Vortex Air Separator

Aone-Best VAS02/05 Vortex Air Separator is used in the circulating water pipe of air conditioning system to separate the air from the system and to discharge the collected air through the Air Release Valve at the top of the system. Through this function, the air in the system can be removed, the pipe resistance can be reduced, the noise can be reduced, the service life of the system accessories can be improved, and the conveying efficiency of the system can be improved.


The working principle of the vertex air separator is to make the water flowing into the separator rotate around the center through its special design structure. Due to the influence of centrifugal force, bubbles and water are separated, gathered at the top of the separator, accumulated to a certain amount and then discharged by the air release valve. Therefore, the higher velocity is beneficial to the separation effect of bubbles and water.
