 AIR IN HEATING AND COOLING SYSTEMS

The Problems Caused by Air

Air in heating and cooling systems causes the following problems:

• Noise in radiators, heat exchangers, pipes and pumps,
• Rapid wear and tear of heat exchangers, controllers, shut-off
valves and pumps,
• lnsufficient heat emission or cooling efficiency, reduced heat
transfer,
• lncreased energy consumption,
• Needing to deaerate by hand,
• Higher maintenance costs,
• Corrosion

Occurring and Source of Air in System

• Air is present before filling the system and trapped in the system when filled.
• Air is entrained in mains water when filling the system.
• Air dissolved in water is released when the temperature rises or the pressure falls during
system runs. (Graphic 1)

 Air in Heating System
The amount of air dissolved in water depends on both temperature and pressure. Air dissolved
in water is released when the temperature rises or the pressure falls. (Graphic1) The release of
microbubbles takes place continuously in the boiler and in any device operating under cavitation
conditions. When high temperatures occur at the combustion chamber wall of the boiler, small air
bubbles are released from the air containing water. (Figure 1) Microbubbles should be removed as
soon as they leave the boiler.

Air in Cooling System

Pressure has the greatest effect on the formation of air
bubbles in a cooling system.

As the temperature of the water in the coil decreases, some

of the air bubbles will dissolve in the water. To prevent air
bubbles from causing pump damage due to cavitation, air
bubbles should be vented upstream of the pump.

 DIRT IN HEATING AND COOLING SYSTEMS

The Problems Caused by Dirt

Dirt in heating and cooling systems causes the following problems:

• Increased system noise,
• Heat exchangers, boilers, and radiators can become clogged. This restricts the flow of water
and reduces heat transfer.
• Clogging of strainers, resulting in increased pressure drop and hence additional pump costs
or loss of capacity,
• The seals on the pump will be exposed to the abrasive effect of the particles in the water and
will wear out more quickly.
• Low-velocity pipework (such as underfloor heating) can accumulate debris. This reduces the
heat transfer surface,
• Higher maintenance costs,
• The build-up of sludge and dirt in a system will have a detrimental effect on the efficiency of
the system,

Accumulation and Source of Dirt in the System

• Dirt enters the system during production (e.g. sand, pipe cuttings and welding slag).
• Once in operation, there will also be an accumulation of scale and particles from corrosion -
the dissolved oxygen is the cause of corrosion.

The reaction between iron, water and oxygen will forms magnetite, and if oxygen is then present,
the magnetite is converted to haematite.

 VIRADEG VACUUM DEGASSER

Desciription

Vacuum degassing is the process of removing dissolved gas from a liquid solution by reducing the pressure
inside a vessel containing the solution. The reduced pressure in the vessel causes the gas to become less
soluble and separate from the liquefied material. When vacuum degassing is complete, the gas is removed
from the vessel and the pressure returns to normal.

ViraDeg vacuum degassers are installed in a bypass in the main flow of heating and cooling systems.
Part of the system fluid is temporarily placed under vacuum. Gases dissolved in the fluid are released,
separated and removed from the system. When the degassed fluid is reintroduced into the system, it can
absorb further free air pockets from the circuit. Air-free installation ensures optimum system performance
and also significantly reduces commissioning times. As well as optimising system efficiency, all standard
ViraDeg models save additional energy thanks to the integrated SmartSwitch. This device ensures that the
deaerator only operates when necessary.

Functional Description

The main purpose of the vacuum deaerator is to release the dissolved gases circulating in Closed-loop
heating and cooling systems and to REMOVE them from the system.

ViraDeg vacuum degasser is connected to the system as a by-pass and after pressurising the water
it has taken from the system, it applies a vacuum, to release the dissolved gasses in the water. The
released gases are vented via air vents. Vacuum degassing is the technique of removing dissolved gas
from a liquid solution by reducing the pressure in a vessel containing the solution.

 V-FORCE MAGNETIC FILTER

Dirt / Sediment Separator

V-FORCE magnetic separators are designed to be the most effective way of separating magnetic
particles circulating in heating and cooling systems. Thanks to the powerful magnets inside, the
magnetic particles circulating with the water are captured by the magnetic field created in the
V-FORCE and will be prevented from circulating in the system.

