This vertical industrial air separator is a Revit family designed for hydronic HVAC systems, featuring a robust steel tank body. This mechanical component consists of a cylindrical vertical pressure vessel designed for the removal of entrained air from hydronic circulation systems. The geometry features a welded steel tank body supported by a four-legged structural steel stand, ensuring stability for floor-mounted installations. It includes flanged pipe connections at the top and side for seamless integration into primary heating or cooling loops. The design reflects standard industrial engineering, prioritising functional performance and clear connection points for piping schematics. The simple, utilitarian form is rendered with clean lines, suitable for detailed mechanical coordination models and plant room layouts.
The download is a 389 KB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.
As a native Revit family, this component is designed for placement within mechanical plant room models. Users can load the file into a project and snap the flanged connectors to existing pipework runs. The family is equipped with standard mechanical connectors, allowing for easy integration into automated piping systems. Designers should verify that the system flow direction aligns with the inlet and outlet ports, and use the provided parameters to ensure the unit fits within the allocated spatial clearances in the plant room.
