New High Efficiency Filtration from LAKOS Sets New Standard and Saves Energy

March 7, 2013 - PRLog -- LAKOS Filtration has introduced a new line of high efficiency HVAC filtration solutions which provide more filtration using less energy. The all-new patented LAKOS eHTX Separator helps maintain downstream thermal efficiency of heat transfer surfaces. The eHTX Separator is the latest in technology from LAKOS, the leader in liquid-solid filtration for HVAC applications. These new eHTX Centrifugal Separators remove 98% of solids down to 44 micron (325 mesh) in a single pass, and 99% removal down to 25 micron (550 mesh) in a recirculating system. All claims are verified by independent, third party testing.

Engineering innovations in the new eHTX separators include refined Swirlex Slots™ geometries, improved vortex stabilization, and an enhanced Vortube™ - all patented features - that come together to create an industry leading, state-of-the-art, separator.

The new eHTX separators are also included with LAKOS High Efficiency eTCX Tower Clean Systems, which help keep the cooling tower basin free of suspended solids that cause scale, corrosion, fouling and biological activity. Controlling these factors leads to lower maintenance, improved chemical effectiveness, longer cooling tower and downstream equipment life, and a significant decrease in long-term water and energy costs.

The new eTCX Tower Clean Systems include a NEMA Premium 1750RPM TEFC motor which provides superior efficiency, greater returns on investment, and meets most urban noise abatement levels.  It also offers multiple purging options, including fail-safe valve for zero maintenance or solids collection device for zero water loss, or both. The new eTCX is capable of removing solids from a wide range of common HVAC applications, including basin sweeping, side stream, and closed loop applications.

The accessories themselves are also part of the new product line up from LAKOS. A new Solids Recovery Vessel (SRV-833) features double capacity to allow for fewer bag change outs, while maintaining zero water loss capabilities. A newly redesigned tower basin sweeping HydroBooster™ (eHB) operates at 10psi, 50% less than the standard HydroBooster. The new Electric Fail-Safe Valve (EFS) eliminates manual purging and includes a battery backup.
