Air separators for solar heating
www.caleffi.com
Air separation dramatically increases the life of a solar heating system by continuously eliminating air, including microbubbles, from the primary circuits. Removing dissolved gases from a solar primary circuit is an essential process in a solar heating system, as these gases can rapidly cause corrosion in collectors and heat exchangers. Air separators remove corrosive gases mechanically in an efficient process. Caleffi.

A cable drum control system stops the drum when the blade becomes lodged in a blockage. Available Autofeed allows users to reverse the direction of the cable quickly and easily, is available as an accessory. CSA-approved. RIDGID.
