Capture, clean, expel: how Ronningen-Petter systems from Eaton work
Literature
Specifications
- Body Diameter
- 4 in / 101.8 mm
- Element Styles Available

Additional Choices of Media Material Configuration
ACCUFLUX® – seven-tube or fifteen-tube media configuration more than doubles surface area, compared to single-element filters of the same size
TRI-CLUSTER® – three-tube 1 1/2″ diameter media for 40 percent greater surface area than single element designs, with an economical initial investment
Cake Formation Increases Operational Efficiency
While the filtration media provides some of the filtration action, collected contaminants actually further increase efficiency. We call this phenomenon “cake formation.” The collected solids (or “cake”) trap additional contaminants. The key to making this principle work is timely cleaning – too soon and you lose the benefit, too late and the system flow becomes hindered.
Ronningen-Petter systems come factory pre-set to backwash when the differential pressure from inlet to outlet reaches 15 psi (1 bar) – typically the optimum time to initiate backwashing, although this is adjustable.
