The present invention relates to a device (1) for filtering a fluid circulating in a plumbing and
heating system, comprising a body (2) defining therewithin a
filtration chamber (3) that is destined to have a fluid to be subjected to
filtration pass through it. The body is provided with a first inlet / outlet opening (10), a second inlet / outlet opening (20) and a third inlet / outlet opening (30): each of which sets the
filtration chamber (3) in communication with the outside of the device and can be associated with a line of the
system to receive therefrom, or send thereto a fluid entering or exiting said body of the device. The device operates a passage of fluid through the filtration chamber (3), in a selective manner according to a plurality of operative configurations, from an opening between said first (10), second (20) and third inlet / outlet opening (30) to a further opening between said first, second and third inlet / outlet opening. The device further comprises filtering members (40) housed inside the filtration chamber and interposed between the inlet / outlet openings to perform filtering of the fluid passing through the filtration chamber; the filtering members comprise a
mechanical filter (41) arranged in the filtration chamber and structured so as to divide the filtration chamber into a first sub-chamber (A), a second sub-chamber (B) and a third sub-chamber (C), in which the first sub-chamber is in fluid communication, without passing through the
mechanical filter, with the first inlet / outlet opening, the second sub-chamber is in fluid communication, without passing through the
mechanical filter, with the second inlet / outlet opening, and the third sub-chamber is in fluid communication, without passing through the mechanical filter, with the third inlet / outlet opening.
