Duplex Strainer with backwash system
Duplex Strainers are designed where flow cannot be shutdown to service the strainer screen. Changeover is accomplished by use of butterfly valves
Differential pressure across the strainer should be measured regularly.
When basket is not clogged, pressure drop across basket is for example will be 0.18 bar.
During filtration basket starts to get clogged. When it gets clogged to 50%, then the pressure drop will become for example 0.25 bar.
At that point of time, the backwash valve should be manually opened & backwashing starts.
During this process drain valve of the filter should remain open.
During backwashing, flow will not get interrupted. Backwashing will go on till it completely cleans the basket. When differential pressure across basket reaches normal value the backwash valve should be manually closed along with the drain valve.
Backwashing also will stop.
