Typical Specication
Furnish and install on the plans and describing herein, a DIRTMAG PRO dirt
separator with dual magnets, as manufactured by Caleffi. Each separator
must be designed with a brass body and dirt collection chamber. The dirt
separator must include a glass reinforced nylon PA66G30 internal mesh
element, removable for cleaning, peroxide-cured EPDM hydraulic seal,
brass drain valve with ¾" garden hose connection. Equipped with top
mounted dry-well with magnetic pull rod, neodymium rare-earth, in primary
flow path, and a removable external magnetic collar surrounding the large
collection chamber, neodymium rare-earth. Each separator has 150 psi (10
bar) maximum working pressure and 32 - 250°F (0 - 120°C) operating
temperature range. Particle separation capacity: to 5 μm (0.2 mil). Ferrous
impurities separation efficiency: up to 100% removal. Provide with pre-
formed insulation shell, available separately for field installation Each valve
shall be Caleffi model 5463AM series or approved equal. (See product
instructions for specific installation information.)
CALEFFI
Application
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.
