Introduction

Thank you for purchasing theTLV separator filter.

This product has been thoroughly inspected before being shipped from the

factory. When the product is delivered, before doing anything else, check the

specifications and external appearance to make sure nothing is out of the

ordinary. Also be sure to read this manual carefully before use and follow the

instructions to be sure of using the product properly.

The SF1 separator filter combines a high-performance filter with a cyclone

separator that removes dirt, scale and condensate (entrained moisture) by

means of centrifugal force and gravity. The SF1 can be used for both

separator and filter applications. It is suitable for use in steam and air mains,

and in applications calling for high-quality steam and air.

If detailed instructions for special order specifications or options not contained

in this manual are required, please contactTLV for full details.

This instruction manual is intended for use with the model(s) listed on the front

cover. It is necessary not only for installation, but for subsequent

maintenance, disassembly/reassembly and troubleshooting. Please keep it in

a safe place for future reference.

Installation

Install properly and DO NOT use this product outside the recommended

operating pressure, temperature and other specification ranges.

Improper use may result in such hazards as damage to the product or

malfunctions that may lead to serious accidents. Local regulations may restrict

the use of this product to below the conditions quoted.

Use hoisting equipment for heavy objects (weighing approximately 20 kg

(44 lb) or more).

Failure to do so may result in back strain or other injury if the object should fall.

Make sure the nut on the body clamp is fully tightened.

Failure to do so may result in burns or other injury from the discharge of fluids.

Take measures to prevent people from coming into direct contact with

product outlets.

Failure to do so may result in burns or other injury from the discharge of fluids.

Installation, inspection, maintenance, repairs, disassembly, adjustment and valve

opening/closing should be carried out only by trained maintenance personnel.

1. Ensure the filter grade (m) is correct by checking the numbers at the end of the

model name on the nameplate and on the bottom of the filter.

2. Before installation, be sure to remove all protective seals.

3. Install the product in a location where the removal and filtration of entrained dirt,

scale and condensate would be most effective. (For example, on a main or

branch at the inlet of equipment requiring high-quality dry steam.)

4. Install valves (A) (B) at the inlet and outlet of the separator filter and a piping

blowdown pipe/valve (C) before the inlet valve (A). (See the "Typical Piping Flow"

diagram in the "For Longer Filter Life"section.)

5. Before using the product, close the inlet valve (A), open the piping blowdown

valve (C) and blow out the piping to remove any piping scraps, dirt and oil. Close

the piping blowdown valve (C) when finished. (See the "Typical Piping Flow"

diagram in the "For Longer Filter Life"section.)

6. Install pressure gauges at the separator filter inlet and separator filter outlet or the

pressure detection port in order to monitor the pressure differential.

7. Install the product so the arrow on the body is pointing in the direction of steam or

air flow and the condensate outlet is on the bottom.

8. The product must be installed horizontally and with no more than 10° inclination

horizontally and front-to-back.

Tolerance Angle for Installation: 10°

The product should be installed so that the letters TLV on the body are horizontal.

CAUTION

172-65387MA-08 (SF1 Separator Filter) 1 Oct 2021

9. Install discharge piping from the condensate discharge port, including a vertical

union, dirt/scale collection piping, piping blowdown valve (E) and horizontal piping

with steam, air or drain trap and an inlet valve (D) for the trap. (See the "Typical

Piping Flow"diagram in the "For Longer Filter Life"section.)

10. Make sure to install a free float trap that discharges condensate continuously

during operation along with the separator filter.

NOTE: At start-up, large amounts of initial condensate are generated. Also,

during batch operation, a large amount of condensate may accumulate in

the piping when operation stops. If there are concerns that a large

amount of condensate could flow into the separator filter, make sure to

install a piping blowdown valve at the inlet of the separator filter to ensure

that the condensate is eliminated, or install a steam trap with sufficient

discharge capacity even when the pressure differential is extremely low.

(See "For Longer Filter Life"items 1, 2 and 3.)

11. Close the dirt/scale blowdown valve (E) below the dirt/scale collection piping,

open the separator filter inlet valve (A), outlet valve (B) and the trap inlet valve

(D), and ensure that the separator filter functions properly. (See the "Typical

Piping Flow"diagram in the "For Longer Filter Life"section.)

12. After letting some live steam/air enter the filter, allow the separator filter to cool to

ambient temperature, and then tighten the clamp further.

Ensure the maintenance space is sufficient for maintenance (i.e. replacement of

internal filter).

For Longer Filter Life

Make sure to perform the following to prevent the inflow of a large amount of

condensate during start-up. (See the "Typical Piping Flow"diagram below.)

1. Operate inlet valve (A) being careful not to open it quickly.

2. If condensate accumulates when inlet valve (A) is closed, open blowdown valve

3. If a blowdown valve has not been installed, a steam trap with sufficient discharge

capacity even when the pressure differential is extremely low must be installed on

the separator filter inlet side considering the initial condensate amount.

4. The trap outlet piping should not be located close to other trap outlet piping or

backflow may occur. If other outlet piping is close by, install check valves close to

each trap outlet.

5. If the trap outlet piping is raised, install a check valve close to the trap outlet to

prevent backflow of condensate when the equipment stops.

6. The trap outlet pipe end should not be under water. If it must be under water,

install a check valve close to the trap outlet or make a small hole in the outlet

piping to prevent backflow of water due to vacuum formation inside the piping.

To Minimize Pressure Loss Effects

Pressure loss across the separator filter increases the longer it is in service, resulting

in a continuous decrease in secondary pressure. If a slight drop in secondary

pressure will affect the process, refer to the "In cases where more stable pressure is

needed" piping flow diagram shown below.

The effects of gradually increasing pressure loss can be minimized. However, this

does not mean that the service life of the clogging filter can be prolonged.

In cases where more stable pressure is needed

Installing a COSPECT pressure reducing valve* with an external pressure sensing

line from the outlet of the SF1 will help supply stable pressure and minimize pressure

drop, which gradually increases due to build-up of dirt/scale at the filter.

1. When dirt and scale build up, SF1 outlet pressure drops.

2. Pressure reducing valve detects the pressure drop and automatically increases

SF1 inlet pressure.

3. The SF1 outlet pressure rises to maintain set pressure**.

*If a pressure reducing valve other than COSPECT (with built-in strainer, separator, and

steam trap) is installed, a pipe tee and piping with a valve for condensate discharge must be

installed ahead of the pressure reducing valve for the SF1 inlet.

** If it becomes impossible to adjust the pressure with the pressure reducing valve due to

build-up of dirt/scale, clean or replace the filter.
