Product solutions in separation technology

Separation technology

Air and dirt separation technologies reliably remove gas bubbles, dirt and sludge particles from the system, thereby significantly improving water quality. The result: greater operational reliability, a longer service life, reduced maintenance requirements and improved energy transfer.

What are separation and degassing systems?

Gas inclusions in heating and chilled water systems can impair system operation, potentially leading to the failure of system components and entire systems. They reduce the efficiency of energy transfer and create corrosion risks. Corrosion promotes the formation of dirt and sludge in heating and cooling circuits, which can in turn lead to further impairments of the overall system. Every technology that enables degassing/separation has a characteristic efficiency in terms of degassing and separation performance. Vacuum spray-tube degassing with Reflex Servitec is a powerful solution in this regard. Combined with dirt and sludge separators, it creates an effective synergy for the reliable operation of water-based systems.

Air and sludge separators

  • Durable reliable functionality
  • Venting and separation of magnetite, microbubbles, dirt or sludge
  • Specially developed ventilators and microbubble separators available for use in solar systems

Reliable energy transfer and corrosion protection

Air and dirt separation technologies remove gases, dirt and sludge particles from water-based systems, reduce the risk of operational disruptions and mitigate the risk of corrosion.

As far as the free gases in the system are concerned, a distinction is made between large, visible gas bubbles which can be vented and small, barely visible gas bubbles which are part of the flow in the medium. These occur as microbubbles and must at least be separated off.

In addition to corrosion, impurities due to age or poorly cleaned pipelines and limescale deposits can lead to a build-up of dirt and sludge in the system. This inevitably has a detrimental effect on the smooth operation of the system.

Separation technology

Reflex venting and separation technologies reliably extract gas bubbles, dirt and sludge particles from the system, thus significantly improving water quality.

Degassing systems

  • Easy installation and commissioning
  • Powerful, central degassing of content and make-up water
  • Patented valve switching for fully automated hydraulic balancing

Reliable protection against gas problems in small and large systems

Gases are a significant source of disruption in heating and cooling systems. As a component of the water, they impede flow, create corrosion risks and reduce heat output to the room. Comprehensive degassing is recommended to reduce these effects.

With vacuum spray-tube degassing, only a partial flow of the system water is continuously removed, degassed under vacuum and returned to the system with almost no gas content. The undersaturated water can then absorb new gases in the system and thus contributes to reducing the gas concentration throughout the system network. As a result, improved conditioning of the system water is achieved, hydraulic balancing is supported, and the system can operate reliably and efficiently.

The principle can be used flexibly in many areas, from technically demanding apartment buildings and district heating networks to individual solutions in large industrial plants. Reflex offers a broad portfolio of solutions for this purpose and has also developed Servitec Mini, a technology for residential applications in systems up to 100 kW.
