Bell & Gossett Sediment Separators

Bell & Gossett Sediment Removal Separators (SRS) are centrifugal-style air and sediment separators for use in any HVAC system. Its 3-to-1 body diameter to nozzle diameter ratio slows fluid velocity, allowing entrained air and suspended sediment to come out of the solution. In contrast, its tangential inlet and outlet nozzles induce centrifugal fluid flow. This centrifugal flow creates a low-pressure vortex in the center of the tank, where entrained air can come out of the solution and float to the top of the tank, and suspended sediment can sink to the bottom. In addition, the SRS features an extended collection cap at the bottom of the tank where sediment can collect without the risk of being pulled back into the system by the exiting fluid. These impurities can be easily removed via an air vent or connection to an expansion tank and a blowdown valve.

Contaminants such as air and suspended sediment can lead to diminished heat transfer, higher energy costs, damage to your system components, and increased system noise. By removing them, you can lower the cost of operating your system, extend the life of your components, and provide better comfort to your building occupants.

SRS Sediment Separator Features:

• Removes entrained air and suspended sediment
• Centrifugal flow pattern creates a low-pressure vortex in the center of the tank and lowers pressure drop through the tank
• Models from 3"-36"
• Carbon steel body
• NPT (3" only), flange, or groove connections are available
• Extended collection cap on the bottom of the tank
• Designed, constructed, inspected, and stamped per Section VIII, Division 1 of the ASME Code
• Standard models rated for 125 psi (862 kPa) working pressure
