This Taco 4900 Series Commercial Air Separator, Model 4906AH, is a high velocity air separator designed for use in hydronic systems. With a 6" flanged connection and a maximum pressure rating of 150 psi, this air separator is capable of handling even the most demanding commercial applications. The base ring provides added stability and support, ensuring reliable operation over the life of the unit. The air separator works by removing air and other gases from the system through a combination of centrifugal force and gravity separation. This helps to improve overall system efficiency and prevent damage to pumps, valves, and other components caused by air pockets or cavitation. With its robust construction and proven performance, the Taco 4900 Series Commercial Air Separator is an excellent choice for any commercial 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.
