Y-shaped Filter

Y-shaped Filter is a protective pipeline valve designed for coarse cleaning of the flow from solid impurities. Filtration of the flow from mechanical impurities occurs through a metal mesh or perforated sheet with a fixed diameter of holes.

Working Environments

Mechanical filters are used on pipelines transporting water, steam, and compressed air with a wide range of operating temperatures and pressures. All filters that you will find in our catalog can be used for water, the possibility of using with other working environments should be clarified with suppliers.

Application Area

The installation locations of Y-Type filters are determined based on regulatory requirements, technological process conditions, or recommendations for equipment protection. In heating and water supply systems of buildings, mechanical filters are installed:

• Before pumps
• Before regulating valves
• Before heat exchangers
• Before flow meters of heat and water meters
• Before heat accumulators and storage water heaters
• At the inlet of the water supply network
• At the inlet of the heat supply network
• At the outlet of the heating system

Advantages

• Low price
• High reliability
• Suitable for repair
• Simple construction
• Compact size

Disadvantages

• A clogged filter creates high pressure losses.
• As the sludge collection chamber fills up, it is necessary to clean it regularly.
• Installation is allowed only on a horizontal or vertical pipeline with a top-down flow.
• Threaded filters compared to flange filters of the same diameter typically have a smaller sludge collection chamber, so they need to be cleaned more often.
