The!following!schematic!shows!the!internal!arrangement!of!a!Vacuum!Deaerating!unit:!
Water!is!allowed!into!the!Vacuum!cylinder!through!a!safety!solenoid!(13),!a!pressure!reducing!valve!(14)!

The!pressure!reducing!valve!(14)!is!used!to!limit!the!water!held!within!the!vacuum!cylinder!to!
approximately!18!PSI.!This!is!seen!as!the!first!pressure!step.!
When!the!vacuum!cylinder!is!full!and!registering!a!suitable!start!pressure!(8b)!the!pumps!(9a/9b)!activate.!
At!the!same!time!the!special!variable!bypass!valve!(15)!opens!fully!to!allow!the!cylinder!water!to!be!
completely!flushed!back!into!the!system!by!the!pumps!(9a/9b).!This!purge!cycle!ensures!that!the!
maximum!possible!amount!of!aerated!water!will!be!exposed!to!the!vacuum!process.!
After!the!vacuum!cylinder!has!been!refreshed,!the!variable!bypass!valve!(15)!restricts!the!flow!into!the!
vacuum!cylinder.!The!pumps!(9a/9b)!continue!to!draw!water!out!of!the!cylinder!and!create!a!vacuum!
within!the!cylinder.!The!pumps!(9a/9b)!then!stop!after!a!5!second!dwell!period.!!
The!vacuum!created!within!the!cylinder!is!eroded!by!the!incoming!water!through!the!variable!bypass!valve!
