This Taco 4900 Series Commercial Air and Dirt Separator, Model 4918ADH, is designed to remove air and dirt from hydronic systems. With an 18" flanged connection and a maximum pressure rating of 150 psi, this separator can handle large commercial applications. The high velocity of the fluid in the separator creates a centrifugal force that separates the air and dirt from the water. The separated air is vented through an automatic air vent while the separated dirt is collected in a blow-down tank for easy removal. This model also includes an integral strainer to further protect downstream equipment. Overall, the Taco 4900 Series Commercial Air and Dirt Separator provides efficient and reliable performance for any hydronic system.
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.
