Separators
AAtanks offers 2 distinct groups of separators: Air Separators and Air & Dirt Separators. Air separators are used to separate entrained air in water through forced flow patterns. Air & dirt separators are designed to eliminate entrained air and separate debris associated with start-up and maintenance of any hydronic system.
Air Separators
Tangential / Vortex Air Separators (ASME)
Air separators eliminate air quickly and efficiently from closed loop heating and cooling systems. Water enters and exits through unique tangential nozzle connections, which promote a low velocity swirling vortex effect in the center of the unit. Natural centrifugal forces allow the heavier air-free water to move towards the outer edges, while entrained air is captured by the stainless steel collection tube and released to the top of the separator. This air can then be redirected to the compression tank, or released out of the system through an automatic air vent.
