This Taco 5900 Series FlexBalance Air Separator, Model 5908AG, is designed to remove air from hydronic heating and cooling systems. It features an 8" grooved connection and can operate at a maximum pressure of 125 psi. The separator works by using a coalescing medium to capture and remove air bubbles from the system's fluid stream. As the fluid passes through the separator, any entrained air is separated from the liquid and rises to the top of the unit, where it can be vented out of the system. This helps to improve system efficiency by reducing air-related issues such as noise, corrosion, and reduced heat transfer. Additionally, the FlexBalance design allows for easy installation in both new and retrofit applications.
5900 Series Overview
The Taco patented 5900 Series FlexBalance Air Separator acts as a hydraulic bridge between the primary and secondary heating and cooling applications to improve system energy efficiency and allow smaller pumps for each system circuit. The 5900 Series FlexBalance Air Separator helps prevent hydraulic coupling of pumps or pumps in series by primary/secondary configurations and prevent unanticipated ghost-flows caused by oversized pumps in primary and secondary circuits. They are available with optional 304SS PALL ring basket configurations to enhance the air and dirt separation capabilities of the 5900. 5900 Series FlexBalance Air Separator Tanks are designed, constructed, and tested to ASME Section VIII, Div. 1 requirements.
