bubbles in a CL

Skorpinok · 11/24/2006, 01:24 PM

I've setup a CL and I'm getting bubbles in the CL. How do you get rid of the bubbles in a close loop?

TIA

Can you tell more about the system?
Inlet pipe size
Pump size
Pump type
Outlet info

Most common is a restricted flow on the inlet side but without more info, it is going to be hard to say

Any pics? It's going to involve some troubleshooting. Your CL could be sucking air on the intake side and pushing the bubbles back on the output side. I would start by taking a good look at elbows, unions, ball valves, and anything threaded with teflon tape, etc.

That was it...! It was sucking air on the joints. Once, I fixed that problem, it working great.

Thanks again all.
