Taco ACT Tangentiial Air Separators

Air trapped in the system can produce major problems such as reduced heat transfer, loss of efficiency, pipe corrosion, pump damage, increased energy consumption and irritating noise. The highly efficient Taco ACT series separator clears the system of free air and reduces un-dissolved sediment to save money, energy and component wear. Unlike many competitive models each ACT unit is designed and constructed to the requirements of Section VIII, Division I of the ASME pressure vessel code as standard. Designed for use in hydronic heating or cooling systems, Taco’s compact, highly efficient ACT air separator provides air separation while minimizing space requirements.

Taco offers these separators with or without strainers, in standard pipe line sizes from 2” to 20”. The wide range of Taco ACT separator models have been developed for applications with flowrates up to 12,500 gpm. This wide range of models allows optimum selections with reduced pressure drop requirements. The standard ACT product is designed for working pressures of 125 psi at 375˚F. Optional 150 psi maximum pressure units, 375˚F maximum temperature units are also available. ACT tangential air separators are manufactured from carbon steel listed in ASME Section II. Consult the factory for higher working pressures, larger sizes or non-standard materials of construction.
