This Taco 4900 Series Commercial Air Separator, Model 4908A, is an efficient solution for removing air and other gases from hydronic heating and cooling systems. The flanged connection of this air separator makes it easy to install in commercial applications with a maximum working pressure of 125 psi. The base ring ensures secure mounting and stability. The 8-inch size of the model allows for high flow rates while minimizing pressure drop. This air separator works by utilizing its internal baffle system which creates a low-velocity zone that allows entrained air to be separated from the system fluid. The separated air is then released through the automatic air vent while the remaining fluid flows through the outlet connection. With its durable construction and proven performance, this Taco 4900 Series Commercial Air Separator is an ideal choice for maintaining optimal efficiency in 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.
