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 heat exchangers, heating elements
and pipes, resulting in lower thermal efficiency
within the system.
The dirt separator separates off these dirt particles
which are mainly made up of particles of sand and
rust, circulating within the closed circuit system.
These particles are collected in a large chamber,
requiring infrequent cleaning, which requires simply
removing the magnet collar and opening the large
drain valve while the system is running. This device
is capable of efficiently removing particles to a very
small size, with very low pressure head loss.
The DIRTMAG ® magnetic dirt separator removes
both
continuously, featuring a powerful removable
external magnet around the body. The body of
the NA5453 series separator is made of glass
reinforced nylon specifically designed for use in
heating and cooling systems. It also is especially
versatile as it can be installed on either horizontal or
vertical piping with the rotating brass base mount.
