Description
Components
The port filter consists of a cylindrical meshed tube with a flange in one end.
The length of the filter tube is adapted for the total length of the plate pack
including the thickness of the frame and pressure plate. The conical guide ring
is inserted at the opposite port and keep the filter tube centered after
installation. The welded rings in both ports provide a flat surface for flange
gasket sealing against pipework and inspection cover.
NOTE
The port filter length is precisely adapted to the specific plate heat
exchanger. Modifications to the plate heat exchanger may make the port
filter not fit the dimensions of the plate heat exchanger anymore.
Following parts are required to install port filter.
1. Port filter
2. Conical guide ring
3. Flange gasket (4 pieces per port filter)
Function
The port filter is used to ensure high thermal efficiency of the plate heat
exchanger by preventing foreign objects from entering and causing clogging of
the plate pack. The port filter is designed to operate in conditions involving sea
water, process water, cooling tower water or any kind of liquid containing
particles with potential risk of disrupting the performance of the system.
