Marine Y Type Strainer

A Marine Y Type Strainer is a type of filtration device commonly used in marine applications to remove solid particles from fluids such as water, oil, or fuel.

Here's how it typically works:

-Fluid Flow: The fluid flows through the inlet of the strainer.

-Y-Shaped Screen: Inside the strainer, there's a perforated or mesh screen arranged in a Y shape. This screen traps solid particles present in the fluid.

-Filtration: As the fluid passes through the screen, solid particles larger than the screen's mesh size are captured and retained inside the strainer.

-Filtered Fluid: The filtered fluid then exits the strainer through the outlet, free from larger particles.

-Cleaning: Periodically, the strainer needs to be cleaned to remove the accumulated particles. This usually involves shutting off the flow, removing the strainer, and cleaning or replacing the screen.
