My DIY Hydraulic Seperator / Mixer
Goes between top coil in Vie$$man tank and pex heat distribution system.
Main body is 2.5" cast iron fittings.
I copied this design from Caleffi $$$, it has rolled up fine mesh SS screen inside to remove air in system, Watts air vent on top.
Bottom has a drain valve, junk in system naturally settles there as water velocity slows down inside body, it has a strong heat proof magnet contained in drain.
IMPORTANT: Any system that has any steel or cast iron components with ECM pumps, needs magnets to capture the generated Magnetite, which would build up on PM rotors.
Heat input on upper left & return on lower left, the Vie$$man top coil is connected here.
System heat output on upper right (to zones) & system return on lower right.
Heat input pump from Vie$$man tank is a Taco 007, which is speed controlled by Erie BB3000 with it's feedback temp. sensor on right (output) after Alpha
