EA122
Function
Inside the automatic air vent there is a float which operates a
lever according to the water level. When there is no water in
the housing, then the float opens the valve. Air can therefore
be vented from the heating system during filling. When the
heating system has been filled, the inflowing water closes the
valve and the vent is shut off. Water usually contains oxygen
which bubbles off during operation of the system and collects
at the highest point. The automatic air vent must therefore be
fitted at the air collection position (highest point on a boiler or
pipework circuit). The closing force of the float valve is very
small and therefore water-borne dirt can prevent the valve
fully closing which results in the valve dripping slightly. Expanding discs are built into the valve to prevent this dripping
occurring. These discs expand when wet and then shut off a
secondary valve, thereby preventing leakage.
