dirt separator

5462–5463–5465-5465M–NA5465-NA5465M series

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 efﬁ ciency within the system.

The dirt separator removes these dirt particles, collecting them in a

large collection chamber from which they can be ﬂ ushed even while the

system is in operation. This device is capable of efﬁ ciently removing even

the smallest particles, with very low head loss.

The DIRTMAG

magnetic 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. The DIRTMAG

has 2 ½ times the

removal performance of a standard dirt separator.

Insulation shells are available separately for brass models.

1 Operating principle DIRTCAL Construction details 2 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 2 dirt in the water strikes these surfaces, separates and drops into the bottom of the body (2) where they collect.
PAGE 4
Operating principle DIRTMAG ® Non-ferrous and ferrous impurities, including magnetite, in hydronic systems can deposit onto heat exchanger surfaces and accumulate in pump cavities causing reduced thermal efficiency and premature wear. The small and often microscopic magnetic particles, called magnetite, form when iron or steel corrodes. Highly abrasive, the extremely fine particles are difficult to remove by traditional means.

Particle separation capacity — dirt separator efficiency The capacity for separating the dirt in the medium circulating in the closed circuits of the hydronic systems depends on three factors: Efficiency (%) ( Separated quantity Initial quantity 100 Efficiency 50 passages (2 f/s) .100%) Separation efficiency Efficiency 50 passages (4 f/s) 1. It increases as the size and mass of the dirt particle increases. The larger and heavier dirt particles drop before the lighter ones. 2.
