When fresh water is heated up air bubbles start to form. The water can obviously not hold the dissolved air with increased temperature. At 100 oC (212 oF) water starts to boil - the bubbles are formed by evaporated water or steam. If the water is cooled down and then again reheated, bubbles will not appear until the water starts to boil. The water is deaerated.

Solubility Ratio

Solubility of air in water can be expressed as a solubility ratio:

Sa = ma / mw (1)

Air

where
Sa = solubility ratio
ma = mass of air (lbm, kg)
mw = mass of water (lbm, kg)

Henry's Law

Solubility of air in water follows Henry's Law - 'the amount of air dissolved in a fluid is proportional to the pressure in the system' - and can be expressed as:

c = pg / kH (2)

where
c= solubility of dissolved gas
kH= proportionality constant depending on the nature of the gas and the solvent
pg= partial pressure of gas (Pa, psi)

The solubility of oxygen in water is higher than the solubility of nitrogen. Air dissolved in water contains approximately 35.6% oxygen compared to 21% in air.

Example - Air Dissolved in Water

The amount of air dissolved in water - mass of air to volume/mass of water - can be calculated with Henry's law.

Henry Law's Constants at a system temperature of 25oC (77oF)

  • Oxygen - O2 : 756.7 atm/(mol/litre)
  • Nitrogen - N2 : 1600 atm/(mol/litre)

Molar Weights

Word Air 1 7 30

  • Oxygen - O2 : 31.9988 g/mol
  • Nitrogen - N2 : 28.0134 g/mol

Partial fraction in Air

  • Oxygen - O2 : ~ 0.21
  • Nitrogen - N2 : ~ 0.79

Oxygen dissolved in the Water at atmospheric pressure can be calculated as:

co = (1 atm) 0.21 / (756.7 atm/(mol/litre)) (31.9988 g/mol)

=0.0089 g/litre

~ 0.0089 g/kg

Nitrogen dissolved in the Water at atmospheric pressure can be calculated as:

cn = (1 atm) 0.79 / (1600 atm/(mol/litre)) (28.0134 g/mol)

=0.0138 g/litre

~ 0.0138 g/kg

Since air mainly consists of Nitrogen and Oxygen - the air dissolved in the water can be calculated as:

ca =(0.0089 g/litre) + (0.0138 g/litre)

= 0.0227 g/litre

~ 0.023 g/kg

Calculating the air dissolved in water for some other pressures at temperature 25oC (77oF) can be summarized to:

Pressure, abs (atm) 123456
Dissolved Air in Water (25oC) (g/kg)0.0230.0450.0680.0910.1140.136

Dissolved Oxygen in Fresh Water

Deaeration

For maximum deaeration the water should be heated up to 212 oF (100 oC) at atmospheric pressure. This is common in steam systems where fresh water is supplied to the system through a heated deaeration tower on the top of the condensate receiver tank.

It is also common to install deaeration devices on the hot sides of heat exchangers in heating distribution systems to force the dissolved air out of the system.

Note! Since the maximum deaeration is limited by the minimum static pressure and maximum temperature in the system - the best deaeration result is achieved in positions at the hottest and highest levels of the systems - and/or at the suction side of pumps.
