Altecnic Discal DN100 Dirt and Air Separator with Insulation 546102

The Altecnic Discal DN100 flanged PN16 dirt and air separator is a system component for removing suspended dirt particles and entrained air from heating and chilled water circuits. It sits in the pipework and separates solids and gases from the circulating water before they can reach heat emitters, pumps and heat exchangers. This version is DN100 with flanged connections, rated PN16, and is supplied with insulation.

• Persistent air noise, gurgling or repeated venting at high points despite the separator being in circuit
• Cold spots or uneven heat distribution across radiators and emitters that return after cleaning
• Sludge or black oxide deposits found in strainers, filters or at pump impellers downstream of the separator
• Reduced flow rate or increased pump head without any change to the system settings
• Visible corrosion, weeping or leakage at the separator body or flange joints

• Confirm the pipework is DN100 and that the mating flanges suit a PN16 flanged connection
• Check the system operating pressure does not exceed the PN16 rating of the unit
• Verify there is sufficient straight pipework and access space for the body and its insulation jacket
• Confirm the installation position suits the flow direction and service access required for the separator
