ACT Tangential Air Separator, Less Strainer or With Strainer, Sizes 2-20

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.

Features:

offered with or without strainers
standard pipe line sizes from 2" to 20"
developed for applications with flow rates up to 12,500 gpm
designed for working pressures of 125 psi at 375 deg F
optional 150 psi maximum pressure units, 375 deg F maximum temperature units are also available
manufactured from carbon steel listed in ASME Section II

This wide range of models allows optimum selections with reduced pressure drop requirements. Consult the factory for higher working pressures, larger sizes or non-standard materials of construction.
