SLUDGE COLLECTOR FIELDS OF APPLICATIOn C lear water is necessary for a (hot or cold) water system to operate properly. Recurring problem situations on air conditioning systems, cooling towers, industrial systems and other climatic engineering type installations, result in: - erosion of the walls by water flow, - battery effect, - degassing (particularly O2), - aggressive water attacking the walls, - hard water causing scaling that can separate, or in the form of sludge, - roliferation of micro-organisms (weed, mould, bacteria, ferro-bacteria, p sulphate-reducing bacteria), stimulated by stagnant water and moderate temperatures. To prevent these problems from affecting the operation of the installation, our collector range offers protection. The collectors will be installed on installations such as: - closed circuit central heating hot water system, - closed circuit water-glycol system. ADVANTAGES of the sludge collector PRESSURE DROP AS A FUNCTION OF TREATMENT RATE AND EQUIPMENT USED The sludge collector solves the following problems: - restricted circulation flow, - sludge deposit on valve seats in circulation power valves (magnetic phenomena), - logging of the control tee-pieces and the column base c valves, - clogging of the distribution collectors, - logging of the low points (radiators, underfloor heating, c etc.), - damage to circulators, - logging of boilers and exchangers (sludge precipitated c with scaling). Removing sludge from the system enables the installation to operate properly, reduces energy consumption and reduces maintenance. The system has no pump and therefore makes no noise. 100 % of primary circuit flow treated.

SLUDGE COLLECTOR OPERATING PRINCIPLE S ludge collectors effectively trap particles in suspension in closed hot or cold water systems, particularly in community central heating systems. The treatment process comprises 3 phases: - ollection by slowing down the fluid flow (‹ 0.1 m/s), due to the c large diameter of the collector case (400 to 500 mm, depending on the model), - agnetic trapping of metal oxide particles in the low velocity m zone, due to a magnetic bar mesh ALNICO 600, - 00 µm-filtering on vertical stainless mesh, which helps self4 cleaning. The collector can be installed when the...
