Where are Strainers Located in a System?

Explanation:

Strainers are typically located in the pump suction line. Their main function is to remove particles and debris from the liquid that enters a pump to prevent damage to the pump and downstream equipment, such as the heat exchanger.

By placing the strainer on the suction side, the pump is protected from ingesting harmful elements that can cause abrasion, clogging, or impeller damage, which could lead to a decrease in performance or even a system failure.
