The Fernox CC1 Side Stream Filter Air & Dirt 20 is a high-performance side stream filtration, air removal and chemical dosing unit designed for commercial and industrial closed-loop HVAC systems up to 20,000 litres.
It provides magnetic filtration, antimicrobial fine filtration down to 0.5 micron, automatic air venting and an integrated 2.1L dosing pot, all within a robust 316 stainless steel vessel.
The CC1 continuously removes magnetic and non-magnetic debris, microbubbles, dirt and bacterial contamination, helping extend the lifespan and maintain the efficiency of boilers, chillers, heat exchangers and pumps.
Combined unit with magnetic filter, antimicrobial cartridge, air removal and dosing pot for complete system protection
The Fernox CC1 Side Stream Filter Air & Dirt 20 is an all-in-one solution engineered to deliver effective water quality management in commercial HVAC systems. It combines magnetic separation, fine particulate filtration, air removal and chemical dosing in a single compact, wall-mounted unit.
The unit is supplied as a complete package, including a 0.5 micron antimicrobial cartridge filter, thermal jacket, pressure & temperature gauge and sight flow indicator, together with the neodymium magnet carousel, automatic air vent, stainless steel isolation valves, wall mounting and dedicated drain and fill fittings.
Using a neodymium magnet carousel and an antimicrobial nylon cartridge, the CC1 removes ferrous debris, non-magnetic solids, suspended contaminants, biofouling and entrained air from circulating system water. The antimicrobial cartridge provides filtration down to 0.5 micron, while the automatic air vent continuously releases separated air and microbubbles.
Its 316 stainless steel vessel is polished internally to help minimise bacterial colonisation and support easy cleaning.
The CC1 is designed to support BSRIA BG29 and BG50 requirements for commissioning, maintenance and system water quality management.
With no need to shut the system down for servicing, the CC1 Air & Dirt 20 is ideal for critical environments where uptime is essential.
