Air Separators efficiently separate & remove air or entrained gas from liquid products before they are metered. This is an essential requirement of any volume metering system for achieving a high measurement accuracy.Download Literature in pdf format.

DESIGN FEATURES

• Rugged construction.
• High venting capacity Air Eliminator.
• Large liquid settling volume with internal baffles.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION

An Air Separator consists of a fabricated cylindrical shell supported on a stand. The shell has a large cross-sectional area, which slows down the flow of liquid. An internal baffle plate arrangement assists any entrained air or gas to coalesce & separate to the top of the shell, where a high venting capacity Air Eliminator is fitted.

The Air Eliminator consists of a stainless steel float connected to a pilot valve via multiple linkages. When air collects in the Air Eliminator, the buoyant force acting on the float reduces & the float drops down along with the pilot valve connected to the linkage & the air escapes. With no air present, the float remains buoyant to keep the air release valve closed. Air Separators are installed upstream & close to Flow Meter inlet in horizontal position.

APPLICATIONS

• Removal of entrained bulk air or vapour from the metering system pipeline.
