Sump

Mud collector for the return circuit of the heating system - is a device designed to filter and remove contaminants from coolant, circulating in the heating system. It is installed on the return circuit before the boiler or other equipment, protecting them from solid particles such as rust, sand and sludge that may form during the operation of the system.

Mud collector: design and operating principle

  • Coupling type: The device of the sedimentary coupling type usually has threaded connections, which simplify its installation and dismantling. This makes it convenient for installation in heating systems of various sizes and configurations.
  • Filter element: Inside the housing there is a mesh or perforated filter that traps solid particles, preventing them from entering the boiler or circulation pump.
  • Sedimentation tank: The bulk of the contaminants settle in the lower part of the device body (sump), from where they can be removed through a special drain valve or hole.

Features and Benefits:

  • Equipment protection: The mud collector prevents solid particles from entering the boiler, pumps and heat exchangers, which increases the service life of the equipment and reduces the risk of breakdowns.
  • Improving system efficiency: Clean coolant ensures better heat transfer and reduces energy consumption of the heating system.
  • Ease of maintenance: Mudguards are easy to maintain - to clean, simply remove the housing and take out the filter element, rinse it and put it back in place.

Application:

Mud traps are used in various heating systems, especially in those where it is important to protect the boiler and other equipment from contamination. This is especially relevant for systems with a long service life, where a large amount of sediment can accumulate.
