The following are common frequently asked questions (FAQ) about filter housing, along with their brief answers.
Duplex Filterhousing allows for continuous filtration with two filters, enabling one to be serviced while the other remains in operation. In contrast, Simplex Filterhousing operates with a single filter and requires system shutdown for maintenance or filter replacement. Duplex is suited for continuous critical operations, reducing downtime and operational costs compared to Simplex, which is typically used in smaller systems with occasional downtime tolerance.
High Pressure housing filters are built to withstand elevated pressures, making them ideal for demanding applications such as oil and gas industries. They are typically constructed from robust materials like stainless steel. In contrast, Low Pressure housing filters are designed for applications with lower pressure requirements, using lighter materials like UPVC or PPR plastics. These filtration housings provide cost-effective solutions for tasks such as water treatment and food processing where pressure levels are moderate.
There are several common surface finishes used for filter housings, including polished, electropolished, and painted finishes.
A polished finish involves buffing the surface of the filter housing to create a smooth, reflective surface. This finish is often used for aesthetic purposes and can be easier to clean.
Electropolishing is an electrochemical process that removes a thin layer of the metal, resulting in a smooth, corrosion-resistant surface. It is commonly used in applications where hygiene and cleanliness are critical, such as in the food and pharmaceutical industries.
Yes, filter housings can also be coated with paint for added protection against corrosion and environmental factors. This is often used in industrial or outdoor settings.
Filter housing refers to a container specifically engineered to house replaceable cartridges, elements, bags, or media used in filtration systems. These housings are designed to accommodate one or more filters, operating at various pressures to facilitate high flow rates. By utilizing filter housings, fluid filtration can be optimized for extended service life and enhanced effectiveness.
Filter housings can be constructed from various materials, including stainless steel, plastic, fiberglass, and sometimes aluminum or carbon steel. This wide range of material options enables filter housings to meet the specific requirements of diverse industries and applications.
Filter housings come in various forms to suit different filtration needs.
Here are the primary categories:
Self-cleaning filter housing: These housings feature mechanisms for automatic cleaning, ensuring continuous filtration without manual intervention.
Bag filter housing: Designed to hold filter bags, these housings are commonly used for removing larger particles from fluids.
Cartridge filter housings: These housings accommodate cartridge filters, providing efficient filtration for diverse applications.
Basket filter housing: Featuring a basket-shaped filter element, these housings excel in capturing larger contaminants from liquids.
FRP Skid Filtration System: Comprehensive filtration systems mounted on a skid for ease of transportation and installation.
The size of a filter housing is primarily influenced by the filter it accommodates, impacting its performance.
Here’s how:
Filter housings are typically checked for leaks prior to leaving the factory.
However, if needed, customers can perform their own leak tests using the following method:
Filtration Systems and Filter Housings are used in various applications including fuel and oil filter housings, machine coolant filtration housings, and sanitary filter housings for liquid, gas, and water filtration needs.
Stainless steel filter housings find extensive use across industries such as:
Depending on the industry and application, filter housings may need to comply with specific regulations or standards such as NSF/ANSI standards for water treatment or ASME codes for pressure vessels.
Yes, there are filter housings constructed from corrosion-resistant materials such as stainless steel or plastic that are suitable for handling corrosive or abrasive fluids.
Installation procedures vary depending on the type of housing and application. Generally, it involves mounting the housing securely, connecting the inlet and outlet pipes, and installing the filter element according to BROTHER FILTRATION instructions.
