dirt separator

5462–5463–5465 series

01137/16 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 removes these dirt particles, collecting them in a

large collection chamber from which they can be ﬂushed 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 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 separating action performed by the internal element (1) offers little resistance to the flowing medium while ensuring dirt separation. The particles collide with the concentric diamond pattern mesh surfaces and then settle 2 to the bottom in the dirt collection chamber (2), and not by filtration unlike mesh stainers; which, over time, get progressively clogged.
PAGE 5
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 Separation 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%) 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.
