Air Eliminators
/ Specifications

Air Eliminators

Size

  • Specific size range not mentioned
  • Tank and vessel size can be customized based on system requirements and product viscosity

Connections

  • Installed on the upstream inlet side of the meter and discharge side of the pump
  • Discharge lines can be vented to the meter outlet, back to storage, sump, condensation drum, or tank
  • Compatible with pipeline connection standards

Power Ratings

  • Not electrically powered; performance depends on flow velocity and pressure differential
  • Discharge rate is regulated by back pressure; back pressure valves may be required for optimal function

Body Materials

  • Not specifically listed, but typically available in carbon steel, stainless steel, or other compatible alloys depending on product compatibility and pressure requirements
  • Large tanks may be required for products with high surface tension (e.g., diesel, fuel oil, kerosene, LPG)

Applications

  • Installed in fuel systems, petroleum pipelines, LPG lines, and other liquid transfer systems
  • Ideal for positive displacement and turbine meter protection
  • Used in low to high viscosity products including gasoline, diesel, kerosene, fuel oil, and heavy oils
  • Essential in systems with pressurized liquid flow where accurate volumetric metering is critical
  • Suitable for use where entrained air or vapor could compromise measurement accuracy or cause equipment wear

Filter / Mesh Options

  • Does not contain traditional filter or mesh
  • Uses float-operated valve mechanisms to detect and discharge collected air and vapor
  • Internal geometry designed to slow velocity and promote air/vapor separation

Advantages

  • Improves meter accuracy by removing air/vapor before the measuring unit
  • Prevents over speeding and wear of metering equipment
  • Eliminates free and entrained air through controlled separation and discharge
  • Automatically adjusts using float-actuated valve mechanisms
  • Customizable tank size to handle different product viscosities and foaming tendencies
  • Enhances system efficiency and safety, especially when handling hazardous or foaming petroleum products
