Eaton's Model 52 duplex strainer offers a large design size with high flow rates that benefit from a set of synchronized, high-quality, butterfly valves that minimize the effort to switch the flow from one basket chamber to the other. The valve replace the diverter plug used on smaller size strainers and gives a straight flow pattern with no sudden changes in flow direction. The result is a very low pressure loss. This is the strainer to choose for high flow rate applications when a low-pressure loss is critical.
The Model 52 incorporates a larger screening area by convoluting (pleating) the perforated sheet in the strainer basket, thus increasing the available screening area while reducing the total basket size. Flow enters the basket from the side, not the top, resulting in a straight flow pattern. This means a lower pressure drop and greater time between basket cleanings than would be possible with standard design baskets; a substantial savings in time and operating costs. The lighter weight and smaller profile of this strainer make it ideal for situations when space requirements are tight.
Model 52 is ideal for use in the following applications:
- Wastewater
- Spray Nozzle Systems
- Heat Exchanger Protection
- Cooling Towers
- Boiler Feed Water
- Machining Fluids
- Deep Well Injection
- Descaling Systems
- Lube Oil Systems
- Irrigation
- Paper Coating
- Refining
