This Taco 4900 Series Commercial Air Separator, Model 4906AH, is a high-velocity device designed to remove air from hydronic heating and cooling systems. With a flanged connection of 6 inches and a maximum pressure rating of 150 psi, it is built to handle the demands of commercial applications. The air separator works by utilizing centrifugal force to separate air from the system's water flow, allowing for efficient operation and preventing damage to pumps, valves, and other components. Its compact design makes installation easy while its durable construction ensures long-lasting performance. Overall, the Taco 4900 Series Commercial Air Separator is an essential component for maintaining optimal system performance in commercial hydronic applications.
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.
