Use and sizing

At 95% UVT and 20 °C, at the end of lamp life, the published flows are 600 L/min at 40 mJ/cm² and 790 L/min at 30 mJ/cm². Select the required dose and check the water analysis before using either value for sizing.

Installation

The SHF-180 has 4 lamps and a 316L stainless-steel chamber. The specified water temperature range is 2–40 °C, with a maximum operating pressure of 8.62 bar. Allow space around the chamber for the maintenance operations described in the manual.

Maintenance

The UV lamp and quartz sleeve are service components. Follow the model-specific manual for inspection, cleaning and replacement, and provide access to the chamber and controller during installation.
