Vortex Air Separators
Brand: Armstrong Fluid Technology
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.
Features- Space saving design
- 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
Specifications
Materials
- Cast Iron
- Fabricated Steel (Shell)
- Stainless Steel Mesh (Strainer)
- 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
