AV813 Air Eliminator
The AV813 Air Eliminator is used for the removal of air and other gases from vessels or piping systems without allowing the contained liquid to escape.
*AV813-V has Viton Plug
Features
• Rugged cast iron housing
• Simple design for easy maintenance
• Stainless steel internals
• Optional Viton Valve Head for high temperatures and tight shut-off
How It Works
The valve and seat assembly inside the air eliminator is connected to a stainless steel float. When there is no liquid in the body of the air eliminator, the float will be in the down position, allowing air or other gases in the vessel or piping system to escape. When liquid enters the body, it will lift the float and the valve will be closed off before any liquid can escape.
Installation and Maintenance
The AV813 should be located at a high point in the system or vessel. The unit must be installed level and upright with flow upward for the float mechanism to operate properly. Isolation valves should be installed for ease of maintenance.
