SEPARATION SYSTEM

moved around the plumbing every time the system switches on and eventually reaches the boiler. A simple analogy for those advocating a new boiler would be to look at what would happen if a consumer replaced their old car with an expensive new one because of performance issues but took the old model’s oil and put it into the brand-new sump. Initial efficiencies would certainly be noted but it would not be long before the dirt that had affected the previous car began to take its toll on the performance of the new model. We’ve established that replacing a boiler on its own would be counter-productive and changing an entire heating system financially prohibitive – so what is the answer? How do we retain an existing system but remove the damaging dirt that has accumulated? And how do we stop that dirt from eventually
coming back through corrosion and so on and the problems returning? DIRT FILTER The answer is to filter out the dirt – that means all air, dirt and magnetic particles – and dispose of it. With a filter like Altecnic’s Dirtmag Mini™ separation system, which uses a powerful internal magnet, it is possible to isolate magnetic particles as small as 0.05 microns. Non-magnetic particles are collected via a separate self- cleaning mesh unit. To remove air from the system the Discal Slim® de-aerator is designed for continuous venting of the air that forms in air conditioning system hydraulic circuits, down to the level of micro-bubbles (gradual and continuous degassing). The de-aerator may be installed on either a vertical or horizontal pipe. The circulation of fully de- aerated water enables equipment
to operate under optimum conditions, free from any noise, corrosion, localised overheating or mechanical damage, important for reducing energy demands and ongoing running costs. These actions could offer substantial protection to the type of valve used in modern systems and extend the working life of any heating system by de-clogging destructive dirt. So boosting energy efficiency in homes and businesses does not have to incur heavy costs for the end-user through replacing entire heating systems, including their boiler. There is another way, a much more cost-effective and straightforward way, which involves minimal disruption. The Dirtmag Mini and Discal Slim are available in a convenient combination pack, offering a complete dirt and air removal solution in one box – product code 114-1100.
