Abstract
Disclosed is an apparatus for removing air and particles, such as dirt, from a fluid which includes, inter alia, an elongated pressure vessel that has a vessel wall that defines an interior chamber and a vertical axis for the apparatus. Inlet and outlet ports are formed in the vessel wall, the inlet port allowing fluid to enter the interior chamber and the outlet port allowing conditioned fluid to exit the interior chamber of the pressure vessel. A plurality of concentrically arranged cylindrical mesh screen elements are positioned within the interior chamber that release entrained air from the fluid entering the interior chamber. Additionally, a cylindrical tube is positioned within the concentrically arranged mesh screen elements for removing particles from the fluid entering the interior chamber. In certain embodiments the apparatus includes a magnetic particle collector.
