Fuel oil de-aerators
June 2011
News
Afriso offers a complete family of automatic fuel oil de-aerators for continuous de-aeration in single line, oil fired systems.
They are available with one or two float chambers, integrated shut-off valve, pressure gauge and a choice of oil filters and sieves which allow for maximum filtering of particles, even at minimum oil flow rates.
Automatic de-aeration eliminates malfunctions and prevents leaks in the return pipe from going unnoticed. The safety float chamber prevents oil from escaping. The stop valve can be closed to check the suction capacity of the burner pump. The pressure gauge indicates the degree of filter pollution and static pre-pressure.
The TÜV tested de-aerators are designed for nozzle capacities of up to 100 l/h and return flow rates of up to 120 l/h and are suitable for oil temperatures and ambient temperatures of up to 60°C. They are connected to the tank by means of a G 3/8 female thread and to the burner by a G 3/8 male thread and have a cone for connection of the burner hoses. Installation with the de-aeration hose meets Proofed Barrier quality requirements, ensuring that the system is fully odour proof.
The automatic fuel oil de-aerators are suitable for fuel oil EL (DIN 51603-1), diesel (EN 590), biofuel (EN 14213) and biodiesel (EN 14214) containing up to 20% FAME. Versions with a metal de-aerator hood can also be used with biofuel and biodiesel containing up to 100% FAME.
