Removal Capability
A Hyflo separator is much more efficient than most strainers as it will
remove particles 45 microns in size (or the equivalent of a 325 mesh
strainer) and heavier than 1.20 specific gravity. A strainer of this
quality would create a large pressure drop, require frequent cleaning
and be very expensive to purchase and install.
A Hyflo separator continuously removes debris from water. The "rate
of separation" depends on the size and amount of particles being
removed. Hyflo has independent tests which show that 169.15 cubic
centimetres of #60 grade sand was removed in 15 minutes from 60
litres of water.

Low Pressure Drop

Hyflo separators operate efficiently with a pressure drop of 3 to 10
psi. (21 to 69 kPaD).
Cost-Effective Installation. Standard pipe sizes and fittings mate
directly to new and existing systems.

How it Works
Liquid and solids tangentially enter the Hyflo
separator creating a circular flow. The Hyflo separator has no moving parts or filter media. It is a

than the liquid out toward the walls of the Hyflo
separator.

Gravity pulls the solids gradually down the

center vortex of the Hyflo separator’s collection
chamber.

Cleansed liquid rises up through the center vortex

of the Hyflo separator and continues through
the system.

The collection chamber is purged depending upon

the rate of collection and the quantity of solids.

 questions frequently asked about hyflo separators
Q. Why do I need a ‘Hyflo’ separator when I already
strainers & separators  questions frequently asked about hyflo separators
have a strainer system?
A. A ‘Hyflo’ separator is much more efficient than most strainers
as it will remove particles 50 microns in size or the equivalent of
a 325 mesh strainer. It is impracticle to install this quality of a
strainer in a hydronic system as it would create a large pressure
drop in the system, require frequent cleaning and be very
expensive to purchase and install.
Q. Where do I install a ‘Hyflo’ separator?
A. A ‘Hyflo’ separator is usually installed downstream of the pump
before the main system equipment. For best results, a ‘Hyflo’
separator sized for “full flow” should be selected. If space or
economy is a concern then a ‘Hyflo’ separator sized for 10% flow
will provide surprisingly good results.
Q. Why do I need a separator when I have a
chemical treatment program?
A. A chemical treatment program is only designed to keep
particles like pipe scale in suspension so they don’t collect in
the lining of the piping system. Chemicals alone do not remove
this scale from the water - only a ‘Hyflo’ separator can do that.
The more suspended solids in the water system, the higher the
concentration of chemicals required and the more expensive
the chemical treatment program. The ideal combination is to
have a chemical treatment program in conjunction with a ‘Hyflo’
separator. The chemicals keep the pipe scale in suspension and
the separator will remove the scale from the water.
Q. I don’t want to keep replacing system water
lost in the blowdown process for the draining
out particles from a ‘Hyflo’ separator. How
often do I need to blowdown a separator.
A. The frequency of separator blowdown required varies depending
on the amount of debris in a system. Only a small amount of water
is lost in the draining process as it only takes a few seconds to
purge the holding tank of debris.
Q. Why do I need a ‘Hyflo’ separator since I have a
closed loop system?
A. All closed loop systems have some entrained air in the water
causing oxidation of the piping which eventually breaks loose and
appears as loose particles in the water. The older the system, the
greater the oxidation process and amount of pipe scale.
The information provided in this catalogue is based on original manufacturers’ designs and specifications and subject to change without
8.8 notice. Crane Distribution accepts no liability for the accuracy of the information or the availability of products.
Q. My system is still new so why should I pay for a
‘Hyflo’ separator?
A. The best time to begin protecting a system is when it’s new so
it will stay that way for many years. A ‘Hyflo’ separator will help
keep your system looking and running like new for a long time.
Q. We are considering converting our existing
chilled water system into a ‘crossover system’
so we can run our cooling tower instead of
our chiller to provide the lower temp water
on light load days. However, we are concerned
that the cooling tower will contaminate our
normally closed loop system with sand and
other debris. Will the ‘Hyflo’ separator be able
to clean the cooling tower water well enough
to incorporate a ‘crossover system’?
A. ‘Hyflo’ separators have been used successfully for several years
in the exact type of application. The ability of a ‘Hyflo’ separator
to remove very small particles of sand is particularly important
when using water from an open cooling tower to provide the
cooling medium for a building.
Q. What is the “rate of separation” for a ‘Hyflo’
separator? How long will it take to clean up my
system once I install a ‘Hyflo’ separator?
A. A ‘Hyflo’ separator continuously removes debris from water. The
‘rate of separation’ depends on the size and amount of particles
being removed. We have independent tests on our ‘Hyflo’
separator which show that 10.32 cubic inches of #60 grade of
sand was removed in 15 minutes from six decaliters of water. It
may be possible to estimate the amount of time required, but we
would have to know all the pertinent facts regarding your system.
Q. What won’t the ‘Hyflo’ separator be able to
remove from my system?
A. The only materials that a ‘Hyflo’ separator will not efficiently
remove are those lighter than 1.20 specific gravity. Particles like
floating wood chips, dry leaves, etc. are not easily removed by the
centrifugal action of the separator.
