Around the disc edge, the vacuum effect of lower static pressure makes the filtered water back-flush the filter element surface Flow velocity increases around the disc and the static pressure around the disc decreases because of the Bernoulli principle. When the cleaning action triggered, the disc moves into the filter element and water passes through the gap between the disc and the filter element. The filter element of AF filter is cleaned by the cleaning disc mounted on the pneumatic cylinder rod. The AF filter works in BERNOULLI principle, which leads to the simple and highly reliable filtering operation. AF Filter removes debris and particles from natural water sources such as sea water or river water.

The AF series Bernoulli self-cleaning Filter (AF filter for short) is designed for continuous filtration of water in pressurized systems. This vent test kit will help you to determine if the venting is restricted and needs to be cleaned.

If you are still unsure if your vent is clear, a dryer vent test, part #W11224254, is available for all dryer platforms. However, if you feel little to no air movement, your house venting is probably restricted. If you feel air movement, your house venting is probably clear. No air movement - If your lint screen is located on the top of your dryer, this is easy to check: pull out the lint screen, and set the controls to "Air Dry" or "Air Fluff." Start the dryer, and place your hand inside the lint trap area.You may also see lint building up around the dryer door, or on the clothing.
You may see very little lint accumulating, and only at the bottom of the lint screen. Lack of lint on the Lint Screen - Because there is little air movement, the lint from the clothing does not get removed and on to the inside lint trap (screen).You may think the dryer (or even the washer) is leaking water on the floor. This may cause water puddles on the floor, usually behind the dryer. Water dripping on the floor - Because the moisture inside the dryer is not being released to the outside, it may accumulate inside the dryer, or inside the venting material.If your dryer has an electronic display, you may also see the display steaming over. You may notice steam on the door (if you have a glass door), or when opening the door. If the vent is restricted, the steam will remain inside the dryer. Steam/Moisture in the dryer - Moisture and heat together will produce steam, similar to a sauna.Dryer is very warm to the touch - Because the heat stays inside the dryer, the outside of the dryer could feel very warm to the touch, especially on the sides and near the bottom.It could take multiple cycles to get a load of clothing dry when the vent is blocked or restricted. Because the hot, wet air cannot leave the dryer as easily, the clothing can still be damp at the end of a cycle. Long Dry Times - The most common indicator of house venting being restricted is longer than normal dry times.There are many things that may indicate your house venting could be restricted.
