections in versions for horizontal pipes only.

Insulation shells are available separately for ﬁeld installation for horizontal

Operating principle Construction details The dirt separator operating principle is based on the combined action of a number of physical phenomena. The internal element (1) is composed of a set of concentric diamond pattern mesh surfaces. The dirt in the water strikes these surfaces, separates and drops into the bottom of the body (2) where they collect. In addition, the large internal volume of DIRTCAL® slows down the velocity of the medium and with the help of gravity, separates the contained particles.
PAGE 4
Vertical DIRTCAL® DIRTMAG® The vertical DIRTCAL dirt separator efficiently removes dirt particles with significantly less clogging of the internal mesh element compared to normal Y-strainers. Additionally, the large dirt collection chamber requires less frequent cleaning, which can be done by simply opening the drain valve to discharge t h e a c c u mu la t e d di r t particles, even with the system running.

It increases as the size and mass of the dirt particle increases. The larger and heavier dirt particles drop before the lighter ones. 2.