 VIRATOP / VIRASOLAR

Description

The ViraTop reliably discharges air and other gases from the system. The purging of free gas bubbles
is necessary to enable the heat transfer medium to circulate in liquid-filled system circuits. This
purging can either be done manually or, better still, automatically operated devices. In the case of
the automatic variant, a key requirement for the relevant fitting is sustained reliability and, above all,
freedom from leaks. The ViraTop has been developed with this in mind.

It automatically purges air and other gases from the system into the surrounding atmosphere. This
enables problem-free filling and draining operations when filling or refilling heating, solar or cooling
systems, for example. The ViraTop discharges the air that has collected at high points or specifically
designated collection points quickly and reliably into the atmosphere.

ViraTop SS ViraTop ST

Technical data for the ViraTop

• Housing made of brass

• For vertical installation
• With system connection Rp ½ and a connecting thread G ½ at the vent valve
• Application limits: 110 or 160 °C and 10 bar overpressure

Fields of application

• Venting during billing operations after draining or new construction

• In-service venting of things, high points, and air collection points
• Automatic pressurization during draining operations
• High venting capacity
• Solid brass design
• Designed for simple pressurization and venting of the system with consistently high reliability
• Reliable operation, even if the medium is dirty
• Range of products for different temperatures and applications

13
www.viraisi.com
 Functional description

The air collection chamber of the ViraTop contains a float-controlled vent valve. If the freely suspended
float loses buoyancy due to the air that has accumulated in the collection chamber, it sinks and in the
process opens the vent valve. The oat has enough space to move freely even if there are dirt deposits
in the air collection chamber. The special design of the vent valve ensures smooth operation even
under difficult conditions.

 VIRAVENT
Description

The Viravent is a high-efficiency in-line air separator suitable for use on heating and chilled systems. In
sealed heating systems free and dissolved air causes a number of problems. Micro-bubbles form on the
pump suction as a direct result of localized pressure drop. This directly affects the liquid displacement of
rotary pumps, reducing the ow capacity and therefore the efficiency of the system. The presence of micro-
bubbles and dissolved gas can reduce the liquid displacement of a pump by 10 to 45%. Heat will also allow
dissolved gasses to be drawn out of the solution, following Henry’s law, placement of this equipment is
important to guarantee effective operation. Effective removal of free air is essential for increasing the
operational life of the system as a whole.

 Where to Install for better performance?

The Viravent, air must be installed at the hottest point in the

system. For a heating installation, this is in the flow from the boiler.
Microbubbles are released at the hottest spot in an installation.
This release of gas is determined by the solubility of gases in water.
The solubility reduces with an increase in temperature. In case of
a decrease in pressure, Henry’s law implies further solubility. In
simple terms, the air is released from the water as the temperature
increases or the pressure decreases.

Installations
Viravent units must be installed at the hottest part of the system for optimum performance. The static
head must not exceed 15m far heating system and 5m far cooling system.
The efficiency of the unit will be reduced if;

• The static head is exceeded.

• The maximum flow velocity of 3m/s is exceeded.

In heating systems the deaerator should be in the flow, preferably at the highest temperature (next
to the heat source) and low pressure if possible. Viravent, Deaerator should be installed after the
boiler and on the pump suction side, as these are the points where the formation of microbubbles is
greatest. In chilled water systems, the unit must be located in the return close to the chiller.

 VIRACLEAN
Description

The life and the efficiency of a heating or cooling system are greatly dependent on clean system water.
Dirt can cause many problems such as increased component wear and frequent break-downs. Corrosion,
pump wear, and reduced efficiency result in increased maintenance, unnecessarily high costs, and
dissatisfied customers. Traditionally strainers or filters are fitted to overcome dirt problems. However,
these require frequent maintenance and if not cleaned on a regular basis cause increased pressure
drops and eventually blockages.

 Benefits

• Very small particles, from 5 μm (= 0.005 mm) and up are separated and removed.
• Dirt can be drained while the system is in operation.
• No shut-off valves or bypass required.
• Constant low-pressure drop.
• Maintenance only takes a few seconds and is not a dirty job.

• No unnecessary shutdown.
• Connection diameters from ¾” to DN 600 and above.
• A complete range, suitable for various pressures and temperatures.

Installations
Dirt Separators should always be installed before equipment (ie. boilers, chillers, control valves,
pumps, etc.) That needs protection from dirt, sludge, etc. In heating systems, this should be in
return. In chilled water systems, the unit must be located in the return close to the chiller.

The Solution...

A system totally without dirt is possible.

There is a unique device that will remove all dirt down to the smallest particle. It works continuously
and is maintenance-free.

