The Afriso oil de-aerator Flow Control 3 M is for single-line systems with return flow feed in oil fired systems for continuous de-aeration. Suitable for the following media: fuel oil EL (DIN 51603-1) and diesel fuel (EN 590) as well as bio fuel oil (EN 14213) and bio diesel (EN 14214) with up to 100% FAME and vegetable oils (colza oil). Also suitable for areas liable to flooding. Flow-Control 3/M is recommended for mounting below the max. fuel oil level in the tank and for any application requiring particular safety. Automatic fuel oil de-aerator consisting of a diecast zinc housing with female G 1/4" connection thread at the tank end and male G 3/8" 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 G 3/8" lock nut is supplied for connection to the oil filter. Flow-Control 3/M is equipped with two separate float chambers. The first one consists of a metal de-aerator hood with operating and de-aerating float. The second one is a transparent plastic safety float chamber. It keeps oil foam from escaping via the vent opening (e.g. during commisioning/filter exchange) and indicates malfunctions of the vent valve. The danger of an unnoticed leakage in the return line is averted with the single-line system. It is no longer necessary to regularly check the return line for leakage.
