Operational Check
Make sure that there is sufficient steam or air flow from the separator filter outlet by checking the
difference in inlet and outlet pressures (pressure loss) or any available flow meters. If the
differential pressure is too large (pressure loss is several times more than when the product was
new) or there is too little flow, the filter may be clogged. Disassemble, inspect and clean the filter,
or replace as necessary.
Filter Cleaning & Replacement
When cleaning is required, first use back flow cleaning by supplying hot or cold water, steam, or
air through the washing port on the top of the separator filter (details below). When the clogging
is more severe, disassemble and apply high-pressure water cleaning, ultrasonic cleaning, acid
cleaning, or other appropriate method directly to the filter. Replace with a new filter when
cleaning is ineffective. We recommend having spare filters on hand for this purpose.
Inlet valve is closed
Take measures to prevent people from coming into direct contact with
product outlets. Failure to do so may result in burns or other injury from
the discharge of fluids.
Be sure to use only the recommended components when repairing the
product, and NEVER attempt to modify the product in any way. Failure to
observe these precautions may result in damage to the product or burns
or other injury due to malfunction or the discharge of fluids.
