Boiler air eliminator.

Ferguson is the 1 us plumbing supply company and a top distributor of hvac parts waterworks supplies and mro products. To function properly the air must be eliminated and these air eliminators are designed to remove trapped air micro bubbles and dirt from heating cooling and domestic water systems. As water temperature increases pressure decreases. An air eliminator will reduce air in your heating system which will allow for quiet operation and minimize costs.

While terms air eliminator and air separator are often used interchangeably and some manufacturers prefer one term over the other they are both used to indicate a device which collects and eliminates the air from the water in a heating or cooling system. Honeywell s hygrovent is an automatic air vent for hot water and steam systems. Product may vary by store. In that condition the water will provide excellent heat transfer air is an insulator not a good conductor and virtually eliminate noise air makes noise in a hydronic system.

Remember an air separator is a multi pass device and over time it will scrub out air and can bring the dissolved air content down to less than 0 5 of system volume.

Automatic air removal from hot water heating systems avoids air bound boilers baseboards radiators radiant heat loops. As pressure decreases air is released from the water. When air is present in a hydronic heating system it causes faster aging of cast iron components and leads to formation of air gaps. Solid brass construction integral patented air release mechanism and a 20 year limited warranty.
