PRODUCTS & SERVICES - CYCLONE FILTERS

CSF SERIES FOR FILTRATION OF CLOSED CIRCUIT SYSTEMS SUCH AS HEATING AND CHILLED WATER SYSTEMS

The Problem
Dirt, debris, swarf, welding splatter and mill-scale are all incorporated into closed circuit water systems during construction. The complexity of pipework design in modern buildings means that it is impossible to remove all this contamination by pre-commission cleaning and flushing.

The Solution
CSF Sidestream filters remove suspended solids and debris from the system down to less than 20 micron, to ensure systems achieve and maintain design performance with the minimum of maintenance throughout their working life, eliminating blockages and ensuring continuation of operation controls.

CSF Sidestream filters incorporated during construction will augment the pre-commission cleaning and flushing to rapidly remove mill-scale, rust and debris incorporated in the system during construction, reducing the risk of blockages and damage to valves and equipment.

By continuously removing and preventing any accumulation of suspended solids, CSF filters enable chemical corrosion inhibitors and biocides to work effectively, maintaining system integrity and ensuring reliable and trouble free operation of controls.

Any debris introduced by modification and alterations to the system subsequent to commissioning will be rapidly removed by the CSF Sidestream Filter, ensuring ongoing plant reliability.

CSF Sidestream Filters can also be used with mild dispersants to effectively clean up old or fouled systems with minimum of disruption

Applications
Heating Systems
Chilled Water Systems
Glycol Systems using zero liquid loss dirt collector
Brine Systems using zero liquid loss dirt collector
Thermal Fluid Systems using zero liquid loss dirt collector
High Pressure Hot Water Systems
Versatemp Systems

Benefits

• Continuous Filtration with no change in pressure loss - can be used in mainstream flow. No variation in pressure loss or flow rate as dirt is collected.

• No Backwash Required - filtered dirt is purged to drain with minimum water loss whilst service flow is maintained.

• Zero Water Loss Option - when fitted with closed recovery dirt collector the unit will operate with no system water loss, ideally suited to glycol and brine systems. Allows visual inspection of dirt removed.

• Compact Easily Installed - can normally be fitted as sidestream filter using existing connections. High filtration with minimal plantroom are required.

• Easily Integrated into System Design - fixed flow and pressure loss characteristics and continuous flow capability allow units to be easily integrated into systems at the design stage.

• Filtration to less than 20 micron - progressive removal of particulates down to 5 micron on recirculating systems.

• Prevents Valve and Control Problems - installed for at least 3 months following commissioning of new installations, COBRA cyclone systems will remove any remaining silt and debris following pre-commissioned cleaning preventing problems control equipment and valves. Especially applicable to sensitive fan coil systems which are difficult to flush and which incorporate complex and sensitive control valves.
