Water system cleans its filter automatically
Honeywell has introduced an automatic self-cleaning water filtering system that ensures a clean water supply to a plant.
The BA295 series protects mains water systems against back pressure, back flow and back syphonage, ensuring compliance with relevant water regulations.
The valves can be used for residential buildings, industrial and commercial purposes.
Fluids up to and including liquid category 4 (toxic, very toxic, carcinogenic and radioactive substances) to EN1717 are protected.
This corresponds to construction type 2 to EN1717.
The number of spares required to service all models in the BA295 range is very small, which is excellent news for testing and service personnel.
The valves provide a neat and cost-effective alternative to providing an airgap - traditionally achieved by header tanks - to isolate water systems.
They feature triple security to provide optimum protection against back pressure and back siphonage: two check valves and a discharge valve divide the unit into three chambers, each providing a separate pressure zone.
Maintenance is simple, as there is unrestricted access to all internal components and the discharge valve is mounted on the underside.
