The air eliminator will definitely help, but you will still need to bleed the system.
There is no problem with using Air Eliminators in closed systems.
The expansion tank is for the expansion of the hot liquid not air. The air separator will not effect the operation of the ex-tank. the tank helps control the system pressure. But then what do I know I'm just an electrician. Anybody else agree with me???
It does not, unless any problems arise. If you are having issues, please refer to page 2 of the Installation Guide for maintenance instructions: http://s3.pexsupply.com/manuals/1298567552219/48486_PROD_FILE.pdf
This should not create any problems, other than a little bouncing before everything settles down after a quick fill. The product is normally used in this manner.
We suggest that you leave your existing valves in place and add this unit to your main piping in the mechanical room.
Yes, it does have an NPT tap on the bottom for an expansion tank.
Yes, this product will help eliminate air from the system. If this is an open loop system though, there will constantly be air in the system in which case you would have to purge the manifold lines every year regardless.
Nate, I used my 3/4" on a copper baseboard hydronic heating system and it removed all the air and each heating season there is nothing for me to do except enjoy the warmth. Great product. You contact Spirotherm directly and they get back quickly. -StanS
Leaking on the threads of this air eliminator would be a sign of a poor connection.
