Air separators
www.caleffi.com
Air separation increases a solar heating system’s life by continuously and automatically eliminating air, including microbubbles, from primary circuits. This is an essential process in a solar heating system, as these gases can rapidly cause corrosion in collectors and heat exchangers. These air separators remove corrosive gases mechanically in a process that is economical and thermally efficient. Caleffi North America.
