Axial Edge Filters

The Auxill Axial Edge Filter is a simple in-line filter for the removal of mixed organic and heavier solids from process liquids. The Axial Edge Filter is equipped with slotted tubes (wedge wire cartridges) or other selected elements. The total inlet surface of these elements is less than the nominal pipe diameter and therefore increasing the velocity in the filter. Because of the increased velocity dirt, solids and organic matter will move forward and collect in the integrated collecting chamber. According to the law of Bernoulli, the water leaves the filter elements at the last section of the elements length, from the inside out. The increased speed decreases at the filter element and water flows out at normal pressure through the outlet. The solids accumulate in the collection chamber, where the differential pressure increases. The collection chamber is controlled by a pressure differential control. At pre set values, the flushing cycle will be activated.

Operation

The filter is equipped with slotted tubes (wedge wire cartridges). The total inlet surface of these cartridges is less than the nominal pipe diameter and therefore increasing the velocity in the filter. Because of the increased velocity dirt, solids and organic matter are moved forward and collected in the collecting chamber. According to the law of Bernoulli, the water escapes the filter cartridges at the last section of the cartridge length, from the inside out. The higher intake speed decreases at the filter cartridge end and water flows out at normal pressure. The solids will accumulate in the collection chamber, where the differential pressure increases. The collection chamber and the flushing valve are interconnected via a radial pipe and a pressure differential control. The differential pressure is measured. At pre set values, the flushing cycle will be activated via a control.
