sludge collectors PRinciple of operation The mini-CDB sludge collectors treat the entire return flow from the loop. They act in 3 complementary and consecutive ways that are essential to obtain a good result: • ecanting induced by a considerable reduction in the fluid D velocity, due to the large diameter of the collector case. • agnetic collecting of metal oxide particles in the low M velocity zone, by an ALNICO 600 magnetic bar. • 00 µm filtering on a vertical stainless mesh, for self3 cleaning. The continuously clear water thus: - nsures proper operation of the regulation systems (valve e mechanisms, thermostat-controlled valves, temperature sensors, etc.), - revents obstruction of the small section exchangers, p - educes frequent corrosion phenomena of the "sub‑deposit" r type, due to the differential oxygenation of the pipe system zones. Advantages of the sludge collector F IELS OF APPLICATION The mini-CDB sludge collectors effectively trap particles in suspension carried in closed hot or cold water systems, and particularly in household central heating systems (radiators or under-floor heating). The sludge collector is the solution to the following problems: - reduced circulation flow, - sludge deposit on circulation valve seat (magnetic phenomenon), - obstruction of controller Tees and column base valves. - obstruction of distribution collectors, - obstruction of low points (radiators, under-floor heating, etc.), - clogging of boilers and exchangers (sludge precipitation with scaling). Clearing sludge from systems enables the system to operate properly, reduces energy consumption and reduces the maintenance required. System without pump causes no noise pollution.

sludge collectors Technical Characteristics Standard Installation Treats the entire loop return flow, for faster sludge collection. - upplied complete, ready to install. S - ax. service pressure = 5 bars (at 60°C). M - agnetic collection by ALNICO 600 magnetic bar mounted M vertically on easily removable support. - 00 µm filtering on stainless mesh (vertical filter causing 3 sludge to fall). - elocity reduced to ‹ 0.1 m/s in mini-CDB sludge collector case. V - nstalled on loop return, upstream of boiler. I - nstallation with bypass is recommended, in order to allow I servicing work without shutting...
