Operating Principle

Self-cleaning – without interruption

Water flows through the filter element from inside to outside. Dirt particles remain on the inner screen – and are automatically removed.

1

Filtration

Raw water flows through the screen element from inside to outside. Dirt particles remain inside and form a filter cake. The differential pressure rises continuously.

  • Water flows axially into the screen element
  • Particles are caught on the inner screen
  • Differential pressure rises as trigger
AquaPROFI operating principle step 1 – Filtration
AquaPROFI operating principle step 2 – Filter cake formation
2

Filter Cake Formation

The retained particles form a filter cake on the inner screen. The differential pressure rises until the set threshold is reached – then self-cleaning starts automatically.

  • Filter cake improves fineness
  • Differential pressure monitoring triggers cleaning
  • Threshold freely adjustable
3

Self-cleaning

When the differential pressure is reached, the flush valve opens. The motor rotates the suction nozzles in a spiral pattern along the inner screen – the vacuum precisely removes the filter cake.

  • No interruption of filtrate flow
  • Vacuum removes dirt precisely across the entire surface
  • Only 30 seconds flush time and minimal backwash volume

Heat Exchanger Protection

Also suitable for systems with low line pressure

Our self-cleaning filters protect heat exchangers from clogging and corrosion, even at low line pressure. For automatic self-cleaning, we integrated a small separate pump here that temporarily increases the flush pressure in the filter housing.

  • System: Cooling water circuit
  • Application: Protection of plate heat exchangers
  • Challenge: Automatic cleaning at low line pressure.
  • Solution: Integrated pump that temporarily increases flush pressure in the housing.

Suspended Dual Filter Installation

Redundant filtration at high flow rates

Two parallel aquaPROFI AP 7025 filters provide redundant filtration at high flow rates. The main cooling water flow is continuously filtered and the maximum particle size in the circuit can be guaranteed.

  • System: Cooling water circuit
  • Application: Reliable removal of particles in the main flow
  • Challenge: Cooling reliability must be guaranteed 24/7.
  • Solution: Dual installation with large filter area in V4A

Easy Maintenance in Practice

Filter change without lifting tools in minutes

The AP 7025 in field use: The filter basket can be lifted from the housing without special tools. The generous design allows easy access to all components for inspection and maintenance. All without draining the system.

  • System: Cooling water circuit
  • Application: High flow rate up to 250 m³/h
  • Challenge: Easy maintenance on large system
  • Solution: Vertical installation avoids complete draining, filter basket changeable without lifting tools
