Maintain peak efficiency in your hydronic heating or cooling system with the Bell & Gossett 113222, commonly known as the Model 97 Automatic Air Vent. This essential component is engineered to automatically release trapped air from the piping system, preventing common issues like waterlogged compression tanks, air-bound radiation, and annoying pipe noise. By ensuring a closed-loop system remains free of air pockets, you maximize heat transfer efficiency and protect your mechanical components from premature corrosion.
The unit operates using a precision-engineered internal float mechanism. When air accumulates in the vent chamber, the water level drops, allowing the float to descend and open the discharge valve. Once the air is purged and water returns to the chamber, the buoyant float rises to seal the valve securely, preventing any liquid leakage while maintaining system pressure.
Key System Performance Baselines:
- Automatic Purging: Continuously removes system air to prevent noise and corrosion.
- Reliable Sealing: Precision float mechanism ensures a bubble-tight shut-off during normal operation.
- Durable Construction: Built to withstand the demands of standard residential and commercial hydronic applications.
⚠️ Application Profile: Ideal for use in hydronic heating systems, chilled water loops, and air conditioning piping networks where efficient air elimination is required for quiet, optimal heat exchange.
