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, 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 DIRTMAG
magnetic dirt separator removes both
ferrous and non-ferrous impurities continuously, featuring
powerful removable magnets that remove up to 95%
of the ferrous impurities, including magnetite, that can
form in a hydronic system, 2 ½ times the removal
performance of a standard dirt separator.
Insulation shells are available separately for brass
models.

    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 ®...

    Draining off dirt and ferrous impurities The dirt separator collection chamber has a drain valve. Using the handle provided it is possible to drain off the accumulated dirt particles even with the system in operation. ® For the brass DIRTMAG captured impurities are easily flushed by unclamping the magnetic collar and purging.
