Product Introduction
The HFU660UY060H is a large-diameter, pleated high-flow filter cartridge designed for industrial water treatment applications. It is part of a common series used as a pre-filter to protect sensitive downstream equipment like Reverse Osmosis (RO) membranes by removing suspended solids.
Filtration Precision
The filtration precision of this model can be customized. The standard range is typically between 1 to 20 microns, with common specific options such as 1, 5, and 10 microns available. The exact precision of a specific unit is determined by the selected filter media.
Flux
This cartridge is designed for high single-cartridge flow. Specific flux figures are highly dependent on the cartridge’s length. According to the series description, standard lengths include 20 inches, 40 inches, and 60 inches. The “660” in the model name often corresponds to a high nominal flow rate (e.g., for a 20-inch length), but the exact flux for the HFU660UY060H variant should be confirmed with the manufacturer based on its configuration.
Salt Rejection Rate
Not Applicable (N/A). This is a mechanical depth filter, not a membrane. Its function is to remove particulate contaminants, not dissolved salts. It has zero salt rejection capability.
Pressure Drop
Initial Pressure Drop: Designed to be low due to its large, pleated structure which maximizes surface area.
Operating Pressure & Differential Pressure: The cartridge can withstand a maximum working pressure of up to 420 bar. The recommended minimum initial pressure differential is 0.2 MPa. The cartridge should be replaced when the pressure drop increases significantly due to contaminant loading.
Molecular Weight Cutoff (MWCO)
Not Applicable (N/A). MWCO is a parameter for membrane separation processes like Ultrafiltration (UF) or Nanofiltration (NF). This pleated cartridge operates on a micron-based particle size exclusion principle and does not have an MWCO rating.
Membrane Thickness
Not Applicable (N/A). This cartridge uses a pleated depth filter media, not a thin, semi-permeable membrane. Therefore, “membrane thickness” is not a relevant parameter. Its construction focuses on the material (e.g., polypropylene) and the depth of the pleated media for dirt-holding capacity.
Replacement Cycle
There is no fixed time-based cycle. The service life is determined by the increase in differential pressure across the cartridge. Replacement is required when the pressure drop reaches a maximum limit, indicating the filter media is saturated with contaminants. The actual cycle depends entirely on the inlet water quality and system operating hours.
Features
High Flow in a Single Housing: Reduces the number of filter housings needed, saving space and cost.
High Dirt-Holding Capacity: The deep pleats provide a large surface area, extending service life.
Robust Construction: Features internal and external support skeletons made of polypropylene (PP) for strength, with thickened end caps.
Customizable: Filter media (e.g., PP, glass fiber) and precision can be selected based on the application.
Sealed Design: Minimizes the risk of fluid bypass, ensuring reliable filtration.
Application Fields
This high-flow cartridge is widely used for pre-filtration across many industries:
Power Generation: Condensate water filtration.
Desalination & Water Purification: RO system pre-treatment (security filtration).
Petrochemical & Chemical Industries: Process water and fluid filtration.
Pharmaceutical & Electronics: Pre-treatment for purified water systems.
Food & Beverage, Marine, and General Industrial Water Treatment.
Conclusion
The HFU660UY060H is a versatile, high-capacity pleated filter cartridge designed for large-flow industrial pre-filtration. Its primary value lies in protecting critical downstream equipment by efficiently removing particulate matter, thereby reducing system maintenance costs and downtime.
