Y strainer with automatic flush filter

摘要

A liquid Y-strainer having a filter which can be automatically flushed without system shutdown or easily and quickly removed for cleaning or replacement, as needed. The Y-strainer includes a conduit which is connected to a liquid flow system such as a drain system for wet scrubbers or water cooling systems used in the fabrication of semiconductors, for example. A typically conical filter housing extends from the conduit and contains a typically removable, conical filter for screening particles from the liquid conveyed through the conduit.
