Abstract
A separator device is provided for removing particles from suspension in a fluid comprises a housing having first and second ports for ingress and egress of fluid into and out of the housing, the first and second ports being on the same vertical line; and at least one separation chamber for separating solid particles from the fluid.
Claims12
A filter for a hydronic heating system, the filter comprising:
- a cylindrical housing having first and second ends and a curved wall, and having a central longitudinal axis, an inlet port for ingress of fluid into the cylindrical housing, and an outlet port for egress of filtered fluid out of the cylindrical housing;
- and
- a first separation chamber for separating solid particles from the fluid, and a second separation chamber for separating non-magnetic particles from the fluid,
- the inlet and outlet ports being arranged in parallel and extending, in the same direction, perpendicularly from the curved wall of the cylindrical housing,
- the second separation chamber being disposed at an end of the cylindrical housing nearest to one of the inlet or outlet ports, and
- at least one deflector being provided in at least the one of the inlet and outlet ports which is nearest to the second separation chamber, the at least one deflector being angled to direct flow towards the second separation chamber and, in use, set up a flow of fluid in circular motion about the central longitudinal axis.

A filter for a hydronic heating system, the filter comprising:
- a cylindrical housing having first and second ends and a curved wall, and having a central longitudinal axis, an inlet port for ingress of fluid into the cylindrical housing, and a single outlet port for egress of filtered fluid out of the cylindrical housing;
- and
- a first separation chamber for separating solid particles from the fluid, and a second separation chamber for separating non-magnetic particles from the fluid,
- the inlet and outlet ports being arranged in parallel and extending, in the same direction, perpendicularly from the curved wall of the cylindrical housing,
- the second separation chamber being disposed at an end of the cylindrical housing nearest to one of the inlet or outlet ports, and
- at least one deflector being provided in at least the one of the inlet and outlet ports which is nearest to the second separation chamber, the at least one deflector being angled to direct flow towards the second separation chamber and, in use, set up a flow of fluid in circular motion about the central longitudinal axis.
