2.2.1 General
The Spirovent Superior is a fully automatic vacuum
degasser for heating and cooling installations, filled with
heat transfer fluids. These fluids contain dissolved and
free gases. The Spirovent Superior removes these gases
from the installation, preventing problems, caused by
gases in the installation.
2.2.2 Degassing
The unit starts up a degassing process each day at a time
set by the user. The process has two phases:
1 The rinsing phase: The fluid flows from the
installation through the solenoid valve (20) into the
vessel (10). The pump (3) continuously pumps the
fluid from the vessel into the installation. Here the
fluid absorbs gases present in the installation.
2 The vacuum phase: The solenoid valve (20) regularly
closes, starting a vacuum phase. The continuously
running pump (3) provides the necessary
underpressure in the vessel (10). The underpressure
causes the release of the gases dissolved in the
fluid, and these gases are collected at the top of the
vessel. At the end of the vacuum phase, the
solenoid valve (20) opens again, releasing the gases
from the installation through the automatic air vent
(8). The SmartSwitch (7) at the automatic air vent
ensures that the degassing is stopped as soon as
the content of dissolved gases has reached the
minimum level.
2.2.3 Refilling
S400-B and S400-R have an integrated refill function, and
can control the pressure of the installation. To control the
pressure the unit inserts, if necessary, additional
(degassed) fluid into the installation. Alternatively, the
unit can refill on demand of external equipment e.g.
expansion systems.
The refill process consists of a vacuum phase where fresh
fluid is sucked into the vessel (10): system valve (20)
closed, refill valve (27) opened. This is followed by a
flushing phase during which system fluid is flushed
through the vessel to degass the refill fluid.
The unit can also refill the installation in case of abnormal
or total pressure loss.
2.3 Operating conditions
The unit is suitable for use in systems filled with clean
water or mixtures of water and glycol up to 40% .
Operation in combination with other fluids may result in
irreparable damage.
The unit should be used within the limits of the technical
specifications as given in chapter 3. In case of doubt,
always contact the supplier.
2.4 Remote monitoring
2.4.1 Building Management System (BMS)
The Superior has a series of external connectors for
remote monitoring and control.
The device also has the possibility to connect Building
Management Systems to the RS485 connector in order to
communicate, utilizing the following bus system:
Modbus RTU
2.4.2 Internet
The Superior control unit can be connected to the
Internet, either by means of a LAN cable or by means of
an optional WiFi connection dongle. This allows remote
monitoring of the system. It is also possible to upgrade
the Superior with new firmware (if available) when
connected to the Internet.
2.5 Scope of delivery
1x SpiroVent Superior
1x User documentation
1x Non-return protection (optional)
2.6 CE marking
The unit has a CE marking. This means that the unit has
been designed, constructed and tested in compliance
with the current safety and health regulations.
Provided that the user manual is adhered to, the unit can
be safely used and maintained.

4 SAFETY
4.1 Safety instructions
Refer to the safety instructions document for the safety
instructions and other safety information.
5 INSTALLATION AND
COMMISSIONING
5.1 Installation conditions
Install the unit on a frost-free, well-ventilated place.
Install the unit in accordance with the local
guidelines and rules.
Connect the unit to a 230 V / 50 - 60 Hz supply.
Install the unit as bypass on the main line of the
installation.
Preferably install the unit at the point in the
installation with the lowest temperature. Here the
most dissolved gases are found in the fluid.
In case of a heavily contaminated system fluid, a
dirt separator is to be installed in the main return
line of the installation.
Make sure that the expansion system has the
proper dimensions. The water displacement in the
unit can cause pressure variations in the
installation. Take into account an extra net
expansion volume of at least 2 litres. Make sure the
expansion system connection is properly sized (at
least ¾"/22mm diameter).
Make sure that the operating panel is always easily
accessible.
Make sure that you maintain at least the distance as
indicated for service and repair.
5.2 Unpack
The unit is delivered on a pallet.
1. Remove the straps.
2. Remove the packaging.

3. Remove the fastener (A).
4. Remove the cover (B) from the unit.
5. Remove the brackets and fasteners. Keep them for
future use.
6. Move the unit to its location of installation. Lift the
unit with a hoist.
5.3 Mounting and installation
5.3.1 Mounting
1. Floor mounting: Place the unit on a flat surface,
against a flat, closed wall. Mount the unit to the
floor. Use brackets and adequate fasteners.
2. Wall mounting: Mount the unit to a flat, closed
wall using the holes and spacers.
5.3.2 Installation
Mechanical
1. Make two branch lines ¾” (A) on the side of the
main transport line.

CAUTION
Make sure that the mounting can support
the filled unit: empty weight + 5 kg!
NOTE
The distance between them should be at
least 500 mm. The inlet of the unit should
be connected to the first connection point in
the flow direction.

2. Insert a valve (B) in each branch. Preferably, use
lockable ball valves.
3. Connect the line (A) to the flexible outlet line (D).
4. Connect the line (B) to the flexible inlet line (C).
Only applicable to refill units:
1. (-B versions): Connect the makeup water supply
line to the refill connection line (C).
2. (-R versions): Insert a shutoff valve (A) and a
backflow protection (B) in the makeup water supply
line. And then connect it to the flexible refill line (C).
Electrical
1. Loosen the cable gland (A) and take the connector
out of the frame.
NOTE
With these valves the unit can be isolated.
Keep valves closed until the unit is installed
and taken in operation. Refer to § 5.4.

CAUTION
Use a locally approved backflow
protection. A backflow protection can
also be supplied as an option with the
unit.
Make sure that the pressure of the feed
water is below the system pressure.
Make sure that the lines leave the unit at
the top. This will avoid fast wear of
hoses.
Make sure that the breaktank overflow
hose ends inside the unit.
CAUTION
Preferably, use a grounded wall socket
for the power supply to the unit. The
socket must stay accessible.
Mount an all-pole main switch (contact
opening >= 3mm) if the unit is directly
connected to the power supply.
Use supply cables with the correct
dimensions.
