· Basket Filter: Its structure is relatively complex. The filter screen is in a basket shape and is installed inside a container or housing. It has a relatively large filtration area and can hold more impurities.
(2) Filtration Capacity· Basket Filter: It has a large filtration area and is suitable for fluid systems with high flow rates and more impurities. Its filtration accuracy is relatively low, but it can hold more impurities.
(3) Maintenance and Cleaning
· Y-type filter: It is easy to maintain. The filter screen can be cleaned by removing the flange cover. However, the cleaning frequency may be relatively high, especially when there are a large number of impurities in the fluid.
· Basket filter: It is convenient to maintain. The filter basket can be taken out separately for cleaning, and the cleaning frequency is relatively low.
(4) Application Scenarios
· Y-type filter: It is suitable for small-scale pipeline systems and low-flow applications, such as the upstream of equipment like compressors, pumps, and valves.
· Basket filter: It is suitable for large-scale pipeline systems and high-flow applications, especially when the fluid contains a large amount of impurities.
II. Selection Guide
(1) Selection Based on Fluid Characteristics
Impurity Content: If there are fewer impurities in the fluid, the Y-type filter is a better choice; if there are more impurities, the basket filter is more suitable.
Flow Rate: The Y-type filter is suitable for low-flow systems; the basket filter is suitable for high-flow systems.
Medium Type: Both filters are applicable to a variety of media, but the Y-type filter is more suitable for fine filtration.
(2) Selection Based on System Requirements
Installation Space: If the installation space is limited, the compact design of the Y-type filter is more suitable; if there is sufficient space, the larger filtration area of the basket filter can provide a better filtration effect.
Maintenance Requirements: If the filter screen needs to be cleaned frequently, the simple structure of the Y-type filter is more convenient for maintenance; if the maintenance frequency needs to be reduced, the larger capacity of the basket filter can reduce the number of maintenance times.
(3) Selection Based on Cost
Initial Cost: The Y-type filter has a simple structure and a lower initial cost; the basket filter has a complex structure and a higher initial cost.
Long-term Benefits: Although the initial cost of the basket filter is higher, its larger filtration area and lower maintenance frequency may be more economical in long-term operation.
