Definition 

A Y-type Strainer is a filter device with a Y-shaped shape. This structure usually includes a chamber with a filter screen inside, the fluid enters from the inlet, and after filtering through the filter screen, the impurities are intercepted at the filter screen, and the clean fluid flows out from the outlet.

According to specific needs, one can select the appropriate filter material and filtration accuracy for the Y-type strainer.
The common filter materials are stainless steel, copper, etc., and the filtration accuracy ranges from tens of microns to hundreds of microns.

Working Principle

1. Filter impurities: When the liquid or gas passes through the Y strainer, it will first enter the filter cartridge of the filter. The filter cartridge is equipped with a screen to filter out solid impurities in the liquid or gas.

2. Impurity interception: Larger impurities may stay directly on the surface of the filter screen, while smaller impurities may penetrate the filter screen, but will form a precipitation inside the filter screen.

3. Cleaning: When the filter has accumulated enough impurities, it needs to be cleaned. At this time, the electric controller will send a signal to the hydraulic control valve and the drive motor to trigger the cleaning action.

Selection Principle

1. Diameter: generally consistent with the inlet pipe diameter.

2. Specifications: mainly consider the size of impurities to be intercepted, according to the medium process requirements.

3. Material: The material of the filter is generally selected to be the same as the material of the connected process pipeline.

When selecting the filter material of the filter, the following key factors need to be considered:

1) the nature of the filter medium:

 If the filter is corrosive liquid or gas, materials with good corrosion resistance should be selected, such as stainless steel, titanium alloy, etc.

 For high temperature media, materials that can withstand high temperatures are needed, such as high temperature resistant stainless steel or special alloys.

2) Filtration accuracy requirements:

 If high-precision filtration is required, such as the removal of small particles or impurities, it may be necessary to choose stainless steel mesh with tight braid and uniform aperture.

 For cases where accuracy is less required, a perforated plate or thicker wire mesh may be sufficient.