In heating and air conditioning control systems, the circulation of water containing impurities may
result in rapid wear and damage to components such as pumps and control valves. It also causes
blockages in heat exchangers, heating elements, and pipes, resulting in lower thermal efficiency
within the system.

The dirt separator removes these dirt particles, collecting them in a large collection chamber from
which they can be flushed even while the system is in operation. This device is capable of efficiently
removing even the smallest particles, with very low head loss.

The ViraClean® magnetic dirt separator removes both ferrous and non-ferrous impurities
continuously, featuring powerful removable magnets that remove up to 100% of the ferrous
impurities, including magnetite, that can form in a hydronic system.

 Where do air and dirt come from?

Air particles and gases are always present in the water of heating
and cooling systems. They are generally a consequence of activities
performed (maintenance, draining and filling, etc.), micro-leaks,
diffusion, and chemical processes in the water. Dirt is caused by
corrosion processes, maintenance of the system, or failing system
parts. It can build up and cause blockages. The use of filters is not
ideal as they do not do not trap smaller particles, silt up, cause high
flow resistance, require regular maintenance, and replacement of
components.

Installations

Viraplus is a combination of a deaerator and dirt separator that effectively removes circulating air and
micro bubbles and dirt. In heating systems, the Viraplus should be in the flow and installed after the
boiler. In chilled water systems, the unit must be located in the return pipe close to the chiller.

Bo�ler

Air and Dirt-free System Water Through a Single Unit

ViraPlus combined dirt and air separators can be used in place of individual deaerators and dirt
separators. These combined units are highly efficient and extremely cost-effective and are becoming
the preferred standard option throughout the industry. In heating systems, the units should be
installed in the ow loop, situated immediately after the boiler and before the pump. In a chilled water
system, the unit must be located in the return loop close to the chiller.

Solution

A system completely free of air and dirt is possible. There is a unique device whose combined action
will removes all gases including dissolved air and dirt down to the smallest particle keeping the system
free from air and dirt, permanently. It is maintenance-free as it works without strainers or filters. Less
maintenance fewer costs.

Installations
Installation of a hydraulic separator in a heating system provides proper mixing when the flow in the
boiler circuit is different from the flow in the distribution circuit. Also, Virafix is a combination of a
deaerator, dirt separator, and hydraulic separator which removes circulating air and micro bubbles
also dirt effectively.

How Do Hydraulic Separators Work?

A hydraulic separator balances the differences in volumetric flow between a primary circuit (supply=Qp)
and a secondary circuit (demand = Qs). Three operating situations can occur if a hydraulic separator is
installed in a system and these are shown below and to the right.

 VIRABALANCE

Description

VIRABALANCE Hydraulic Balance Tanks are compact economical units that allow fast and efficient
installation of primary/secondary piping for many different boiler systems. When more than one boiler
is used at the primary loop, more than one pump will run and create abnormal variations in circuit flow
rates and pressures. A hydraulic balance Tank is installed between the primary and secondary loops and
eliminates the need for an additional pump to circulate fluid through the primary loop. Thereby boilers
and the heating circuits can have the proper flow rate independently.

Benefits

• It is ergonomic.
• It is convenient for use in different climate conditions.
• It is convenient for operating in parallel with the solar energy systems and heater boilers.
• It produces hot water at high capacities in narrow volumes.
• It can be used as natural circulation or with a circulation pump.

35
www.viraisi.com
 Sizing

The size of the dosing pot installed in a system is not critical as multiple doses of chemicals can be
put into the system to reach the correct concentration. The benefits of using a smaller unit are that
it is easier to physically handle and also allows for more accurate dosing. However, the time on site
for performing multiple doses has to be considered; this factor should influence your decision when
selecting dosing pots.

Note : Chilled water systems often require large volumes of glycol to be dosed into the system; a larger
dosing pot may be required for chilled water systems.

The formula below can be used as a guide to help you in your selection:

Boiler Power (kW) x 12 Litres/kW x 0.01 (based on 1% concentration*) = Volume

of chemical required

Example: Boiler Power 250kW x 12kW x 0.01 = 30 litres of chemical

You could may of the following dosing pots for this installation

 VIRAEXPAN

Description

Expansion vessels, also known as expansion tanks, can be found in most domestic pressurized heating
systems. If you have a combi boiler, you will have an expansion vessel. This vessel contains air and water
from the central heating system, and its purpose is to maintain the right level of pressure in the system.

