I have developed an egg shaped device, designed to remove dissolved air from sealed systems. the initial prototypes worked exceedingly well and the unexpected benefit was a really fast heat up and a signifivant energy saving.
the original device was flat topped, with the incoming primary water flowing in vertically, but bent through 90 deg. internally. the one thing we noticed was that during the initial de-aeration process, the removal of air was really quick at 650ml in 2 mins.
Subsequent CFD evaluation has shown that inside the device is a 30 kP pressure drop. when the initial de-aeration started there was no actual water forced from the device, but a further design with a domed top, which was against my better judgement, during initial de-aeration, water was forced out through the air vent and it does not work as fast. no one can explain this. we need to conduct furthe prototyping and need some answers, or advice on which is the best way forward. none if us involved are academics
