Function

The Calefﬁ HydroCal

™

combination hydraulic, air and dirt separator is

a device that combines high performance air and dirt removal with

hydraulic separation. Primary and secondary circuits connected to it

become hydraulically decoupled thus eliminating pump conﬂict.

A proven, time tested stainless steel internal coalescing element

continuously and automatically eliminates all entrained air, including

microbubbles, in the system. Air discharge capacity is very high. Over

time, dirt particles as tiny as 5 microns are captured and collected away

from the ﬂow stream.

The 3-in-1 high performance functionality of the HydroCal

™

saves

system installation and maintenance cost as there is no need to include

separate air and dirt separators. It can be used on either hot or chilled

watersystems.

HydroCal combination hydraulic, air and dirt separator ™ CALEFFI 549 and NA549 series 01178/14 NA ACCREDITED ISO 9001 No. 0003 ISO 9001 FM 21654 Replaces 01178/13 NA Function The Caleffi HydroCal™ combination hydraulic, air and dirt separator is a device that combines high performance air and dirt removal with hydraulic separation. Primary and secondary circuits connected to it become hydraulically decoupled thus eliminating pump conflict.
PAGE 2
Operating principle Hydraulic separation When a single system contains a primary production circuit, with its own pump, and a secondary user circuit, with one or more distribution pumps, operating conditions may arise in the system whereby the pumps interact, creating abnormal variations in circuit flow rates and pressures.
PAGE 3
Construction details A B Insulation The HydroCal™ is available complete with a hot preformed insulation shell. In the flanged series, sizes 2" to 4", the insulation is made of a shell in expanded polyurethane foam covered with an aluminium layer. This insulation ensures not only perfect heat insulation but also the tightness required to prevent atmospheric water vapors from entering the unit.
