John Wood Company Tangential air separators remove entrapped air can cause many problems in a piping system, including loss of efficiency, pipe corrosion, pump damage, increased energy consumption and irritating noises. Tangential air separators are designed to enhance the air separation efficiency.
Separators range from 50 GPM to 30,000 GPM and up to 150 PSIG -available is ASME code and non-ASME code.
Designed and built in accordance with the ASME Code Section VIII, Division I
Installation: vertical
Shell: Carbon Steel with exterior gray primer finish
System connections: MNPT for 2″ and 2½” sizes (JASR-19-401 and 402); flanged for 3″ and larger
These air separators can be supported in the piping system if the piping system hangers are located under the inlet and outlet nozzles as close as possible to the outside diameter of the shell of the unit.
Optional factory welded support brackets on the shell are optionally available. They are required for the 6″ and larger sizes for seismic designs.
Lifting lugs are not designed to support the vessel in the piping system.
