Y Strainer Functions and Features

1. Y Strainer Functions:

Y Strainer is a product to separate solid particle impurities from fluid, improve product purity, and protect safe operation of devices(compressors, pumps, meters, etc.). It's an indispensable device for media-transmitting pipeline system, which is usually fixed on the entrance point of reducing valve, pressure relief valves, float valves or other devices, to eliminate impurities in the medium and protect normal application of valves and devices.

 2. Y Strainer Features:

The Strainer has the features of advanced structure, low resistance , and sewage convenience. Its applicable medium is water, oil or gas. According tot he customer's requirement, a filter mesh can be made. Its shape is almost the same (Y Type) while its inner parts are all made of stainless steel, firm and durable. If it needs cleaning, you just need to take out the detachable cartridge, remove impurities and put it in. Its maintenance is fairly convenient. The filter is small, with fine filter apertures, low resistance, high efficency, installation and maintenance convenience, low cost and short-sewage time. For general small-scale device, it just takes 5-10 minutes. Generally, water mesh is 18-30 meshes, gas mesh is 40-100 meshes, and oil mesh is 100-300 meshes. The filter is composed of the shell, sewage cover, filter element, and filter mesh etc. The total mesh area is as 3-4 times large as tha t of the first cross-sectional area of the entrance pipe.

 3. Y Strainer  Application:

It's used for elimination of various mechanical impurities of the transimission media of hot water, cold water steam and condensed air, especially for circulating water pump in the boiler room. In order to eliminate mechanical media in the system and prevent devices and pipelines from obstruction and abrasion,, the pressure loss is 0.05-0.1m water column under the rated flow speed.

It's used for various devices, such as steam instruments, steam traps, and devices for compressing air and other steam devices. The pressure loss is 0.05-0.2m water columm under the rated flow speed. The filter aperture density is various for the oil filter, such as 64 meshes, 200 meshes and 300 meshes, It's used for all devices on the oil transmissio pipelines, such as oil pumps and oil boilers. The pressure loss is 0.05-0.1m water column under the rated flow speed.
