3 Design and method of operation
3.1 Method of operation
The single magnetic core is integrated in an aluminium housing and forms one unit e.g. fitted
in series with the pipe-line.
The flow is arranged in such a manner that the material that is to be cleaned is well
distributed and comes intimately into contact with the magnetic field.
3.2 Construction
•
All stainless steel construction with optional internal coatings
•
Viton ‘O’ ring lid seals
•
High intensity magnetic core
4 Safety
4.1 Intended use
The inline liquid filter is designed for installation into pressurised pipe lines working at up to
1160 psi (80 bar). All pipeline connections are to be installed accurately and sealed to prevent
the loss of pressure/fluid.
The lid seal is to be maintained in a good condition.
To ensure that the supplied magnets maintain their high level of performance, attention
must be paid to the following conditions:
1. NO temperatures above the specific operating temperature
2. NO oscillating vibrations
3. NO impacts
4. NO strong external magnetic flux fields
5. Pay attention to the cleaning and maintenance of the system
4.2 General preventive measures
The core is constructed with strong magnets. The handling of ferrous tools (e.g. with
maintenance or cleaning) etc. can cause risk of injury for the personnel due to the magnetic
attraction. Special measures regarding the presence of ferrous items have to be considered
when handling magnetic material.
4.3 Dangers of not adhering to safety notes
Using this equipment in a manner not intended can be hazardous.
4.4 Safety notes for operation and maintenance
Maintenance work is to be executed only by technical personnel. With work on pneumatic,
hydraulic, pressurised or electrical services, the supply lines are to be isolated prior to any
cleaning or maintenance actions.
Prior to any maintenance work being carried out, the process, equipment used and personnel
must be risk assessed and deemed suitable to conduct that task. All work is to be carried out
in accordance with local and legislative regulations.
