Available connections: M = Threaded socket V= Vic. F = Flange
Flush water consumption (at minimum working pressure): 2.11 gallons
Filter housing materials: carbon steel coated with baked on epoxy
Filtration Water enters the filter through the "Inlet" (1). The water then reaches the fine screen (2), which purifies the flow by separating smaller particles from the water. As the water flows through, impurities build up on the fine screen. As impurities on the screen accumulate, a pressure imbalance is built up between the internal section of the fine screen (2) and its external section.
Cleaning Process When the difference in pressure reaches the preset value on the electronic control unit (3), a series of events is triggered while water continues to flow to the system units. The flushing valve (4) opens, pressure is released from the hydraulic piston (5), and water flows outside. Pressure in the hydraulic motor chamber (6) and the dirt collector (7) is significantly lowered, and the dirt collector nozzles (8) begin a suction process. The water flows through the hydraulic motor (9) which rotates the dirt collector around its axis. The pressure release from the piston and the high pressure inside the filter causes linear movement of the dirt collector. The combination of linear movement and rotation efficiently cleans the entire internal screen surface.
The flushing cycle takes 5 seconds. The flushing valve closes at the end of the cycle and the increased water pressure returns the system to its initial position. The filter is now ready for the next cycle, with clean and filtered water flowing through the "Outlet: (12).
General Description of the Electronic Control System The electrical system controls the cleaning process through the differential pressure indicator, (10) that closes a circuit and triggers the electronic control unit (3) controlling the opening and closing of the flushing valves (4) via the solenoid valve (11). the flushing cycle, which takes a total of 5 seconds, resumes its operation whenever the difference in pressure reaches the preset pressure value set on the differential pressure indicator. If the difference in pressure remains unchanged after one cycle, another cycle will start after a delay of 25 seconds.
