FINDING THE RIGHT SEPARATOR
THE SOLUTION FROM ALTECNIC
The Caleffi 548 and 549 series hydraulic separators perform similarly to a low loss header, keeping the primary and secondary circuits connected hydraulically yet able to function independently from each other. They can be used on both hot and chilled water systems. The separators are supplied with an air vent assembly to permit automatic discharge of air in the circuits, along with a dirt separation element and drain valve for removing any impurities in the system. The hydraulic separators reduce flow velocity in the vessel, which allows for two secondary functions – air removal and dirt removal – in one device. Three-in-one hydraulic separators make air removal and dirt removal primary functions, along with hydraulic separation, with no added piping connections or installation costs. Magnetic dirt removal adds a fourth function and is especially effective for older system retrofits which can contain a high amount of magnetic iron and steel particles. These functions are available up to 50mm in our SEP4 549 series combination hydraulic separators.
The Caleffi flanged 5466 range is a powerful magnetic and dirt separation unit with the option to fit a high-capacity air vent, all within a compact and easily serviceable assembly. This flanged range complements existing devices up to 2” thread and allows Altecnic to offer flexible solutions across a wide range of installations. The Caleffi 548 and 549 series hydraulic separators bring a combination approach to any header situation with the ability to provide a four-port threaded or flanged device from 25mm up to 150mm, plus both a dirt and air removal function in addition to the new integral magnetic version up to 2” and all with a dedicated insulation shell. The three additional ranges of Caleffi separators are now available for immediate delivery from Altecnic’s UK HQ - the 548 hydraulic separator, the SEP4 combination 549 hydraulic separator and the 5466 Dirtmag - steel dirt (& air) separator. Each separator has an epoxy resin-coated steel body and is supplied complete with a bespoke insulation shell.

“When hydraulic separation between circuits is present, the designer can correctly think of each circuit as if it were a stand-alone entity and design it accordingly.”
