I. Design & Structure

1. Y-Type Configuration

Named after its distinctive "Y" shape, the filter's main body features an inlet and outlet arranged at a specific angle, promoting natural flow deflection within the unit, thereby enhancing filtration efficiency and minimizing pressure drop.

2. Housing & Filter Cartridge

Constructed from corrosion-resistant materials such as high-quality carbon steel or stainless steel, the filter housing houses a filter cartridge. The cartridge is composed of multi-layer metal mesh or sintered media, offering varying filtration precision levels (e.g., 10μm to 4000μm) to capture suspended solids, particulates, and other impurities in water.

3. Cleaning Mechanism

A key component of the Automatic Y-Type Self-Cleaning Filter is the cleaning mechanism, which typically includes a cleaning brush, a brush-washing screen, and a drive assembly. When the filter screen accumulates a certain amount of debris, the cleaning mechanism activates, using a rotating brush to dislodge contaminants adhering to the screen, maintaining its cleanliness and preventing clogging-related pressure increases and filtration efficiency decline.

 

II. Operating Principle & Workflow

1. Normal Filtration Stage

Liquid enters the automatic Y-type self-cleaning filterfilter through the raw water inlet, flows through the filter cartridge, with impurities retained on the screen while clean liquid exits through the product water outlet, continuing on to subsequent process stages.

2. Automated Cleaning Process

As filtration time progresses and debris accumulates on the filter screen, the differential pressure between the inlet and outlet increases. At this point, either a differential pressure sensor or a timer within the filter detects the preset threshold and sends a signal to the controller. Upon receiving the signal, the controller initiates the cleaning sequence.

 

III. Technical Features & Advantages

1. High Single Unit Flow Capacity

The automatic Y-type self-cleaning filter is designed with ample flow areas, enabling them to handle high liquid flow rates, catering to large-scale industrial operations or facilities.

2. Automated Control

Equipped with an advanced electrical control system, the automatic Y-type self-cleaning filter can trigger cleaning based on differential pressure, time, or manual commands, achieving intelligent, unattended operation, significantly reducing maintenance costs and human intervention.

3. Energy Efficiency

Employing precise differential pressure control strategies, the automatic Y-type self-cleaning filter only cleans when necessary, avoiding energy waste from frequent unnecessary backwashes. The cleaning process is rapid and efficient, ensuring filtration performance while minimizing backwash water usage.

4. Precision Filtration

Offering a range of filtration precision options, the automatic Y-type self-cleaning filter can accommodate diverse water quality requirements in different operating conditions, effectively removing suspended solids and particles of various sizes, safeguarding downstream equipment and systems.

5. Excellent Durability

Manufactured from top-quality materials, the automatic Y-type self-cleaning filter exhibits strong corrosion resistance, high mechanical strength, and a long service life. The cleaning mechanism is designed for minimal wear and straightforward maintenance.

6. Flexible Installation Options

The Y-type configuration allows for both vertical and horizontal installation, accommodating diverse spatial layouts and process requirements.

 

IV. Applications

Automatic Y-Type Self-Cleaning Filters are widely used in:

1. Industrial Cooling Water Systems: Protecting cooling towers, heat exchangers, condensers, and other equipment from particle-induced wear and scaling.

2. Industrial Process Water: Serving as a pre-treatment device for various manufacturing processes (e.g., chemical, pharmaceutical, food and beverage), ensuring water quality meets process specifications.

3. Wastewater Treatment & Reuse: In water recycling systems, functioning as a deep filtration unit to remove suspended solids, enhancing overall water quality.

4. Agricultural Irrigation: Filtering water sources to prevent nozzle clogging, ensuring the stable operation of irrigation systems.

5. Seawater Desalination Pretreatment: Removing substantial amounts of suspended solids and particles from seawater, reducing the burden on subsequent membrane treatment systems.

 

FAQ

1. Q: What is the function of a filter?

A: The main function of a filter is to remove solid particles, impurities, and harmful substances from liquids or gases, in order to achieve purification, clarification, and protection of equipment.

2. Q: How to choose a suitable filter?

A: When choosing a filter, factors such as the properties of the material being filtered (e.g., viscosity, temperature, corrosion), required filtration accuracy, processing capacity, operating pressure and medium, as well as the type, material, size, and installation method of the filter should be considered.

3. Q: What is the working principle of a filter?

A: The working principle of a filter mainly relies on physical screening, deep interception, absorption, or chemical reactions to remove impurities or harmful components from the material being filtered.

4. Q: How to maintain and care for a filter?

A: Maintenance of filters includes regular cleaning or replacement of filter elements, inspection of seals and fasteners, maintaining stable operating pressure, and avoiding overloading. Specific methods should be referenced from the filter's instruction manual and maintenance guides.

5. Q: What is the service life of a filter?

A: The service life of a filter depends on its working environment, processing volume, and filtration accuracy. Generally, when the filter's pressure drop reaches a certain value or the filtration effect decreases significantly, it needs to be replaced or cleaned.

6. Q: What should be paid attention to during filter installation?

A: During filter installation, attention should be paid to the directionality, ensuring that the fluid enters and exits from the correct ports. Also, the piping system should be cleaned before installation, and the filter should be securely fastened and sealed as required by the instructions.

7. Q: What is the replacement cycle for filters?

A: The replacement cycle for filters depends on their working conditions and filtration requirements, and is usually indicated by pressure difference indicators or timers. When the filter's pressure drop reaches the set value or the filtration effect decreases, it should be replaced in a timely manner.
