Air Separators
Air Separators efficiently separate and release 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. It is available in horizontal and vertical mounting
designs.

DESIGN FEATURES

l Rugged construction
l High venting capacity air eliminator
l Large liquid settling volume with internal baffles
l Custom suited design codes (ASME, DIN)

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

An Air Separator consists of a mild steel cylindrical tank


supported on a stand. The unit 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 and separate to the top of the tank, 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 and the air escapes through
the main valve. As liquid rises in the air eliminator, the
float rises to lift the pilot valve, thereby closing the air
release opening of main valve.
