OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE

IN HVAC SYSTEMS

DOMESTIC | COMMERCIAL | INDUSTRY

Effective total solutions for

optimum uid quality and
maximum system efciency
The purpose of uids in heating and cooling systems is to transport heat
or cold to where it is needed. The optimum conditions for this are a clean
system with uid that contains as little air and dirt as possible. If air and
dirt are not, or are insufciently, removed, all sorts of hindrances and
problems will occur. These can include annoying noises, the necessity of
regular manual venting of the system, decreasing pump performance,
system imbalance, unnecessary malfunctions, excessive wear and extra
energy consumption.

Fluid as a system component

Because uid quality is an important factor for the efcient functioning of a system, the uid should
be considered a system component and treated as such. The uid must be carefully selected and
then properly maintained to prevent air and dirt becoming problems.

Spirotechs products all have a common aim: to improve the efciency
of systems and processes. Our products are used for a huge variety of
buildings and processes. From the smallest family home to the largest

SpiroVent Superior - vacuum degassers

The SpiroVent Superior is a fully automatic vacuum degasser for heating,
cooling and process systems. Because of the fully electronic control system,
the Superior offers numerous facilities for reading system information,
status and logged data.

When should a vacuum degasser be used?

1. For systems with many branches and a low ow velocity.
2. When there are slight temperature differences. A vacuum degasser is not dependent on
the uid temperature.
3. When an inline degasser cannot be mounted due to practical reasons. A vacuum degasser
can be connected to virtually any point within a system.

How the SpiroVent Superior works

A continuously operating pump constantly takes a quantity of system uid from the circulating
ow. Closing a solenoid valve creates a vacuum so that the dissolved gases are released.
These accumulate at the top of the vessel and are removed via the air vent. The degassed and
absorptive uid is then pumped back into the installation and can start absorbing gases again.

S10, for heating or cooling systems from

5 to 10 bar, 150 - 300 m3

There are various reasons why gas will always be able to enter a system, such as diffusion,

S16, for heating or cooling systems from

micro leaks and expansion system membranes which are never 100% gastight. Because of all this,

9 to 16 bar, 150 - 300 m3

vacuum degassing is a continuous requirement. It is therefore not a one-off process.

SpiroCross - hydraulic
deaerators and dirt separators
A good hydraulic balance ensures optimum operation of HVAC and process
systems with multiple groups and pumps. The removal of air and dirt is also
important. In the compact SpiroCross, hydraulic balance and air/dirt separation are combined. This means that only four instead of eight connections
are required. This does not only mean savings in purchase costs, but also in
assembly and maintenance costs.
SpiroCross was developed by Spirotech using Computational Fluid Dynamics and was also tested

SpiroPlus is a range of ushing agents and additives ideal for maintaining the quality of the
system uid and the system itself. The additives have been specially developed for use in heating
and cooling systems and come with a KIWA-ATA certicate.
The SpiroPlus range includes the following additives:

SPIROPLUS Cleaner - Dirt dissolver (ushing agent)

Dirt accumulates in every heating and cooling system, which can have annoying and costly consequences. Thorough ushing with
SpiroPlus Cleaner is the solution for accumulations of dirt in the system. Another solution is the placement of a SpiroTrap dirt
separator which will successfully clean out contaminations in an existing system.

SPIROPLUS Sealer - Leak sealer

Small leakages which let in air occur in every system. SpiroPlus Sealer seals and prevents these leakages occurring. The solution
is absorbed in the molecular spaces and forms a protective lm over the entire inside of the system.

SPIROPLUS LimeCleaner - Descaler (ushing agent)

Limescale accumulation in pipes and system components leads to poorer operation, less efciency and thus unnecessarily high
energy consumption. SpiroPlus LimeCleaner is an effective means of removing limescale.

Solar applications
Continuous deaeration also available
for solar systems
Extremely high temperatures can occur in solar systems, which leads to the formation of steam.
Valves are installed to prevent vapour release and overheating. Without valves, solar systems
can even boil dry. Because solar systems are typically secondary heating systems, they can
malfunction without the user being aware of it. Some systems are temporarily shut down, for
example during the winter months. The air in the system rises, so that when the system is turned
on again it should be deaerated at the highest point (of each individual panel, if necessary). For
practical reasons, this is often neglected . The unavoidable consequence is circulation problems
during system start-up which often turn out to be permanent.
