When you first fire up a system, the AV13 discharges large volumes of cold air at full bore, clearing the way for steam to circulate fast. During operation, it opens automatically whenever air collects, so a system reaches and holds peak steam temperatures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhy does this matter? Trapped air acts as an insulator, slowing heat transfer and dragging down temperatures across a system. By removing that air, the AV13 promotes even heating and cuts energy waste. It also eliminates incondensable gases that accelerate corrosion, reducing the risk of system damage and lowering ongoing maintenance costs. Built with a durable brass body and cap, the AV13 handles a maximum operating temperature of 260°C and a maximum operating pressure of 13 bar, delivering reliable performance in demanding industrial environments.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSummary: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA balanced pressure thermostatic air vent specifically for steam systems \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDischarges large volumes of cold air at full bore when the steam system is first turned on\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpens during operation whenever air collects in the system, ensuring peak steam temperatures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrapped air acts as an insulator, reducing heat transfer and lowering temperatures \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemoving this air promotes even heating and saves energy \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEliminates incondensable gases significantly reduces the risk of systems corrosion and lowers ongoing maintenance costs \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum operating temperature of 260°\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum operating pressure of 13bar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrass body and cap \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eApplications:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003eCommonly used in;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFood \u0026amp; beverage processing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePharmaceutical \u0026amp; chemical manufacturing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTextile manufacturing and, \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHVAC \u0026amp; commerical buildings  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Flocon Valves Pipes \u0026 Fittings","offers":[{"title":"1\/2\"","offer_id":58274318352768,"sku":"40.1232600","price":204.61,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0524\/4531\/5228\/files\/BPT13A_4deca90e-41ec-42e4-87c6-f8522fcbb19a.jpg?v=1781606635","url":"https:\/\/www.flocon.co.uk\/products\/1-2-bsp-av13-air-vent-g-1232600","provider":"Flocon Valves Pipes \u0026 Fittings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
