Venting Of Heating Systems - Grundfos ALPHA2 L Series Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

Venting of heating systems

The heating system can be vented via an air escape valve installed above
the pump (1).
In heating systems that often contain much air, Grundfos recommends the
installation of pumps with pump housing with air separator, i.e. ALPHA2
pumps, type ALPHA2 XX-XX A.
When the heating system has been filled with liquid, follow this procedure:
1. Open the air escape valve.
2. Set the pump to speed III.
3. Let the pump run for a short period, depending on system size and
design.
4. When the system has been vented, i.e. when the possible noise has
ceased, set the pump according to the recommendations. See
Repeat the procedure, if necessary.
