This Taco 4900 Series Commercial Air Separator, Model 4908A, is an essential component of any hydronic heating or cooling system. It effectively removes air and other gases from the system, preventing damage to pumps, valves and other components. With a flanged connection and base ring, installation is easy and secure. Operating at a maximum pressure of 150 psi, this air separator can handle high-capacity systems with ease. The 8" size ensures efficient separation of air from the system's water flow. This Taco 4900 Series Commercial Air Separator operates by utilizing a patented PALL ring technology that creates a low-velocity zone that allows air bubbles to rise and escape while keeping water in the system. This ensures optimal performance and 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.
