Liquid water can also block control lines, which prevents instruments from reading and actuating properly.

Where should an air separator be located?

The best place to locate an air separator in a hydronic system is where the water temperature is high and the pressure is low . The solubility of the dissolved gases in the water is lowest at these conditions. For a heating system, the ideal location is at the outlet of the heat source.

What is a compressed air regulator?
