TANGENTIAL AIR SEPARATORS

Advantages of Air Separation and Elimination

The proper application of Emerald Tangential Air Separator devices will solve System Air problems. These key components are necessary in the design and construction of closed circulations systems.

The Emerald line of Tangential Air Separators designed with tangential openings to create a low velocity vortex where entrained air is separated and removed from circulation water or anti-freeze in a closed system. In addition, these tangential air separators can be supplied with a stainless strainer to collect unwanted system debris.

Emerald Tangential Air Separators are ideally suited to help eliminate problems often associated with trapped systems air such as blocked terminals units, inefficient pump operation and performance, and costly corrosion and fouling of equipment.

The Keys To Efficient Air Separation And Elimination

• Laminar Flow

• Low Pressure drop across the air separator.

• Recommended maximum system fluid velocity of 6 feet/second (1.83M/S).

Pressure Drop performance Curves

The Emerald Air Separator flow chart indicates pressure drop in feet (meters) of water versus flow in gallons per minute (L/sec) with strainer. This is the recommended method for properly computing pressure drop in Emerald Air Separators. (For any technical assistance please contact our engineering department).

Designing the Ideal System Flow Rate

Emerald Sizing Theorem the closer you can design your system flow rate to six feet/second (1.83m/s), the greater the percentage of air elimination on each pass through the air separator. (For any technical assistance please contact our engineering department).
