03-19-2007 -- (openPR) - 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 filter characteristics must be assured.
The sample filter system manufactured by LFE helps meet these requirements using a cross-flow filter element. The filter element is irradiated at adjustable, regular intervals 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. The particles loosened from the filter element are carried away by the main sample stream. The filtered sample can be taken continuously from the cleaned filter element.
LFE's sample filter consists of the filter unit containing the ultrasonic transducer and a control unit with the timer controlled ultrasound generator. The control unit is housed in a water-protected (IP66) wall-mount housing. Filter elements with pore sizes from 5µm to 200µm are available.
The filter system represents a perfect complement to LFE’s own on-line TOC-analyzer systems but it can easily be applied to any other water analysis system as well.
Since 1979 LFE develops and manufactures analytical instrumentation and associated components. Since 1998 the long-established company is family owned and operated in its 2nd generation.
