N.B. If the free air is not located at the highest point but is ‘trapped’ elsewhere in the system, then problems will arise that can lead to unnecessarily high energy consumption. The trapped free air can be removed by making the system water ‘absorptive’ using a micro bubble deaerator or a vacuum degasser.
Absorptive water
Water always contains a certain amount of dissolved air and tends to seek a state of balance. The removal of micro bubbles and dissolved air from the water in fact creates an imbalance. At points in the system where free air is trapped, the deaerated water will absorb this free air and thus the balance will be restored. By doing this, large air bubbles will disappear completely.
