2. Functional description

The sludge and air separator serves to separate sludge and air from the heater system.

It is equipped with a sludge and contamination reduction that functions according to the cyclone principle. This guarantees an effective separation of the particles.

The sludge and air separator is equipped with a quick bleeder for the air separation. If there is air in the system, it will rise to the highest point of the sludge and air separator. The water level drops there, the integrated floater pulls the floater arm down and thereby opens the sealed area. The air bleeds out whereby the water level rises again and the sealed area is closed again.

The optionally available phosphate cartridge counters the corrosion in the heater system. This dosing serves as an additional protection of the heater system; not as a replacement of the basic conditioning of the heater water by inhibitors.

7. Assembly

7.1 Installations Guidelines

• The sludge and air separator is not suited for: o the separation of oils greases, solvents, soaps and other lubricating media o the separation of water-solvent materials
• The sludge and air separator is installed in the heating circuit (feed and return line)
• The heating system needs to be rinsed and filled
• The national installation regulations, general guidelines and technical data must be observed during the assembly
• The installation site has to be frost-free and the protection of the device from chemicals, paints, solvents, vapours and environmental influences must be guaranteed
• A course dirt separator needs to be installed up front for water with course dirt particles
• To ensure the bleeding of the air, the sludge and air separator has to be installed with the quick bleeder upwards
• The separator has to stand vertically; the connection piece can be built into horizontal and vertical lines
• Make sure the seals fit properly. The pressuresealing tightening of the screws has to be done cross-wise
  Install stop valves ahead and following the sludge

and air separator

o This makes it possible to maintain the sludge and air separator easily without draining the heating system

• Mount the sludge and air separator at easily accessible points in the system

Before starting up, make sure that the ball valve of the device is closed.

7.2 Installation notes for the quick bleeder

• To prevent malfunctions of the quick bleeder by dirt particles that enter from the outside, the red valve cap should remain on the quick bleeder
• Leave the red valve cap open to just one rotation to the stop so that the air can bleed

o Thereby the quick bleeder will definitely not drip; dirt and floating particles cannot get into the bleeding mechanism

7.3 Installation into pipeline

Before installing the sludge and air separator, the pipelines need to be rinsed.

1. Unpack the device and inspect for completeness and any possible transport damages
2. Remove the insulation by loosening the securing clamps
3. Thoroughly flush pipework
4. Install rotatable connector piece o Note flow direction o Install without tension or bending stresses
5. Before starting up, make sure that the ball valve is closed

7.4 Installing the phosphate cartridge (available as an accessory)

In case aluminium materials are used in the heater system, the phosphate cartridge may not be installed.

1. Screw out the blind plug (SW27)
2. Screw the phosphate cartridge into the sludge and air separator in clockwise direction

o The phosphate cartridge consists of a brass coupler, a magnet, a filter basket and the phosphate filling

1. Screw the blind plug in with not too much force

If the phosphate cartridge should not be installed until after the startup, then proceed as described in chapter 10.3 Replace phosphate cartridge.

8. Commissioning

Before starting up, make sure that the ball valve is closed.

1. Increase the water pressure slowly to the operating pressure of the heater (max. 10 bar)
2. Slowly open the stop valve ahead of the sludge and air separator
3. Visually check the sludge and air separator if it leaks
4. Release the pressure in the sludge and air separator by opening the lower ball valve
5. Close the lower ball valve again
6. Slowly open the stop valve following the sludge and air separator
7. Mount the insulation

9. Inspection

The following inspections need to be made regularly by the operator to ensure the proper functioning of the device.

• Leak checks, visual inspections
• Check for soiling every month
• Check the quick bleeder every year

The control intervals are the minimum recommendation and ought to be appropriately shortened by the operator if the consumer system is sensitive.

10. Maintenance

• Maintenance, service and repair work may be carried out only by authorised technicians.

10.1 Rinse out sludge and air separator

Depending on the degree of soiling of the heater water, the sludge and air separator needs to be rinsed out regularly.

Danger of scalding from hot heater water!

1. Place a suitable, heat-resistant container underneath
2. Slowly open the lower ball valve
3. Close the lower ball valve again after about 4-6 litres have drained
4. Refill heater system if necessary

10.2 Clean quick bleeder

The quick bleeder can become leaky from washed-in or hoiked dirt particles.

Depending on the composition and the quality of the heater water, are periodic maintenance by a technician becomes necessary.

1. Put the heater system out of operation
2. Close the stop valves ahead and following the sludge and air separator
3. Place a suitable, heat-resistant container underneath
4. Release the pressure in the sludge and air separator by opening the lower ball valve
5. Unscrew and clean the quick bleeder
6. Reassemble in reverse order

10.3 Replace the phosphate cartridge (available as an accessory).

The filtering of the corrosion protection agents makes it necessary to replace the phosphate cartridge every year.

Danger of scalding from hot heater water!

Observe the material safety data sheet (included in the scope of delivery of the phosphate cartridge).

1. Put the heater system out of operation
2. Close the stop valves ahead and following the sludge and air separator
3. Place a suitable, heat-resistant container underneath
4. Release the pressure in the sludge and air separator by opening the lower ball valve
5. Unscrew the phosphate cartridge counter-clockwise using a spanner (SW 27)
6. Dispose of the phosphate cartridge (see chapter 11)
7. Screw in a new phosphate cartridge in clockwise direction into the sludge and air separator o Tighten not too tightly
8. Open the stop valve ahead of the sludge and air separator to rinse out any possible foreign particles through the lower ball valve
9. Close the lower ball valve again
10. Slowly open the stop valve following the sludge and air separator
    11.Put the heater system back into operation
    12.Refill heater system if necessary

10.4 Cleaning the magnetic separator

The integrated magnetic separator serves to reliably separate ferromagnetic metals in the heater system. The blind plug included in the scope of delivery contains the magnetic separator.

Due to corrosion reasons, the magnetic separator should be cleaned regularly.

1. Put the heater system out of operation
2. Close the stop valves ahead and following the sludge and air separator
3. Place a suitable, heat-resistant container underneath
4. Release the pressure in the sludge and air separator by opening the lower ball valve
5. Screw out the blind plug (SW27) o If the phosphate cartridge is installed, take off the filter basket
6. Clean the magnetic separator integrated in the blind plug from all collected particles

Do not use any chemical cleaners.

1. Screw the blind plug in with not too much force
2. Open the stop valve ahead of the sludge and air separator and rinse out the filter to clean out any foreign particles through the lower ball valve
3. Close the lower ball valve again
4. Slowly open the stop valve following the sludge and air separator
   11.Put the heater system back into operation
   12.Refill heater system if necessary
