This Taco 4900 Series Commercial Air Separator, Model 4902A, is designed to efficiently remove air from a hydronic system. With its 2" flanged connection and ability to withstand up to 250 psi, it is a reliable choice for commercial applications. The air separator works by utilizing a coalescing medium that captures and removes air bubbles from the water in the system. As the water passes through the separator, any trapped air rises to the top and is released through an automatic air vent. This process helps to prevent damage to pumps, valves, and other system components caused by air pockets. The Taco 4900 Series Air Separator is easy to install and maintain, making it a popular choice among HVAC professionals.
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.
