This Taco 4900 Series Commercial Air Separator, Model 4916AH, is a high velocity air separator designed for use in hydronic systems. It features a 16" flanged connection and can withstand pressures of up to 150 psi. The air separator works by removing air from the system, which can cause noise and reduce efficiency. As water flows through the device, it is forced to change direction, causing any entrained air to be separated from the water and collected in the device's air chamber. The separated air can then be vented out of the system using an automatic or manual vent valve. This Taco 4900 Series Commercial Air Separator is a reliable and efficient solution for maintaining optimal performance in hydronic 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.
