AF SERIES BERNOULLI EFFECT SELF-CLEANING FILTER
The AF series Bernoulli effect self-cleaning Filter (AF Filter for short) is designed for continuous filtration of water in pressurized systems. AF Filter removes debris and particles from natural water sources such as sea water or river water. The AF filter works in Bernoulli effect principle, which leads to the simple and highly reliable filtering operation.

BERNOULLI EFFECT CLEANING PRINCIPLE

The filter element of AF filter is cleaned by the cleaning disc mounted on the pneumatic cylinder rod. When the cleaning action triggered, the disc moves into the filter element and water passes through the gap between the disc and the filter element. Flow velocity increases around the disc and the static pressure around the disc decreases because of the Bernoulli effect principle. Around the disc edge, the vacuum effect of lower static pressure makes the filtered water back-flush the filter element surface.

TECHNICAL FEATURES AND ADVANTAGES

Simple and reliable structure with only two moving parts (Clean disc and discharging valve) Non-contact cleaning, no particle extrusion out of the filter element, efficient filtration Low and consistant pressure drop (even <0.011MPa) both when clean and dirty Very low working pressure requirement down to 0.03MPa Wide flow rate range from 30 to 3000 m3/ in only one filter unit No filtration interruption when self-cleaning Filtration sizes from 0.2 to mm Easy installation in horizontal or vertical position 2

THE COMPLETE AF WORKING STAGES

1
Filtration in the upper 2/3 screen In the lower 1/3 reverse flow takes place as flow velocities in the filter screen entrance. This causes no impurity deposit. result of high

2
Filtration in progress The screen starts to gradually get clogged from top to down. Filtration also begins in the 1/3 screen. Reverse flow in the screen entrance area still takes place.

3
Filtration and self-cleaning action triggered 2/3 upper screen gets almost clogged Filtration starts on the whole screen surface The self-cleaning action is triggered by differential pressure

4
Cleaning and filtration The cleaning discharging valve opened The clean disc keeps still in the initial position The coarse particles are easily washed out of the filter The lower 1/3 screen also takes part in the filtration

5
Cleaning and continuous filtration The cleaning disc moves down into the screen (down to 2/3) Cleaning takes palce on the screen surface around the disc because of the Bernoulli effect principle

6
th e disc mov es up and down and clean ed th e upp er 2/3 screen Reverse flow takes place and cleans the lower 1/3 screen Particles are flushed out. The whole screen is cleaned

AF
FILTER ELEMENT
AF filter has two types of filter elements as the screen [V-SLOT] easy to clean, rarely clogged, uniform slots, world-class precision, heavy duty, long service life. [POR] internal surface, good roundess.
