An apparatus 1 comprises a housing 7 having an inlet 3 and an outlet 5 for connection to a fluid circuit. A magnet 47 is positioned in a tube 35 within the housing so that, in use, magnetic particles are removed from a flow of fluid through the housing and collected on the outer surface of the tube by the magnetic attraction force of the magnet. The housing is provided with a drain outlet 31 at a lower end of the housing and the tube extends from the drain outlet to an upper end of the housing so that, in use, air or other gases that collect in the housing can flow downwardly within the tube to be discharged from the housing when the drain outlet is open. Magnetic particles collected on the outer surface of the tube in use can be released by removing the magnet and discharged from the housing via the drain outlet. A central heating system has a fluid circuit provided with the apparatus. A method of removing magnetic particles suspended in a fluid flow is also claimed. |
