This Taco 4900 Series Commercial Air Separator, Model 4908AR, is designed to remove air from hydronic heating and cooling systems. It features an 8" flanged connection and can handle pressures up to 150 psi. The removable top cover makes it easy to clean and maintain. The air separator works by utilizing a coalescing medium that captures and removes air bubbles from the system fluid. As the fluid passes through the separator, the air rises to the top and is released through an automatic vent valve. This process helps to improve system efficiency and prevent damage caused by air pockets in the system. Overall, the Taco 4900 Series Commercial Air Separator is a reliable and effective solution for removing air from hydronic systems.
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.
