Function
The Caleffi XF "Xtra filtration" magnetic dirt separator protects
components in hydronic systems by maintaining impurity-free
hydronic fluid to maximize heat transfer efficiency. The XF has a
collision media for removing non-magnetic debris, a magnet to
capture ferrous materials, and a 160 μm mesh filter to remove fine
particle impurities starting with the first pass of the fluid.
It is perfect for heat pump and boiler applications. The unique
internal brush mechanism cleans the filter for simple and efficient
purging. The XF can be mounted in vertical or horizontal applications
due to its rotating collar.

  • Page 7 Principle of operation: Water treatment in the system takes place in three separate stages: The water enters at the center of the device and comes into contact with the internal element, which consists of a set of concentric mesh surfaces. The microparticles are separated by the joint action of the large chamber and the mesh surfaces.
  • Page 8 Construction details: Dual filtering effect The Caleffi XF magnetic filter contains two devices that remove impurities. The first is an internal mesh element, composed of a set of concentric surfaces that cause particles up to 5µm to precipitate. The second is an outlet filter with a large surface, which mechanically selects and retains impurities by size (160 µm).
  • Page 9 Adjustable by-pass: Sizes 1-1/4” and 1-1/2” come with a by-pass to restrict the flow rate passing through the Caleffi XF magnetic filter and thereby increase the Cv value. However, 0% by-pass is recommended during commissioning and for the first few weeks of system operation. Then, during the “constant”...
