A filter housing or filter vessel is a casing around a filter cartridge or bag in a liquid or gas stream.
Rosedale filter housings come in many sizes and styles, and can serve as a filter bag housing, cartridge filter or basket strainer. The filter vessels are opened without special tools, and the element is easily cleaned or replaced.
Factors to Consider in Filter Housings
Because there are many sizes and styles of bag filter housings, selecting the best filter for your filtration system is important. In order to decide what kind of filter is suitable for your application, you need to know a few pieces of information. tall, silver cylindrical cannister
Some criteria to consider when choosing the correct filter vessel include:
- Maximum pressure and temperature
- Chemical and physical composition
- Type of duty
- What contaminants need removal
- Maximum flow rate
- Line size and type
- Level of filtration required
- Cost, response time, service life, and interval requirements
Each of these properties helps to narrow the filter that is ideal for your needs. Knowing the maximum pressure, temperature, and the chemical and physical composition of the sample, allows you to determine the material of the filter housing.
Filter Vessel Application Uses for Water, Wastewater, Liquids/Fluids and Gases
Knowing the type of duty will help you decide the ideal configuration for the housing. Rosedale Products’ filter housings are ideal for applications such as:
Liquid and Water Housings in Stainless Steel
- Compatible for high-pressure and hot water applications. Its corrosion-resistance makes it Ideal for a wide range of industrial and commercial applications. Also compatible with a wide range of fluids such as high-purity water for residential and industrial uses.
Wastewater
- Low-cost choice for wastewater filtering. Ideal for small application systems.
Gases
- Reliable and cost-efficient gas filtering.
Chemical fluid treatment
The amount of contaminants to be removed and the level of filtration required determine the proper pore size of the filter element. Selecting the best size requires balancing your mechanical requirements with what you’re willing to spend. If you need long service intervals, for example, you would need a larger filter. This would require buying a more expensive filter than the smallest size.
