LEFILTER | Self cleaning sand removal filtration unit helps stabilize the operation of lithium extraction projects from salt lakes in the photovoltaic industry

Lefilter2026-01-29 BACK TO LIST

In the vast land of northwest China, the two industries of photovoltaic power generation and salt lake 

lithium extraction are experiencing rapid development. These areas are prone to frequent sandstorms 

and dust, posing a severe challenge to the ventilation and heat dissipation systems of core facilities 

such as substations and computer rooms due to the presence of dust particles in the air.

The accumulation of dust inside the equipment affects the heat dissipation efficiency, which may 

lead to equipment failure, shortened lifespan, and increased maintenance costs. How to effectively 

resist sandstorms and ensure the stable operation of equipment has become a common concern in 

the industry.


Addressing common challenges

Innovative solution for self-cleaning sand removal and filtration unit

25

In response to the ventilation challenges in high dust environments, self-cleaning sand removal and 

filtration units have emerged. This product adopts an innovative V+T type filtration module and pure 

mechanical structure, which can provide high air volume ventilation while efficiently removing dust 

from the air, and achieve automatic cleaning and maintenance free operation.


Self cleaning sand removal and filtration unit

Core advantages of the product


01 Automatic centrifugal sand removal

The sand and dust are effectively separated by centrifugal force inside the unit and automatically 

discharged outdoors, without the need for manual intervention, truly achieving unmanned operation.


02 High efficiency filtration performance

The filtration efficiency is over 95%, effectively blocking coarse and fine particles from entering the 

interior of the equipment and protecting the rear air conditioning and ventilation system.


03 Low wind resistance modular design

The compact structure achieves high ventilation efficiency in a limited space, supports flexible 

combinations, and adapts to the needs of different sites.


04 Long life maintenance free

No consumables, no need to replace filter element, significantly reducing maintenance costs 

in the later stage, especially suitable for long-term use in harsh environments.


Application scenario extension

Extracting lithium from salt lakes to photovoltaic power plants

Qinghu Salt Lake Lithium Extraction Substation

The project is equipped with 4 units of GRD-A312 type (air volume 25000m ³/h) and 2 units of GRD-A422 

type (air volume 60000m ³/h), effectively solving the problem of dust accumulation in the computer room 

and ensuring the stable operation of power equipment.


Photovoltaic power stations in the northwest region

In multiple large-scale photovoltaic projects, self-cleaning sand removal and filtration units also play a key 

role in preventing dust intrusion, improving system power generation efficiency and equipment reliability.


The self-cleaning sand removal filter unit, with its high efficiency, reliability, and maintenance free technical 

characteristics, is becoming the preferred ventilation solution in high dust environments in the industry. 

Whether it is a lithium extraction substation in a salt lake or a photovoltaic power station in the desert, they 

are silently guarding the "respiratory system" of the core equipment and ensuring the stable operation of 

industry project bases.
