Description
Vortex Air Separators
Improved system efficiency and operating economy
- Effective air removal right at system start-up
- Increased heat transfer efficiencies in boilers, fan coils and chillers, for lasting energy savings
- Fewer ‘air lock’ incidences for increased pumping efficiency
- Less corrosion and erosion, extending service intervals and overall system life
- Reduced system noises
Low installed cost
- Space saving design
Applications
-
- Air removal from hydronic and HVAC systems – air can get trapped during initial fill, during routine equipment maintenance (including pressure upkeep), and due to the use of cooling towers
Description
-
- The Armstrong vortex air separators create a vortex or whirlpool action, sending the heavier air-free water to the outer portion of the tank, and allowing the lighter air-entrained water mixture to move into the lower-velocity center. At the center of the vortex the air is released from the water, forms bubbles and exits through an air vent or compression tank installed above it.
Materials
- Cast iron or fabricated steel (shell), stainless steel mesh (strainer)
