Alphacool ES Big Inline Particle Filter

The ES Big Inline 2x G1/4" IT particle filter from Alphacool's Enterprise Solutions series can be integrated into a cooling loop and enables filtering of harmful particles that can find its way into the system. Thanks to the Big Inline Particle Filter, damage to the pump and other components due to contamination is virtually eliminated.

Use
As long as there is available space, the ES Big Inline particle filter is able to sit at any position in the server housing, as long as it can sit vertically. The filter may only be used standing upright on the acrylic cylinder and with the IN/OUT connections on top. Horizontal positioning is not possible!

Connection options
The particle filter is equipped with 2x G1/2" connections (In/Out). Additional adapters are included in the scope of delivery. These allow the filter to be easily converted to 2x G1/4" connections by means of a hexagonal spanner.

Function
Due to the large surface area of the screen filter, the flow velocity of the coolant inside the particle filter decreases considerably and suspended particles can slowly settle to the bottom. However, the lowering of the flow velocity within the filter has no detrimental effect on the general flow of the water cooling loop.

Maintenance
The particle filter has a crystal-clear acrylic cylinder, which is used to collect suspended matter and provides a visual check on the state of contamination. The large volume of the cylinder and the resulting absorption capacity of dirt particles considerably extends the maintenance intervals. When installing the ES Inline particle filter, a ball valve can be placed in front of the IN connection and behind the OUT connection. This makes it much easier to remove the particle filter for maintenance (cleaning).
