The Bell & Gossett Suction Diffuser Plus is designed for direct application to the pump suction and provides ideal flow conditions for the pump, providing NPSH requirements are met. Its integrated Flow Cone directs flow through the unit and into the pump suction while working with the full length straightening vanes to create a more uniform flow profile. The orifice cylinder has a free area equal to 5 times the cross section of the pump suction opening and serves as a coarse strainer to protect the pump from large sediment. The disposable start-up strainer helps to clean the system during the first 24 - 48 hrs of operation before it is removed. Its optional pressure temperature ports allow you to verify that the start-up strainer has been removed without the need to take the unit apart.
