Abstract
A separator device for removing particles from suspension in a fluid includes a housing having first and second apertures for ingress and egress of fluid into and out of the housing. A first separator chamber is disposed at one end of the housing. A second separator chamber is disposed at the other end of the housing. A central chamber is disposed between the first and second separator chambers. The first and second separator chambers are apertured for ingress and egress of fluid from the central chamber, and each contains obstruction means to slow the flow of fluid within the chamber.
Claims25
A magnetic filter for use in a hydronic heating system, the magnetic filter comprising:
- a housing, having first and second apertures for ingress and egress of fluid into and out of the housing;
- a first separator chamber for removing particles from suspension in the fluid, the first separator chamber being disposed at one end of the housing;
- a second separator chamber for removing particles from suspension in the fluid, the second separator chamber being disposed at the other end of the housing, and
- a central chamber disposed between the first and second separator chambers, a magnet being provided in the central chamber for attracting ferrous particles from fluid in the central chamber,
- the first and second separator chambers each being apertured for ingress of fluid from the central chamber, and the first and second separator chambers each being apertured for egress of fluid to the central chamber, the first separator chamber containing flow obstructions to slow the flow of fluid within the first separator chamber, and the second separator chamber containing flow obstructions to slow the flow of fluid within the second separator chamber.
