Air Separator
Oxygen inside the water, released when the temperature increases under the pressure. It creates air bubbles in the water. Air bubbles causes corrosion in heating systems and all plumbing pipes leads to cavitation in pumps and installation. The bubbles adhering to heat transfer surfaces reduce the heat permeability and cause loss of efficiency. Causes failure in pumps and other armatures. It causes sounds in the installation pipes and especially in the radiators.
Air seperator collects and puts out the air bubbles in the surface of the specially designed metal filter material. In this way, problems in intallation and heat transfer equipment are prevented and the system is run healthy.
Application Areas:
The working principle of air separator is based on the combination of several principles of physics. The active part consists of expanded stainless steel plate. These plates are placed radially in the body and create strong turbulance by cutting the water flow without any problems in circulation. Created turbulance changes in moving speed and pressure; this causes the release of micro-bubbles.
Due to the influence of molecular gravitational force, these microbubbles tend to accumulate on expanded metal surfaces. Micro bubbles are collected in the air chamber in the upper section where the hydrostatic thrust on metal surfaces exceeds the bond strength to the metal structure. The volume of air regulated by the flotation activates the air exhaust valve and thus drain the unccessary air.
The separator is a device that separates the liquid transported by steam, gas and compressed air in the installation by centrifugal force and makes it dry and clean.
16, 25, 40 Separators are specially designed to maintain high efficiency, variable steam rates and separation efficiency in lines running up to 16, 25, 40 bar. This product can be specially produced from stainless steel for process systems.
Working Principle
It is not possible to distribute liquid droplets regularly across the entire pipe cross section. It is easy to take the liquid that flows from the bottom of the pipe. Those who move freely can only be collected by separators. When the free state and variable size moistred gases enter the seperator, the centrifugal movement begins around conical cyclone downward, and the liquid particles, droplets and sediments in the acclerated gas are swirled away from the wall.
The dry, clean gas with large internal volume goes to the collector conical cyclone, optionally through filtration, and continues to the installation path. The liquid and sediments descend into the collecting chamber below the separating stainless plate, and can not go up. The fluid moves through the filter and it can be drained by steam trap or by hand. The level of the liquid in the collector can be controlled by the control pipe.
Seperator Selection and Efficiency
The separators operate at wide speed range, which improves system efficiency.In general, the connection is selected based on the pipe diameter. But in real sense, it is necessary to determine the separator diameter according to the selection input pressure and the flow rate. 99% of the water droplets over 10 microns disintegrate the entire solid particles. The pressure loss in such separators is less than 0.95%.
Pressurised Air Applications
The air that the compressor absorbs with dust and various particles is compressed by the burnt oil from the compressor. If the water, oil and residue can not be seperate, it could spread all the line .
The Seperator to be used at the compressor outlet separates 99% of the water particles and all the solid particles from the air. When high precision air is required, dryers and filters should be used.
