Modern heating systems generate and distribute heat with a high degree of precision. Water is the medium primarily used for heat transfer in such systems. However, water also transports unwanted substances such as lime, calcium, magnesium, oxides, carbonates and production pollutants such as welding or soldering scrap, metal chips, and construction dirt.
Flushing the heating system prior to commissioning does not fully remove these substances. The pressure and temperature conditions during operation allow these unwanted substances to react. Particles collect at the surface of heat exchangers. Stress caused by temperature differences at the heat exchanger cause larger particles to come off. These particles may cause malfunctions of the fittings and control components.
The AFRISO EUROGAUGE flow filter was developed to solve such problems. Flow filters remove lime, rust, sludge, dirt and gas from heating systems and ensure clean water and trouble-free operation.
Clean water is key for trouble free operation of heating systems with the benefit of reduction in operating and maintenance costs. In addition, the thermal conductivity of clean water is superior to that of polluted water which results in faster room heating. This reduces fuel consumption and has a positive effect on the environment.
The filter functions according to the principle of reverse flow preventing the water from transporting all particles. Particles are collected in the filter chamber where they can be removed via a flushing valve.
The combined air flow filter was developed for heating systems containing oxygen or other gases, the integral air vent enables automatic venting of the heating system.
The compact flow filter (air flow filter) is always installed in the return pipe upstream of the heat source, irrespective of whether the heat source is installed at the lowest point of the heating system. The filtering and protection function of the filter also works when heating systems are installed in a high level situation such as an attic or loft conversion.
Suitable for hot water heating systems, underfloor heating systems, solar systems (special versions, please enquire), fuel cells and renovation of system components (sludge removal).
Also suitable for removing lime in the circulation circuit of non-potable water facilities.
