This Taco 5900 Series FlexBalance Plus Air and Dirt Separator, Model 5912P, is designed for use in hydronic systems to remove air and dirt from the circulating water. The separator features a 12" flanged connection and can handle pressures up to 150 psi. As water flows through the separator, it is forced to change direction, causing any air or dirt particles to be separated from the water and collected in a chamber at the bottom of the unit. The collected particles can then be easily flushed out through a drain valve. This helps improve system efficiency and prevents damage to pumps, valves, and other components caused by air and dirt buildup. The FlexBalance Plus design ensures that the separator operates quietly and efficiently with minimal pressure drop.
5900 Series Overview
The Taco patented 5900 Series FlexBalance Air Separator acts as a hydraulic bridge between the primary and secondary heating and cooling applications to improve system energy efficiency and allow smaller pumps for each system circuit. The 5900 Series FlexBalance Air Separator helps prevent hydraulic coupling of pumps or pumps in series by primary/secondary configurations and prevent unanticipated ghost-flows caused by oversized pumps in primary and secondary circuits. They are available with optional 304SS PALL ring basket configurations to enhance the air and dirt separation capabilities of the 5900. 5900 Series FlexBalance Air Separator Tanks are designed, constructed, and tested to ASME Section VIII, Div. 1 requirements.
