Mobile reverse osmosis system AVRO-flex 400 AVRO is an alternative anti-scaling process to the common traditional 3.1 Functional princi- ple of the AVRO processes of "softening" or “antiscalant dosing”. Contrary to these system processes, AVRO does not require any addition of auxiliary additives.
1 | Type designation plate You may find the type designation plate at the housing of the mobile reverse osmosis system AVRO-flex 400. In order to speed up the pro- cessing of your inquiries or orders, please specify the data shown on the type designation plate of your system when contacting Grünbeck.
Mobile reverse osmosis system AVRO-flex 400 2 | Functional description Via a fine filter (filter element), the water is directed to the inlet of the feed water section. The water flows to the high-pressure pump via the inlet solenoid valve with a downstream “pressure switch for minimum pressure”.
