Altecnic Dirtmag Brass Dirt Separator 22mm 546802

In heating and chilled water systems the circulating water will

undoubtedly contain debris which entered the pipework during site

storage and construction.

The debris may consist of pipe scale, thread turnings, rust particles,

thread sealing tape or jointing paste and air bourne dust particles.

If left within the pipework this debris may cause erosion to bends and

fittings, and cause damage to pumps and control valves. Modern

systems contain many small control valves in which the seats could

become damaged or blocked, these types of valve require a clean

system to work efficiently.

Dirt separators are an efficient way of removing debris and are

capable of removing small particles down to 5 μm (microns) in size.

Debris is collected in the large chamber allowing longer periods

between cleaning, which can be done whilst the system is operating.

Dirt separators if cleaned regularly have a low pressure loss

characteristic, important for reducing energy demands and on going

running costs.

Design

The Dirtmag ® dirt separator is manufactured from brass with an

internal filter element and external magnet.
