 Straining
and Filtration Systems
Tandem Chillers Inc. supplies high quality, low maintenance stainless
steel filtration or straining systems that can be
used for a wide variety of applications to remove solid particles
from liquid streams. Our filtration systems are specifically designed
for the prevention of fouling, debris and particle buildup in our
modular chilling systems. Their low maintenance, stainless steel
construction and exceptional efficiency make them the ideal solution
for any liquid chilling system.
As liquid flows upward, through the internal riser pipe, heavier
debris and particulate is accelerated downward (away from the conical
screen) into the debris reservoir at the base of the strainer. The
particulate is then flushed/drained from the reservoir via the debris
flush port. Unlike the traditional basket strainers, Y-strainers,
or bag filters, our filtration systems can be flushed while online
and in service.
Features of a Filtration System
-
 Compact,
space-saving design reduces floor space requirements and protects
modular chillers.
- Large debris reservoir where particulate can accumulate and
be flushed while strainer is in service.
- Large screen filtering surface area minimizes screen cleaning
frequency.
- No moving parts to replace or break down.
- Low pressure loss (less than 1-PSI at maximum flow, when clean.
- Designed to be installed for full-flow filtering (install with
bypass for servicing screen) or side-stream with the filtration.
- Each model accommodates a wide range of flow rates with no
minimum flow requirements.
- Several mesh/micron options available.
- Gauge Ports (pressure gauges optional).
All models are equipped with a pressure differential alarm which
continuously monitors the inlet and outlet system pressure. When
the strainer gets dirty, a switch-gauge triggers an audible siren
and visual flashing alarm to alert maintenance personnel.
All models include an automatic timer flush valve that insures
that the particulate that falls down to the debris reservoir is
automatically flushed. The power supply and timer controls for the
valve package are housed inside the watertight control box, attached
to the valve.
 Construction
of a Filtration System
The housing on all models is T304 Stainless Steel.
