Armstrong Vortex Air Separators
- 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 (MOC)-Cast iron or fabricated steel (shell), stainless steel mesh (strainer)
Description
Benefits & Features
