Replacement cartridge - for IVAR.BRIX; 6pcs - action – SALE IVAR.BRIX NN

Product detailed description

Neutralization filters are essential components in condensing boiler systems, particularly in residential and commercial buildings where condensate must be safely discharged into the public sewer system. These systems generate acidic condensate that can corrode drainage infrastructure if not properly neutralized. Installers and service technicians must ensure that the neutralization process is effective and that the system remains compliant with local regulations. The transparent container allows for regular visual inspection of the neutralizing media condition, which is crucial for maintaining system efficiency and preventing unexpected failures.

The filter is typically installed in the condensate drainage path between the boiler and the sewer connection. It is designed for systems with condensing boiler output up to 35 kW, making it suitable for a wide range of domestic and small commercial applications. The system must be sized to handle the expected condensate flow rate and acidity level, which vary depending on the boiler type, fuel, and building usage patterns. The transparent container provides an easy way to monitor the neutralizing media and determine when replacement is necessary.

Technical parameters

Material	container Nylon 12, filter for neutralizing cartridge stainless steel AISI 304
Code	520203
Brand	IVAR

The material of the container (Nylon 12) and the stainless steel AISI 304 filter ensures compatibility with acidic condensate and long-term durability. The transparent container allows for visual monitoring of the neutralizing media without the need to disassemble the unit. The connection size of 3/4 inch (DN16) ensures compatibility with standard condensate piping in most European installations. These parameters are essential for correct sizing and system integration.

Installation and connection

The filter should be installed in a location that allows for easy access for inspection and cartridge replacement. The 3/4 inch (DN16) threaded connection requires standard plumbing tools and fittings. Ensure that the system is depressurized and drained before installation. Check that the flow direction is correct and that the filter is installed in a vertical orientation to prevent media displacement. Common installation mistakes include incorrect orientation, failure to secure the connection properly, and installation in areas with restricted access for maintenance.

Compatibility and accessories

This cartridge is specifically designed for use with IVAR.BRIX and IVAR.BRIX NN neutralization filters. No additional accessories are required for standard installation. When replacing the cartridge, ensure that the filter housing is clean and free of debris to maintain optimal performance. No related products are available for this model.

Technical background for designers

The operating principle of the neutralization filter involves the reaction of acidic condensate with the neutralizing media inside the filter housing. The stainless steel AISI 304 filter provides structural support and ensures even distribution of the condensate through the media. The transparent Nylon 12 container allows for visual monitoring of the media condition. The efficiency and service life of the filter depend on the pH level and volume of condensate. Higher acidity or larger condensate volumes will reduce the service life of the media.

Service and operation

Regular visual inspection of the neutralizing media is recommended to determine when replacement is necessary. No specific service intervals are provided, as the service life depends on the condensate characteristics. When replacing the cartridge, ensure that the system is depressurized and drained. Check the condition of the filter housing for signs of wear or corrosion before installing the new cartridge.

Frequently asked questions

Can this cartridge be used with other IVAR filter models?
No, this cartridge is specifically designed for IVAR.BRIX and IVAR.BRIX NN models. Using it with other models may result in improper fit or reduced performance.

How do I know when to replace the cartridge?
Monitor the neutralizing media through the transparent container. When the media appears significantly degraded or the pH of the discharge is no longer neutral, replacement is required.

Is it necessary to clean the filter housing before installing a new cartridge?
Yes, ensure the housing is clean and free of debris to maintain optimal performance and prevent contamination of the new media.

Can this filter be installed in horizontal piping?
No, the filter must be installed vertically to ensure proper media retention and even condensate distribution.
