MAGNETIC SEPARATOR COMPRISING A FLEXIBLE MEMBER

摘要

A fluid circulation system for circulating an amount of fluid between heat exchangers through a circulation circuit, the fluid circulation system comprising a magnetic separator 1, 101, 201 including: a collection chamber 3, 03, 203 having an inlet 5, 105, 205 for receiving a flow of fluid susceptible of containing suspended particles 21, 121 having ferromagnetic properties and an outlet 7, 107, 207 for allowing the fluid to flow out of the collection chamber; a fluid flow path defined between the inlet and the outlet, including an interior 9, 109, 209 of the collection chamber; a substantially tubular sleeve 11, 111, 211 positioned in the fluid flow path interiorly of the collection chamber, the substantially tubular sleeve having a fluid tight interior; a magnet device 13, 13, 213 accommodated within the fluid tight interior of the substantially tubular sleeve for creating a magnetic field on at least a first exterior portion of the substantially tubular sleeve. The magnet device is adapted for translatory movement along a predefined first path 16A, 116A, 216A in a first sense in the substantially tubular sleeve. The magnetic separator further includes a substantially elongate flexible member 19, 119, 219 having a first end 19A, 119A, 219A attached to the magnet device and a second end 19B, 19B, 219B extending externally of the substantially tubular sleeve, the second end of the flexible member being arranged to be subjected to an actuating movement along a second path 16B, 116B, 216B in a second sense so as to actuate the translatory movement of the magnet device.
