Dirt separator with dual magnetic fields

5463AM series

Function

In hydronic systems, the circulation of water containing impurities may result

in rapid wear and damage to components such as pumps and control

valves. These impurities also cause blockages in the heat exchangers,

heating elements and pipes, resulting in a lower thermal efﬁciency within

the system. DIRTMAG

PRO removes both ferrous and non-ferrous dirt

particles from the ﬂuid, collecting them in a large collection chamber, from

which they can be drained. This device is capable of efﬁciently removing

even the smallest particles, with extremely limited head loss.

The DIRTMAG PRO dirt separator with dual magnet ﬁelds extends the

Calefﬁ dirt separator family by adding a powerful neodymium magnetic pull

rod inside a drywell inserted into the top of the body within the ﬂow stream.

Additional magnetic ﬂux increases the speed of magnetite (ferrous impurities)

removal from the hydronic ﬂuid for maximum protection.

Insulation shells are available separately.

Operating principle The DIRTMAG PRO is an inline, multi-pass device that continuously removes impurities (a.k.a. “dirt”) with each pass of the hydronic system fluid. This dirt comes from pipes that are not properly cleaned and flushed before connection, and from installation scraps such as copper shavings, pipe tape and solder balls.

Draining off dirt and ferrous impurities Maintenance The dirt separator collection chamber has a drain valve. Using the handle provided it is possible to drain off the accumulated dirt particles. Turn off the circulator before blowdown. To perform annual inspection and maintenance, if needed, simply use a 26 mm hexagon wrench (1) to unscrew the dirt collection chamber, of the DIRTMAG PRO, to which the inner mesh element is connected for removal and cleaning.
