Air Vent

UKL Air vents are meant to automatically remove air from steam spaces. Air has to be removed because; Air acts as an insulator and severely hampers / restricts heat transfer. Air acts as an oxidizing agent and causes corrosion and weakening leading to damage and leakage in pipes and related equipment. In Boilers it can cause serious accidents.

Air tends to accumulate towards the top/highest point, around changes in elevation / direction of pipes and also near Dead ends. So it is necessary to have Air vents at these points to vent the accumulated air.

 Thermostatic Air vent removes the air automatically and closes when in contact with steam.

The Air vent assembly is provided with an Isolation valve, Air collecting Bottle and Temp/Pressure Gauge.
