he air formation process he amount of air which can remain dissolved in a water solution depends on the pressure and temperature. his relationship is known as Henry s law; the graph below allows us to quantify the physical phenomenon of releasing the air contained in the medium. or example: at a constant absolute pressure of bar, if the water is heated from to 80, the amount of air released by the solution is equal to 8 l per m 3 of water. ccording to this law, it may be noted how the amount of air released by the solution increases as the temperature rises and the pressure decreases. his air is in the form of micro-bubbles with diameters in the order of tenths of a millimetre. In circuits of air-conditioning systems there are specific points where this micro-bubble formation process takes place continuously: inside boilers and devices which operate under conditions of cavitation. Graph of solubility of air in water avitation micro-bubbles Micro-bubbles develop where the speed of the medium is particularly high, with a corresponding reduction in pressure. hese points are usually the pump impellers and the water orifices of the regulating valves. hese microbubbles of air and steam, the formation of which is accentuated in non-deaerated water, may subsequently implode as a result of the cavitation effect.

It is designed in such a way that the direction in which the medium is flowing inside it makes no difference. Water temperature ( ) oiler micro-bubbles Micro-bubbles form continuously on the surfaces separating the water from the combustion chamber due to the high temperature of the medium. his air, carried by the water, collects at critical points of the circuit, from which it must be removed. Some of it is reabsorbed where it meets colder surfaces. lame temperature 000 ombustion chamber wall LM Wall temperature 60 oundary layer WR Micro-bubbles oundary layer temperature 56 verage water temperature 70
- When cleaning, simply unscrew the portion of the body containing the automatic air vent valve (4). On threaded models without drain and in the 7 series with adjustable -fitting, this part is 4 not removable (5). 4 langed and weld-end deaerators are equipped with a cock () which performs the dual function of releasing large amounts of air while the system is being filled and eliminating any impurities floating on top of the water. he lower part is fitted with a plug () which can be connected to a drain valve, for the elimination of any impurities which have collected at the bottom of the deaerator. 5 onstruction details he automatic air vent valve, located at the top of the device, is equipped with a long chamber for float movement. his feature prevents any impurities in the water from reaching the seal seat. he special construction of the ISL deaerator allows maintenance and cleaning procedures to be performed without removing the device from the system. Note in particular: - ccess to the moving parts controlling the air vent is attained by simply removing the top cover (3). 3 ir separation efficiency ISL devices are capable of continuously removing the air contained within a hydraulic circuit, with a high degree of separation efficiency. he amount of air that can be removed from a circuit depends on different parameters: it increases as the circulation speed and the pressure decrease. s illustrated on the graph below, after just 5 recirculations at the maximum recommended speed, almost all the air artificially released into the circuit (blue curve on the graph) is eliminated by the deaerator, with percentages which vary on the basis of the pressure within the circuit. he small amount which remains is then gradually eliminated during normal system operation. In conditions where the speed is slower or the temperature of the medium is higher, the amount of air separated is even greater. ir introduced - ir removed - (%) 00 90 80 bar bar 3bar 70 60 3 50 40 30 0 0 0 00 0 0 5 5 No. of recirc. 300 400 500 600 700 800 900 000 00 0 ime (s) V = m/s - = constant
Insulation langed (N 50 N 50) and weld-end ISL devices are supplied complete with hot pre-formed shell insulation. he threaded models codes 005-6-7-8-9 can be equipped with hot pre-formed shell insulation as an option. his system ensures not only perfect thermal insulation, but also the tightness required to prevent water vapour entering the device from the ambient. or this reason, this type of insulation may also be used in chilled water circuits as it prevents condensation from forming on the surface of the valve body.

Installation ISL devices may be used in both heating and cooling circuits, to guarantee progressive elimination of the air which forms continuously. hey should preferably be installed after the boiler, on the pump suction side, as this is where the formation of micro-bubbles is most prolific. he ISL deaerator must be installed vertically and preferably upstream from the pump where, due to the high speed of the medium and the ensuing drop in pressure, micro-bubbles of air develop more easily. In ISL devices, the thermal medium can flow in either direction, except on the 7 series adjustable version, for which the correct direction of flow is shown by the arrow on the -fitting. In the 7 series, turn the -fitting by hand to adapt the connections for use with horizontal or vertical pipes. It is recommended that the air vent valve cap is replaced with a aleffi 56 series hygroscopic safety cap if the device is installed in a location that cannot be inspected.
