This Taco 4900 Series Commercial Air Separator, Model 4905A, is a high-quality product designed to effectively remove air from hydronic heating and cooling systems. With a 5" flanged connection and a maximum pressure rating of 250 psi, this air separator is suitable for use in commercial applications. The separator works by utilizing the principle of micro-bubble coalescence to quickly and efficiently remove air from the system. As water flows through the unit, small bubbles of air are brought together and coalesce into larger bubbles that can be easily removed through the venting system. This process helps to ensure that hydronic systems operate at peak efficiency by eliminating problems associated with air pockets such as reduced flow rates, increased energy consumption, and noise. Overall, the Taco 4900 Series Commercial Air Separator is an excellent choice for anyone looking to improve the performance of their hydronic heating or cooling 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.
