This Taco 4900 Series Commercial Air Separator, Model 4904AR, is designed to remove air from hydronic heating and cooling systems. It features a removable top cover for easy maintenance, a 4" flanged connection for secure installation, and can handle pressures up to 125 psi. The air separator works by utilizing the difference in specific gravity between air and water to separate the two. As water enters the separator, it is forced to change direction, causing any entrained air bubbles to rise to the top where they are vented out of the system. This process helps to improve system efficiency and reduce noise caused by air pockets. Overall, this Taco 4900 Series Commercial Air Separator is a reliable and effective solution for maintaining optimal performance 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.
