ilmaventtiilejä

Ilmaventtiilejä, also known as air valves or air vents, are devices used to release accumulated air from pipelines and closed systems. Their primary function is to prevent air from hindering the flow of liquids, which can lead to reduced efficiency, increased pressure, and potential damage to equipment. They are crucial components in various water distribution networks, heating systems, and industrial processes.

There are several types of ilmaventtiilejä, including automatic air valves and manual air valves. Automatic versions operate independently, opening and closing as needed based on the presence of air. Manual valves require human intervention to be opened for air release. The design of an ilmaventtiili typically involves a float mechanism. When air accumulates, it causes the float to drop, opening a valve and allowing the air to escape. As liquid fills the valve body, the float rises, closing the valve and preventing liquid loss. Proper installation and maintenance of ilmaventtiilejä are essential to ensure their effective operation and the longevity of the systems they serve. They contribute significantly to the overall hydraulic performance and safety of fluid-filled pipelines.
