This Taco 4900 Series Commercial Air and Dirt Separator, Model 4905ADG, is a valuable addition to any hydronic system. With a 5" grooved connection and a maximum working pressure of 150 psi, this separator effectively removes air and dirt from the circulating water in the system. The separator works by using a coalescing medium that captures and removes microbubbles of air and small particles of dirt from the water. As the water flows through the separator, the air and dirt are separated from it and collected in a chamber for easy removal. This process helps to maintain system efficiency and prolong equipment life by preventing clogs, corrosion, and damage caused by air or dirt buildup. The Taco 4900 Series Commercial Air and Dirt Separator is an essential component for any hydronic system looking to optimize performance while minimizing maintenance needs.
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.
