Operating principle
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 radial reticular
surfaces. The impurities in the water, on striking these surfaces, get
separated, dropping into the bottom of the body (2) where they
collect.
In addition, the large internal volume of DIRTCAL slows down the
flow speed of the medium thus helping, by gravity, to separate the
particles it contains.
The collected impurities are discharged, even with the system
running, by opening the drain cock (3) with the handle (4).
Construction details
Low head losses and performance maintained over time
The separating action performed by the dirt separator is based on
using the internal element with reticular surfaces in place of an
ordinary filter. The screen, by its nature, offers little resistance to the
flow of medium while ensuring separation.
This occurs due to the particles colliding with the reticular surfaces
and then settling, and not by filtration; an action by which the filter,
over time, gets progressively clogged by the sludge it removes.
All this is to the benefit of performance, that is the high capacity to
separate impurities and the low head losses that remain unaltered
over time.
