HARMSCO Hurricane HUR 170 HP Installation & Operation Manual

INSTALLATION & OPERATION MANUAL
HARMSCO
® ®
HARMSCO Hurricane Filters provide exceptionally long filter runs, reduced maintenance and lower filtration costs
when used as combination centrifugal separator and cartridge filter or in conventional filtration applications.
Centrifugal Separation to
Remove Dense Particles
from Liquids
Liquid enters the Hurricane filter's outer cham-
ber tangentially, producing a rotational flow. This
flow pattern creates a centrifugal force which is
used to separate dense particles such as sand,
rust, grit and metal fines from liquids. Heavy
particles drop to the bottom of the filter's outer
chamber where they are discharged manually,
automatically or continuously. With the dense
particles removed, liquid and light solids rise
up, over and into an inner chamber where the
rotational flow is continued.

FILTERS
Up-flow Cartridge Filtration and
Angled Pleats for Lightweight
Particle Removal
Trapped air is automatically purged due to principal
of up-flow filtration. Filtered liquid exits the filter
at the highest point, as it is filtered. A secure top
plate prevents cross contamination of filtered and
unfiltered liquid. This patented up-flow design
allows Harmsco to utilize 100% of cartridge
surface area, providing efficient filtration. Filter
efficiencies are dramatically improved to provide
longer filter runs and reduced filtration costs.
Harmsco ® Hurricane
Waterbetter filters are available in a wide range
®
of micron ratings and may be cleaned and re-used
in most applications and most micron ratings.
