The Purpose
RBM Alinox is an automatic feeding unit that allows the replenishment of fluid in heating systems. It encloses, in a single product, a pressure reducer, a removable cartridge micro filter and a check valve.
The pressure reducer is a membrane type, equipped with a pressure gauge to detect the output pressure. The cartridge is a compensated seat: upstream pressure variations do not affect the adjustment of the downstream pressure.
Use
Alinox is an adjustment part and not for safety. For this purpose, provide the system with the appropriate safety devices. It is particularly suited to be used in heating systems with the precise task of re-integrating the water that comes out from the system.
During the normal operation of a heating system, part of the fluid is lost through the deaerators, in the form of steam mixed with gases that develop continuously in the circuit. The space left free by the fluid, if it is not properly reinstated, will be occupied by the gases which, dissolved, would form acid solutions that can lead to corrosion.
The Choice
Alinox is intended to be used in plumbing, heating and sanitary systems with upstream pressure not higher than 25 bar and the required downstream adjustment pressure within the range of 0.8÷5.5 bar.
