This Taco 4900 Series Commercial Air Separator, Model 4920AH, is a high-performance device designed to remove air from hydronic heating and cooling systems. With a flanged connection of 20 inches and a maximum operating pressure of 150 psi, this air separator can handle high flow rates and large volumes of air. The Taco 4900 Series works by utilizing centrifugal force to separate the air from the water in the system. As water enters the device, it is forced to spin around an internal baffle, which causes any entrapped air to rise to the top and be released through an automatic air vent. This process ensures that only clean water is circulated throughout the system, improving its overall efficiency and reducing maintenance costs. The Taco 4900 Series Commercial Air Separator is an essential component for any hydronic system looking to operate at peak performance.
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.
