Most people will know that (circulating) water in a system after a while becomes dirty (contaminated), which is more or less seen as inevitable. But, nothing could be further from the truth. Even with the best system water, unpleasant effects such as corrosion and the resulting corrosion particles in the system cannot be completely prevented.
If these corrosion particles and other dirt aren’t removed in an effective and continuous process from your system water, problems can occur such as:
Corrosion is just one of many consequences of
inadequate water conditioning
Independent research has shown that preventing air and dirt in your heating system can save you a lot of money. Using a SpiroVent RV2 air deaerator and a SpiroTrap MB3 dirt separator in your heating system can save you up to 13% on your gas consumption.
Often, a filter is used in the system to remove the dirt, but this isn’t always the best solution. Filters get jammed and need to be cleaned and replaced regularly which results in extra (labour) costs.
Especially nowadays with systems becoming smaller and smaller, just like the volume of water in the system. This means that dirt has a relatively high, negative impact on the performance of the system.
A good dirt separator ‘catches’ all dirt particles without blocking the flow through the system. With Spirotech solutions, even the smallest particles are captured during the operation, no bypass or valves are needed! Dirt is collected and can be drained easily.
Dirt separators are preferably positioned just before the systemwater enters the heating or cooling unit (return) in your system, capturing all of the dirt before it gets into the components.
