This Taco 4900 Series Commercial Air Separator, Model 4912A, is a 12" flanged connection device with a maximum pressure rating of 150 psi. It is designed to eliminate air from hydronic heating and cooling systems, which can cause inefficiencies and damage to the system over time. The air separator works by utilizing a coalescing medium that captures and removes air bubbles from the water in the system. As the water flows through the device, any entrained air is separated and expelled through a vent valve. This process ensures that the hydronic system operates at peak performance with minimal maintenance required. The Taco 4900 Series Commercial Air Separator is an essential component for any large-scale commercial or industrial 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.
