1.The filter principle
Y-strainer is an indispensable filter device in the pipeline system for conveying fluid medium. Y-strainers are usually installed at the inlet of pressure reducing valve, pressure relief valve, stop valve (such as the water inlet end of indoor heating pipeline) or other equipment to remove impurities in the medium to protect the normal operation of valves and equipment. use. The Y-strainer has advanced structure, low resistance and convenient sewage discharge. The Y-strainer is mainly composed of a connecting pipe, a main pipe, a filter screen, a flange, a flange cover and a fastener. When the liquid enters the filter basket through the main pipe, the solid impurity particles are blocked in the filter blue, and the clean fluid passes through the filter basket and is discharged from the filter outlet. The reason why the filter screen is made into the shape of a cylindrical filter basket is to increase its strength, which is stronger than a single-layer screen, and the flange cover at the lower end of the y-shaped interface can be unscrewed to periodically remove the particles deposited in the filter basket.
2.Installation Y-strainer steps
1. Be sure to open the plastic packaging of the product within the clean room range before installation;
2. Hold the outer frame of the filter with both hands during handling;
3. At least two people are required to install larger filters;
4. Do not hold the middle part of the filter by hand;
5. Do not touch the material inside the filter;
6. Do not use a knife to cut open the outer packaging of the filter;
7. Be careful not to distort the filter when handling;
8. Protect the gasket of the filter to avoid collision with other objects.
3.The operation and maintenance of the Y-strainer
After the system has been working for a period of time (generally no more than one week), it should be cleaned to remove the impurities and dirt accumulated on the filter screen during the initial operation of the system. After that, regular cleaning is required. The number of cleanings depends on the working conditions. If the filter does not have a drain plug, remove the filter stopper and filter when cleaning the filter.
4.Precautions
Before each maintenance and cleaning, the filter should be isolated from the pressurized system. After cleaning, use a new gasket when reinstalling. Carefully clean all pipe threaded surfaces before installing the filter, using pipe sealant or Teflon tape (teflon) in moderation. End threads are left untreated to avoid getting sealant or Teflon tape into the piping system. Filters can be installed horizontally or vertically downwards. The Y-strainer is a small device that removes a small amount of solid particles in the liquid, which can protect the normal operation of the equipment. When the fluid enters the filter cartridge with a certain size filter screen, its impurities are blocked, and the clean filtrate is discharged from the filter outlet. When it needs to be cleaned, it is only necessary to take out the detachable filter cartridge and reload it after processing. Therefore, it is extremely convenient to use and maintain.
