This Taco 4900 Series Commercial Air Separator, Model 4912AHR, is a high velocity air separator designed for use in hydronic systems with a maximum pressure of 125 psi. It features a removable top cover and a 12" flanged connection for easy installation and maintenance. The base ring provides stable support during operation. The air separator works by removing air from the system through its centrifugal action, which separates the air from the fluid and vents it to the atmosphere through the vent valve. This ensures optimal system performance by preventing air buildup that can cause corrosion, noise, and reduced efficiency. Overall, this Taco 4900 Series Commercial Air Separator is a reliable and efficient solution for any hydronic system in need of effective air separation.
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.
