Dimensions
Flow capacity
The fl uid velocity at connections for DISCALDIRT 546 series air and dirt
separators is recommended to not exceed 10.0 f/s. Above this speed,
heavy internal turbulence and noise can occur and air and dirt elimination
effi ciency begins to fall measurably. Optimal air and dirt elimination
performance occurs at fl uid velocities of 4.0 f/s or less. See the fl ow
capacity chart.
We reserve the right to change our products and their relevant technical data, contained in this publication, at any time and without prior notice. Contractors should request production drawings if prefabricating the system.

Application
Air separators are used to continuously remove the air contained in the hydronic
circuits of heating and cooling systems. The air discharge capacity of these
devices is high. They are capable of automatically removing all the air present
in the system, down to the micro-bubble level. The circulation of fully de-
aerated water enables the equipment to operate under optimum conditions,
free from any noise, corrosion, localized overheating and mechancial damage.
