Before installing the sintered mesh filter, it is essential to ensure that all accessories and sealing rings are complete and undamaged. The filter should be cleaned with a detergent (avoid using acid-based cleaners) and then subjected to high-temperature sterilization. Filters intended for steam sterilization, disinfection, and cleaning should be stored separately to prevent contamination.
During the installation of the sintered mesh filter, it is crucial to connect the inlet and outlet correctly. The liquid inlet is located at the bottom of the pipe filter, while the pipe connected to the filter socket serves as the outlet for clean liquid. The new filter element is manufactured in a clean production workshop and is typically packaged in a plastic bag. If the inner plastic bag is not used, do not remove the plastic packaging. For filters with higher requirements, they should be sterilized with high-temperature steam after installation.
The "effective filtering area" refers to the region where airflow passes through the filter material. In most cases, the captured dust accumulates on the windward side of the filter material. Increasing the effective filtering area of an air filter significantly enhances its dust-holding capacity and extends its service life. Experience shows that increasing the filter material area by 50% can extend the filter's service life by 70% to 80%, while doubling the filter's service life requires approximately three times the original filter material area.
However, the possibility of increasing the effective filtration area should be evaluated based on the specific structure and site conditions of the sintered mesh filter. For instance, in a bag filter, the number and length of filter bags can be increased. Traditional filters with baffles can be modified by reducing the interval of the separator to increase the number of pleats on the filter paper. In the case of project design, an air filter capable of accommodating more filter materials can be selected.
Precautions for installing a 1-micron stainless steel sintered mesh filter element:
The new filter must be cleaned with a detergent (avoid using acid), followed by sterilization and disinfection with high-temperature steam. Store the cleaned filter properly to prevent recontamination before installation.
Ensure the correct connection of the filter by not reversing the inlet and outlet during installation.
The new filter element is packaged in a plastic bag by the manufacturer in a clean production workshop. If not in use, do not remove the plastic packaging. For filters with higher requirements, sterilize them with high-temperature steam after installation.
When inserting the hydraulic oil filter element into the port, ensure its vertical position. After inserting it, fasten the fins with the pressure plate and tighten the screw. For filter elements with 226 interfaces, rotate them 90 degrees after inserting and clamp them tightly. This is a crucial step for proper installation. Careless installation may result in inadequate sealing, leading to potential leaks and failure to meet the intended usage requirements.
The 1-micron stainless steel sintered mesh filter element demonstrates excellent filtration performance, effectively filtering particle sizes ranging from 0.5 to 200 micrometers. Only correct installation can allow the filter element to fulfill its intended filtering role. Otherwise, it may not effectively filter or may cause leakage, failing to meet the design requirements.
