The combination Line Strainer cum Air Eliminator

ensures removal of solid impurities, air or vapour from

the liquid before they enter the bulk meter. It is essential
accessory for a trouble free and accurate bulk meter
operation.
DESIGN FEATURES
Low pressure drop due to large filter element area
Compact dimensions for minimum installation
space
Quick release lid facilitates regular inspection
Threaded ports for connecting differential pressure
gauge or temperature probe
High venting capacity air eliminator
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The Line Strainer cum Air Eliminator is fitted on the bulk
meter inlet. The strainer consists of a fabricated body
with flanged inlet and outlet connections. The wire
mesh filter element is positively clamped by the quick
release lid and lid screw. A drain plug is provided to
facilitate servicing. Liquid impurities get filtered on
passing through the filter element and the clean liquid
flows through to the bulk meter. For new installations, it
is advisable to first thoroughly flush lines before
installing the bulk meter. Periodic filter element
inspection and cleaning is necessary to prolong the life
of the bulk meter.
The air eliminator is mounted on the side of the strainer
body. It consists of a stainless steel float connected to a
pilot valve via multiple linkages. When air collects in the
air eliminator, the buoyant force acting on the float
reduces, the float drops down along with the pilot valve
connected to the linkage and the air escapes through
the main valve. As the liquid rises in the air eliminator,
the float rises to lift the pilot valve, thereby closing the air
release opening of the main valve.
