Typical Specification
Furnish and install on the plans and described herein, a Caleffi
DISCALDIRTMAG
®
magnetic air and dirt separator as manufactured by
Caleffi. Each separator must be designed with a brass body with large
internal volume, seals in EPDM, blowdown drain port, and removable glass-
reinforced nylon fiber mesh (PA66GF30) internal element screen/coalscing
medium to automatically remove all air present in the system and all dirt
present in the system, with particle separating capacity to 5μm (0.2 mil), and
an external neodymium rare-earth magnet belt, removable for purging, with
up to 100% ferrous impurities, including magnetitie, separation efficiency.
Each air and dirt separator shall be a Caleffi model 5461 or approved equal.
(See product instructions for specific installation information.)
DISCAL
®
magnetic air and dirt separator
5461 Series, Brass
CALEFFI
Application
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 DISCAL DIRTMAG
®
magnetic air and dirt separator removes both ferrous and non-ferrous
impurities continuously, featuring powerful removable magnets that
remove up to 100% of the ferrous impurities, including magnetite, that
can form in a hydronic system. DISCAL DIRTMAG
®
has 2 ½ times the
removal performance of a standard dirt separator. The air discharge
capacity is very high, with the capability of automatically removing
100% of the air present in the system down to micro-bubble level.
