Spirovent Separators

The Dutch company offers a line air separator SPIROTECH Spirovent. The devices are designed to remove sludge and gases from the liquid coolant heating and air-conditioning chillers.

Unlike conventional cartridge filter, used for mechanical cleaning of water separators operate on the principle of stopping the flow. The novelty of it makes an unusual design trap – a patented invention by Dutch engineers. This is a special way around the copper tube soldered copper wire – the endless spiral of Spiro.

The result is a structure capable to remove solids sludge (mud) up to 5 microns, are not blocked and is not increasing the hydraulic resistance. Plus design in the absence of replacement cartridges. Lifetime separators 30 years.

The design of tubes Spiro and the chassis ensures that flow deceleration that stand out from the bubbles of dissolved gases (air) and climb into an air chamber, and the sludge sinks to the bottom. The air bleed through the automatic valve, and the sludge is discharged through the tap.

The line includes models with a threaded connection is vertical and horizontal pipes (with diameters from 1 / 2 inch to 11 / 2 inches, and with the flange connection of large horizontal pipes designed to flow water over 8 m3 / h. The devices cut into the pipeline and directly can operate at a temperature of 110 ° C and a pressure of 10 bar.

Air-free water for radiant heating system by Spirovent

The air separator is a special tube made of copper fitted with woven copper wires soldered to the side wall of the tube. It has been designed to separate air from water. In order to achieve this objective, the mixture of air and water is made to pass through the system in reduced velocity to separate the air. It effectively gets separated from water and binds with the medium. Free and trapped air is absorbed, dissolved and finally eliminated. The smallest micro bubble is also allowed to rise. As water passes through the tube, the velocity gets reduced and allows the separation of air. It eliminates the dirt in water through a side valve. Prior to the introduction of this system, many methods such as the centrifugal air separator were tried but could not produce the desired results.

The air eliminator comes in varied configurations to meet the requirements of different heating or cooling systems. The noise created by the systems would be cut down because of the air removal. It would therefore be feasible to go for such superior quality Spirovent systems that can significantly enable one to achieve the desired results.

Spirovent Jr Air Eliminator – How it works, features, advantages.

Unique features of the Spirovent systems

The Spirovent systems (like 3/4″ Threaded, Spirovent Jr Air Eliminator 1″ Threaded, Spirovent Jr Air Eliminator) are unique and they stand out in a group of their kind. These are used to separate and eliminate air from the water used in heating or cooling systems. In many cold countries, floor heating is of paramount importance. This is done by fixing a layer of tubes under the floor and then heated water is circulated in them. The water that circulates has to be conditioned. The air in it has to be removed as it produces lot of noise. It leads to corrosion which in turn may lead to frequent replacements. Such replacements turn out to be very expensive and troublesome.

The Spirovent systems are made of sturdy brass that offers exceptional durability. Where a large volume of water is to be handled, these systems are made of steel. The warranty is for twenty years which says it all about their reliability. The feature that makes them stand apart is the technology they use to separate air and eventually eliminate it. Many methods have been tried but none could attain the 99.6 percent expulsion of air. It is the use of a binding medium, the special spiratube design that makes the air eliminator all the more effective. Both the tube and the head design are patented. It is easy to install which can be accomplished with great convenience without any hassles.

Advantages of Spirotherm Air Eliminator

Noisy interrupting sounds and inadequate cooling mechanics are some of the discrepancies that arise due to ineffective working of in-built mechanics. To avoid such problems, two units of utmost relevance are air separators and air eliminators. These are two such mechanisms that are widely used in all kinds of liquid systems for varied applicability.

There are number of such eliminators available in market. However, the best among them are Spirovent Air Eliminators from Spirotherm. Only products build by them offer great quality and deliver effective outcomes. The Air eliminator or air vent mechanism built with Spirovent provides most reliable results. It is an excellent device with great advantages such as:

  • High venting capacity is provided by it.
  • It greatly prevents the pipette effect.
  • Large distance of water is built that prevents contamination of air valve. It is vital as such contamination can lead to further leakages.
  • A wide range for different pressures and temperatures is provided by it.

Noiseless heating and cooling systems with spirovent

Spirovent Air Separators

The heating or the cooling system’s efficiency and life mainly depend on the quality of water being used. The system becomes noisy and mixture of air and water causes corrosion. Both the problems are solved by using Spirovent air eliminator. It is used to separate air from a mixture of air and water in the presence of a special medium. It eliminates air up to 99.6 percent from water and air mixture. The spirovent air eliminators make no noise and ensure uninterrupted processes. It does not account for problems like gurgling, bleeding or purging. The vent is also specially constructed. They are made of brass which is a very sturdy and long lasting material.

The mechanism that is used is patented. All the features put together make it the best product available in the market. It is best for use in systems of high velocity. They are very different from others found in the market in terms of construction and medium in use. They are very easy to install and use. The warranty that the company gives for the air eliminator is twenty years which is quite remarkable. The system is entirely hassle-free and extremely cost effective.  There are available in many sizes in both thread and sweat model.

Inefficiency of a system is caused because of air in the water that is being used for heating or cooling. The amount of air present in the water causes corrosion thereby causing inefficiency in cooling and heating procedures. The spirotherm technology helps in establishing an efficient system. Various systems were used which did not produce satisfactory results. None of them could match the spirotherm technology.

These air eliminators have been designed in such a way that air in any form can be separated; entrained, free or trapped pockets. The air separator and air eliminator together forms a reliable system to produce air free water for circulation. The air separator is a tube designed to allow even the smallest micro bubbles of air a chance to coalesce and rise. It also gets rid of the dirt floating on water. It is a patented tube fitted with a copper wire soldered to the side of a copper tube.

The air eliminators are found in many configurations which give one an opportunity to select the one that is most suitable pertaining to specific requirements. Its easy installation would increase the efficiency that enables heating and cooling systems to work quietly and effectively.
