Description
On-line water analysis often places heavy demands on sample filtration. Aside from the expected high availability of the analysis system in conjunction with low maintenance requirements, defined constant filter characteristics must be assured.
LFE's USR-F sample filter system helps to meet these requirements using a filter element in cross-flow configuration. The filter element is irradiated at adjustable, regular intervals and defined duration by ultrasonic energy. The ultrasound generator creates cavitation in the water sample which serves as the coupling medium.
The implosions of a tremendous number of micro cavitation bubbles results in the familiar excellent cleaning effect of this method. The particles loosened from the filter element are carried away by the main sample stream. The connected analyzer system can take the sample continuously from the cleaned filter element achieving considerably lower maintenance and longer service life.
LFE's sample filter consists of the corrosion resistant filter unit containing the ultrasonic transducer and a control unit with the time or remote controlled ultrasound generator. The control unit is housed in a water-protected (IP65) wall-mounted housing.
