DIRTCAL™ Dirt Separator

series 5462 - 5465 - NA5465

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 separates off these impurities, which are mainly

made up of particles of sand and rust, collecting them in a large

collection chamber, from which they can be removed even while

the system is in operation.

This device is capable of efficiently removing even the smallest

particles, with very low head loss.

Patented.

Geometric structure and large dirt collection chamber The geometrical structure of DIRTCAL means that, inside it, the flow speed is slowed down to help separate the particles of impurities. The dirt collection chamber has the following features: - It is located at the bottom of the device at such a distance from the connections that the collected impurities are not affected by the swirl of the flow through the screen.

Installation The dirt separator must always be installed in a vertical position, preferably on the return circuit upstream of the boiler (or chiller). This enables it to intercept impurities already present in the circuit, particularly when it is first started, before they reach the boiler (or chiller).
