This Taco 4900 Series Commercial Air Separator, Model 4908AG, is a highly efficient and reliable air separator designed for use in hydronic systems. With an 8" grooved connection and a maximum pressure rating of 125 psi, this air separator is capable of effectively removing air from the system, ensuring optimal performance and efficiency. The unique design of the air separator allows it to work by utilizing centrifugal force to separate the air from the water in the system. As water enters the separator, it is directed through a series of baffles that create a swirling motion, causing any air present in the water to be separated and vented out of the system. This process helps to prevent issues such as corrosion, noise, and reduced heat transfer that can occur when air is allowed to remain in the system. The Taco 4900 Series Commercial Air Separator is an essential component for any hydronic heating or cooling system looking to achieve optimal performance and longevity.
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.
