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 the heat exchangers, heating

elements and pipes, resulting in a lower thermal

efficiency within the system. The dirt separator

separates off these dirt particles, 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

extremely limited head loss.

The sweat connection product is available in

versions for horizontal and vertical pipe

installations. The magnetic dirt separator is

available with NPT threaded or sweat connections

in versions for horizontal pipes only. Insulation

shells are available separately for field installation

for horizontal versions of the DIRTCAL

and

DIRTMAG

dirt separators.

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 dirt particles already present in the circuit, particularly when it is first started, before they reach the boiler (or chiller). Flow direction for the DIRTCAL and DIRTMAG dirt separators is bi-directional; flow in either direction is permitted.

Draining off dirt The dirt separator collection chamber has a ball drain cock. Using the handle provided it is possible to drain off the accumulated dirt particles even with the system in operation. Procedure for removing insulation and draining dirt particles in the DIRTMAG series 5463 WARNING: The symbol shown on the removable ring indicates the presence of magnets that generate a strong magnetic field. This could cause damages to electronic devices kept in its proximity. 1.

Use of top connector The connector on top of the dirt separator can be used for optional installation of an automatic air vent valve, Caleffi code 502243A for the threaded or sweat versions- 5462 Series (A), replacing the standard 1/2" NPT Male plug (pn NA10044). Use Caleffi code 501502A for the flanged version 5465 Series (C) -replacing the standard 3/4" NPT End Cap (pn 41525).