There are various expansion tank designs, but the most common among modern boiler designs is the
bladder-type system. This design consists of a cylinder or disc which is split into two parts by a thin
rubber sheet known as a ‘diaphragm’. One side is filled with water from the central heating system,
while the other is filled with nitrogen. An expansion vessel also has an air valve that allows for the
system to be depressurized and repressurized over time.

Where to install the expansion vessel?

It is likely that your expansion vessel is located

inside the boiler casing. However, make sure
to refer to your boiler manual to double-check
this. If you are having trouble identifying the
vessel or need advice on finding a replacement,
speak to a qualified heating engineer.

What causes an expansion vessel to fail?

An expansion vessel can fail due to rust and

subsequent water leakage, although this is unlikely
in most modern sealed water heating systems. It
is more common for the diaphragm to become
thinner and perforate over time, causing the whole
system to fail. The filling valve can also leak air and
cause pressure failure if left unchecked.

Hot Water Boiler

Boilers, which are full of copper tubes, are complex heating appliances that turn water into steam.
They heat water rapidly for two different uses: hot water and home heating and are typically powered
by electricity or natural gas. A boiler system heats water to the point that it boils, and the steam is
used to transport heat throughout your house. Water is usually heated to approximately 125 degrees.
It’s kept at a consistent temperature until it’s needed — aka when someone in your home takes a
shower, washes the dishes, or does laundry. Water is pulled from the top of the tank and pushed
through your pipes. Cold water then fills the bottom of your water heater to be heated. The key take
away here is that a water heater stores water until it is needed in a certain area of the house, while a
boiler does not store water – it simply heats water as the water passes through the tubes.

 MULTIZONE MANIFOLDS

Description

Compact manifolds are used in heating systems to allow different heat settings in the various rooms
when there is only one heat generator.

The various configurations are compact and can be easily fitted in any kind of hydraulic circuit, with
the advantages of ease of installation and saving of useful living space. The manifolds have pre-
formed shell insulation to guarantee perfect thermal insulation.

The ViraFix is a complete unit which is installed between the boiler and the manifold. This contains an
air separator and a dirt trap with a magnetite separator (to protect the heat emitter and circulation
pumps) and can be delivered either with or without a hydraulic diverter.

The connections are designed to fit the manifold, ensuring easy installation.

 VIRACOLL
Description

Heating manifold with hydronic junction

The ViraColl, consisting of a heating manifold with an integrated hydronic junction, incorporates
many positive characteristics in one component. On the one hand, the integrated hydraulic separator
ensures optimum hydraulic separation of the boiler circuit from the consumer circuits, on the other
hand, the heating manifold horizontally positioned above enables space-saving arrangement of the
heating circuits.

In the domestic services field, specially designed for use in one-boiler systems, the small ViraColl
offers the optimum solution for combined and space-saving heating circuit manifolds. In a system
with two or more heating circuits, neither an increased amount of installation work nor additional
space is required. If the condensing unit is equipped with a hydraulic separator control with primary
volume flow rate adjustment, the return flow boost is avoided. The flow temperature of the system
is registered in the ViraColl and compared with the flow temperature of the boiler. Thus, the volume
flow rate ratios in the hydraulic separator can be concluded therefrom, enabling a reaction by
changing the speed of the internal pump.

The advantages particularly apply to the ViraColl in large-sized design. Savings in installation
time, hydraulic separation and minimized space required have a particularly positive effect on the
construction costs and on the efficiency of the system. There are several reasons in favour of the
combination of heating manifold and low-loss header.

 SIZING

This selection can be used for heating and cooling systems.

For optimum results, a flow velocity should be less than 1,5 m/s. Above 1,5 m/s flow velocities will affect

A) If the installation place is low pressure and high temperature, the velocity should be 1,5 m/s.
1. From the ‘Flow‘ axis at 70 m³/h at point A, move vertically to the 1,5 m/s water velocity curve at point B.
2. Move left from point B to meet the “Smartvent Dimension“ axis at point D.
3. Always choose the dimension that is the nearest above the endpoint on the axis, for this example
choose DN125.

B) If the installation place is high pressure and high temperature, the velocity should be 1,5 m/s.
1. From the ‘Flow‘ axis at 70 m³/h at point A, move vertically to the 1 m/s water velocity curve at point C.
2. Move left from point C to meet the “Smartvent Dimension“ axis at point E.
3. Always choose the dimension that is the nearest to the endpoint on the axis, for this example choose
DN150.
