Flow-Control 3/K HT | 69929

automatic fuel oil de-aerator

manufactured goods

  • high temperature version: Up to a temperature of the medium of 80 °C
  • Dual float safety system keeps oil foam from escaping
  • increased fuel oil filter service life - the amount of oil drawn from the tank corresponds exactly to the oil actually burnt
  • no unnoticed leakage in the return line
  • materials resistant to biofuel and biodiesel with max. 100 % FAME
  • PROOFED BARRIER if installed with vent hose
  • watertight up to 10 m water column - ideal for use in flood hazard areas

For single-line systems with return line in oil-fired systems for continuous de-aeration. Suitable for fuel oil EL (DIN 51603-1), diesel fuel (EN 590), liquid fuels as per DIN SPEC 51603-6 and DIN/TS 51603-8 as well as biofuel and biodiesel with up to 100 % FAME (EN 14214). This product is therefore ideal for all ecologically upgraded fuel oil consuming systems that use the new paraffinic fuels HVO or GTL as an admixture or 100 %. Also for use in flood hazard areas and flood risk areas.
Flow Control 3/K HT is recommended for mounting below the max. fuel level in the tank and for any application requiring particular safety.

Automatic fuel oil de-aerator consisting of a diecast zinc housing with female G¼ connection thread at the tank end and male G⅜ connection threads with 60° cone at the burner end for connection of the burner hoses. An oil hose with ball-shaped sealing for 60° cone and a G⅜ union nut is supplied for connection to the fuel oil filter. The de-aerator hood consists of glass-fibre reinforced plastic (not transparent), all seals are made of FKM. Flow-Control 3/K HT features 2 separate float chambers. The lower float chamber contains the operating float; the upper float chamber contains the safety float. The upper float chamber keeps oil foam from escaping via the vent opening (e.g. during commissioning/filter exchange) and also indicates malfunctions of the vent valve. The risk of a leak in the return line going unnoticed is removed with the single-line system. It is no longer necessary to regularly check the return line for leaks. Also suitable for pressure mode up to 0.7 bar. Watertight up to 10 m water column.
