Vertikaalikaihtimet

Vertikaalikaihtimet are a type of device used in water treatment systems to remove suspended particles and contaminants from water. They consist of a vertical tank or chamber with a conical bottom that forces water downwards, creating a vortex. As the water spirals downward, particles and contaminants are caught and retained, while clean water is lifted upwards to the top of the tank.

Vertikaalikaihtimet are commonly used in wastewater treatment plants, water treatment facilities, and industrial processes to remove pollutants and excess suspended solids from water. They can handle a wide range of water flows and particle sizes, making them a versatile piece of equipment. The design of the vertikaalikaihtimet allows for easy maintenance and cleaning, which is important in applications where the water is heavily contaminated.

The operating principle of vertikaalikaihtimet relies on the separation of particles based on size and density. As the water spirals downward, particles larger than a certain size are caught in the vortex and fall to the bottom of the tank, while smaller particles and contaminants are carried forward with the water flow. The retained particles can then be removed from the bottom of the tank, leaving behind clean water.

Vertikaalikaihtimet can be designed with a variety of different features and accessories to suit different applications and requirements. These may include automatic sediment removal systems, pumps, and valves to control the flow of water and particles. In some cases, vertikaalikaihtimet may be used in conjunction with other water treatment technologies, such as activated carbon filters or ion exchange systems.
