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 produce a whirlpool or vortex motion that allows the lighter air-entrained water mixture to flow into the lower-velocity core while conveying the heavier air-free water to the tank's outside section. An air vent or compression tank is positioned above the center of the vortex, where the air is released from the water, creates bubbles, and then escapes.

 

Materials

 

Cast iron or fabricated steel (shell), stainless steel mesh (strainer)
