This Taco 4900 Series Commercial Air Separator, Model 4906AH, is a high-velocity air separator designed for use in hydronic systems. It features a 6" flanged connection and can withstand pressures of up to 125 psi. The separator works by removing air and other gases from the system, preventing issues such as noise, corrosion, and reduced heat transfer. The device utilizes a tangential flow pattern to create centrifugal force that separates the air from the fluid. The separated air is then vented through an automatic valve while the fluid continues on its path through the system. The Taco 4900 Series Commercial Air Separator is an essential component for maintaining optimal performance and efficiency in hydronic heating and cooling systems.
4900 Series Overview
Taco 4900 Series Commercial Air & Dirt Separators efficiently remove air, dirt, and other contaminants from system components, enhancing efficiency and longevity. They use patented PALL ring technology to eliminate micro-bubbles and debris, while an optional magnet collects iron oxide and magnetite.
These separators also feature a vent mechanism for releasing merged micro-bubbles and a blowdown valve to dispose of dirt. The magnet, easily activated by a handle, simplifies maintenance and magnetite removal. They are suitable for systems with variable speed and constant flow.
Taco 4900 Series separators are constructed and tested to ASME Section VIII, Div. 1 standards. Their design is guided by computerized selection, tailored for each application. All manufacturing occurs in-house, ensuring quality. Independent third-party tests validate performance.
