Magnetic filters
Magnetic filters in this category are designed to remove both magnetic and non-magnetic particles from heating systems. These filters are commonly used in central heating systems, boilers, and heat exchangers to prevent clogging and damage to components. They operate using a high magnetic induction field to capture suspended particles in the fluid flow. The filters are constructed from durable materials such as stainless steel (AISI 304) and feature sealing rings made from VITON BS244 for chemical resistance and long-term performance.
Typical applications include installation in closed-loop heating circuits, where the presence of metallic debris can compromise system efficiency and longevity. These filters are suitable for systems operating within temperature ranges of +5°C to +150°C and are available in various sizes to accommodate different flow requirements.
How to choose
- Assess the system’s maximum flow rate and select a filter with a suitable flow capacity (e.g., 6.0 m³/h for larger systems).
- Ensure the filter’s connection size and thread type match the system piping (e.g., 1-inch connections for standard installations).
- Verify material compatibility with the system’s fluid and operating conditions (e.g., stainless steel AISI 304 for high corrosion resistance).
- Consider the magnetic induction strength (e.g., 4,000 Gauss) to ensure effective particle capture.
- Check the filter’s porosity rating (e.g., 1000 µm) to determine the size of particles it can retain.
Frequently asked questions
Can magnetic filters remove non-ferrous particles?
Yes, some models capture both magnetic and non-magnetic particles, though effectiveness may vary depending on particle composition.
What is the recommended maintenance interval?
Inspect and clean the filter periodically, especially in systems with high particulate load, to maintain optimal performance.
