DESIGN
The AutoFilt® RF3 is an automaticself-cleaning filtration systemdesigned for continuousmaintenance-free filtration for allmajor manufacturing andprocessing industries. It removessolid contamination from lowviscosity fluids such as water andmachine tool coolants. Its ruggedconstruction and self-cleaningfeature provide companies withincreased machinery reliabilityresulting in reduced operating, laborand maintenance costs.
Superior removal of contaminationparticles from water is accomplishedwith Slotted Tube / Wedge WireFilter Elements ranging from 50 to3,000 microns and SuperMeshTM
Filter Elements with 25 and 40microns.
The automatic self-cleaning processbegins, as soon as, the filter elementsbecome contaminated. Due to theunique single element cleaningprocess, the total filtered flow is notreduced during the cleaning process.
Flow rates range can range from20-31,000 GPM and housings areavailable with ANSI mounting portflanges from 2” to 36”.
HYDAC can supply numerouscombinations of housing materials,as well as, system operatingequipment to reach the optimuminstallation for every industryapplication.
COST EFFECTIVENESS
Particle contamination in wateraccelerates the rate of wear onsystem components such asspray nozzles, water valves, andpipelines. This could result inpremature component failure.
The use of automatic self-cleaningfilters lead to a significant decreasein service and maintenance intervalsresulting in time and labor savings.As well, costs for replacementequipment and waste disposalcan be minimized.
Process water is typicallycontaminated with solids andwater companies apply surchargesto handle the contaminant discharge.The HYDAC AutoFilt® RF3 isideally suited for removing thesecontaminants prior to dischargethus reducing or eliminating anyfinancial surcharge.

OPERATION
The design of the AutoFilt® RF3 Self-Cleaning Filter is simple yet highlyeffective. The basic construction consistsof the main housing, inlet and outletports with flanged connections, filterelements, outlet valve and actuatorand electronic operating controls. Allof these combined together provide acompletely automated self-cleaningfiltration system.
The process begins with fluid passingthrough the inlet flange reaching thefilter elements by flowing from insidethe element to outside. Solidcontamination is then trapped on theinside of the Wedge-Wire filter element.As contamination increases, thedifferential pressure between thecontaminated and clean side increases.When the set differential pressure isreached, 7 psid typical, self-cleaningprocess is triggered.
Note: This self-cleaning activation hasan adjustable differential pressure ortime setting. (see Starting the AutomaticSelf-Cleaning Process on page 6.)
The self-cleaning process is onecomplete cycle which cleans oneelement at a time in succession. Thegeared motor turns the contaminationdischarge arm under the filter elementto be cleaned. The contaminationdischarge valve is then opened by anactuator. This results in a highpressure drop within the filter elementbeing cleaned, which forces theparticles into the discharge line.During this operation, only a smallamount of clean fluid is used tocomplete the cleaning process.
A typical self-cleaning cycle takes lessthan 30 seconds. The cleaning cycletakes place with no interruption in flowor pressure drop.
The unique conical element designand internal mounting configurationallows for smooth flow transition,resulting in a minimal pressure lossduring the cleaning process.
Advantage to the customer: Fewerself-cleaning cycles and a minimumloss of flushing fluid.

Starting The AutomaticSelf-Cleaning Process• Pressing the Test Button on the
Control Panel
• Electrically activated Test Button
• Differential Pressure set point isexceeded, e.g., 7 psid
• Adjustable Timer, e.g., 12 hours
• Combination Differential Pressureand Adjustable Timer
Flow Curves
Element Opening QuotientEFQx determines consistent flow without reverse flow through the filterelement during the filtering and self-cleaning process. The EFQx value isthe ratio of the opening filtration surface of an element to the cross sectionof the opening of the element inlet.
EFQx = AF
AE
X = Filtration rating in µm
Example: EFQ100 < 3 forelements with filtrationrating of 100 µm
Note: The curves are for filter rating from 100 µm - 3000 µm. For 50 µm the pressure dropincreases by 30%. This is true for sizes RF3 0 - 8. For RF3 C there is no increase inpressure drop. For 25, 40, and 50 µm the pressure drop increases by 30%.
Ready To OperateThe filter control unit anddifferential pressure measuringlines are already connected. Oncethe inlet, outlet, and discharge lineshave been attached, only thepower and/or air supply need to beconnected.
Variable Filter GeometryThe outlet flange can be oriented in any 90˚ increment in comparison to theinlet. The discharge line incorporates a slip flange which enables positioningat any angle in which the housing legs do not interfere. The AutoFilt RF3 canbe easily integrated into any plant due to these flexible mounting options.
