Solid Brass VJR125TM Air Eliminator Valve Spirovent Air And Dirt Separator

Air Eliminators improve the circulation of pressurised liquids by eliminating air and other non-condensable gases, which may collect at high points in the system. An air eliminator is a segment of piping which attaches to a main pipe to trap and release air, fitted ahead of flow meters in a pipeline so that air will not be measured and a more accurate volumetric reading can therefore be taken.

Steam is one of the best insulators and therefore it is imperative it is removed. Any air that is in a steam system will travel to the highest point, therefore, an air eliminator is also used on the steam main at the highest point to remove any air in the system prior to process equipment.

Air eliminators are typically made from metal (such as aluminium or steel) or polyvinyl-chloride (PVC) and typical applications include cold water lines, suction lines to pumps, mixing tanks, condensate return lines, cooling water lines on air compressors, and water storage tanks.
