What is the air eliminator?
Air eliminator is a pipe segment that is attached to the main piece of pipe to the trap and air release. In systems in which the fluid flow is measured by the meter, the eliminator is usually connected in front of the meter and at the top of the main line. The main purpose of air eliminators is to prevent air passing through the meter, which would cause inaccurate volume values. Most pipe systems used in boilers and cooling in residential housing and production facilities use air eliminators. Flow meters cannot be distinguished between liquids and air, so air eliminators are installed in front of meters in the pipeline to prevent the air from measuring. In this way, the volume values of the meters are more accurate. Excessive wear or damage to the unit can also be reduced if the flow of liquid is without air.
The typical air air is a circular piece of water material made of metal, such as aluminum or steel. Some types are made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Eliminators of metal airThey are susceptible to corrosion caused by water, vapor or refrigerant flow, as well as excessive air capture. PVC has not rinsed, but can clean harmful chemicals into the passable liquid.
Theair eliminator consists of a metal or plastic case, valve and air hole. Housing has an input where the liquid is flowing and the output located at the top where air is released. The valve is attached to the floating building with a lever. The entire valve unit is responsible for detecting and pushing the air above the liquid surface. The air venting captures the air and then releases it either by manual operation or when the pressure limits are impaired in the automatic air excretion.
Manual and mechanical air eliminators are relatively cheap and simple repairs. However, it requires more labor and in the long run it may not be costly in the long run due to more frequent repairs. AutomaticallyThe air eliminator can provide more accurate volume measurements, but is more expensive than mechanical.
Air eliminators should be tested after installation and regularly maintained. Technicians recommend checking the air openings of these devices at least twice a year. The life and condition of these devices may be extended by installing the separator with a network capture of solids that can store in the air eliminator. Replacing the air eliminator is recommended after five years.
