VAF
2000 Self-Cleaning Filters
The
VAF 2000 design is time tested and proven as a
reliable self-cleaning screen filter. The VAF 2000
filter utilizes a simple hydraulic motor in combination
with a hydraulic piston to move cleaning nozzles
across the screen during a cleaning cycle. There
is no complex electric motor to wire or repair.
The VAF 2000 filters’ 5 to 30 second flush
cycle is automatically initiated when a pressure
differential across the screen increases to 7 psi.
The filter remains on line, and the filtration
process remains uninterrupted during the cleaning
process. And the flush discharge is the lowest
available resulting in minimal waste. VAF 2000
filters are constructed to ASME code and are designed
to incorporate a broad range of construction materials,
and pressure and temperature options. And Valve
and Filter custom manufactures filters and skids
that simplify installation and meet specific requirements.
Mesh / Micron Data |
 |
The
VAF2000 automatic self cleaning water filter is
a screen filter with an efficient, quick flush.
It will remove silt, scale, sand, dirt and
organic materials such as algae, zebra mussels
and clams from virtually all types of water
sources. VAF2000 filters can be used on Cooling
Towers, River or City Water and can be fitted
with food grade components.
How it works
Pressurized water enters the filter inlet and travels
through a coarse screen where large particles are
pre-filtered. The water then passes through a fine
screen where small contaminants (down to 15 microns)
are filtered. The clean water then exits the filter. |
When
the fine screen becomes contaminated, a pressure
differential across the screen is sensed causing
the electronic controller to open the flush valve.
After a preset time, the flush valve closes and
the rinse cycle is complete. Please note the
filter continues to supply water to the system
during rinse cycle. The flush water flows through
the dirt collector, the reactor motor and out
to the flush valve(s) to atmosphere.
The water passing through the angular holes in
the hydraulic motor creates torsional rotation
of the nozzles, thus vacuuming the entire surface
area of the filter element. When the screen is
clean, the unit automatically returns to the full
filtering mode.
The
entire cleaning cycle
takes approximately
5-30 seconds. It should
be noted that even
during the back-flush
cycle, clean water
flow to the system
is not interrupted. |
