Product Introduction
The HFU660UY100H13 is a large-flow, pleated filter cartridge designed for industrial water treatment applications. It is characterized by its large diameter of 165 mm (6.5 inches) and a single-open-end design without a central support skeleton. Fluid flows from the outside to the inside, and the large pleated surface area allows for high flow rates while significantly reducing the number of filter elements and housing size required in a system, lowering investment and operational costs. It is commonly produced as a replacement for original equipment manufacturer (OEM) filters from brands like Pall.
Filtration Precision
The standard filtration precision for this model is 5 micrometers (µm). However, it is available in a customizable range of precision grades, including 1, 4.5, 6, 10, 20, 40, 70, and 100 µm.
Flux
This cartridge is engineered for very high flow rates. The recommended maximum water flow for a standard length cartridge is 1300 liters per minute (LPM). Comparable products in the same series indicate that flow capacity scales with length, with common sizes being 20, 40, and 60 inches.
Salt Rejection Rate
Not Applicable (N/A). This is a mechanical depth filter designed to remove suspended particles. It does not remove dissolved salts. Its primary role is often as a pre-filter (“保安过滤”) to protect downstream Reverse Osmosis (RO) membranes that perform desalination.
Pressure Drop
The pleated design aims for low flow resistance. The maximum allowable pressure drop is 3.4 bar at an operating temperature of 82°C. For similar industrial pleated filters, a differential pressure of 2.4 bar is a common indicator for replacement.
Molecular Weight Cutoff (MWCO)
Not Applicable (N/A). MWCO is a parameter for membrane processes like Ultrafiltration. This cartridge operates on micron-based particle size exclusion and does not have an MWCO rating.
Membrane Thickness
Not Applicable (N/A). This product is not a thin-film membrane. It is a depth filter cartridge that uses a thick, pleated media. Therefore, “membrane thickness” is not a relevant parameter.
Replacement Cycle
There is no fixed time-based cycle. Replacement is triggered by an increase in differential pressure due to contaminant loading. The filter should be replaced when the pressure drop reaches a terminal value (commonly around 2.4 bar for similar filters), indicating the media is saturated. The actual service life depends entirely on feed water quality.
Features
High Single-Element Flow: One cartridge can replace many conventional filters, simplifying system design.
High Dirt-Holding Capacity & Long Life: The large, pleated design provides extensive surface area for contaminant capture, extending service life.
Robust Construction: Features an internal polypropylene (PP) support skeleton capable of withstanding differential pressure up to 0.245 MPa, with end caps made of glass fiber-reinforced PP.
High Filtration Efficiency: The filter media achieves a Beta ratio (βx) of 1000 or greater, indicating a removal efficiency of ≥99.9% for its rated particle size.
Material Options: Filter media is available in Polypropylene (PP) or Glass Fiber; seals are typically EPDM rubber.
Easy Handling: Often includes a handle for convenient installation and replacement.
Application Fields
This high-flow cartridge is a versatile pre-filter across numerous industries:
Water Purification: Pre-treatment for RO systems (security filtration) and seawater desalination plants.
Power Generation: Condensate water filtration in power plants.
Process Industries: Filtration in petrochemical, pharmaceutical, food & beverage (beverages, wine, water), electronics (high-purity water), and chemical production.
Conclusion
In summary, the HFU660UY100H13 is a high-flow, pleated depth filter cartridge designed for large-scale industrial water pretreatment. Its core value lies in providing reliable, high-efficiency protection for downstream equipment (like RO membranes) by removing suspended solids. Its design emphasizes high single-cartridge throughput, extended service life, and reduced system complexity and maintenance costs.
