What Are the Installation Requirements for a Self Cleaning Filter

JX Filtration December 11, 2024 Self Cleaning Filter

Filter Specification Matching: The self-cleaning filter size should match the pipeline specifications. If the filter flow rate cannot meet the pipeline requirements, two (or more) filters can be installed in parallel or used for bypass filtration.

Installation Location: The filter should be installed as close as possible to the system's critical protection point. Low inlet pressure can affect performance, so it is also advisable to place the filter near the pressure source.
Bypass and Valves: The filter should be installed in series within the pipeline system. To ensure uninterrupted water supply during maintenance, a bypass system with shut-off ball valves at the inlet, outlet, and bypass should be installed. A check valve should be placed at the outlet to prevent backflow.
Temperature Compliance: Ensure that the water temperature does not exceed the filter's rated capacity.
Power Supply and Drainage: The installation site must provide a three-phase 380V AC power supply (three-phase four-wire system). The drainage pipe should not exceed 5 meters to avoid back pressure.
System Compatibility: For direct flow systems, consider filtration precision, pre-treatment, and pressure requirements. For intermittent systems, avoid using time-controlled filters unless necessary.
Environmental Considerations: Choose an installation location that is waterproof, rainproof, and moisture-resistant.
Valves: Install valves at the inlet, outlet, and drain port of the equipment. The drain valve should be a quick-opening type.
Clearance Requirements: Maintain a minimum clearance of 1500mm between adjacent equipment, 1000mm between equipment and walls, and at least 500mm of maintenance space around the unit.
Pipe Supports: Install pipe supports near the inlet and outlet of the equipment. For valves directly connected to container outlets with diameters greater than or equal to DN150, supports should be placed underneath the valves.
