Taco Air Scoop

Taco Air Scoop’s enlarged design with internal baffles slows the water velocity in order to separate the air from solution. The air scoop also provides an economic way to integrate air elimination with the connection of either a plain steel or diaphragm expansion tank. The Taco Air Scoop® is specifically designed to provide a noiseless, air-free hydronic heating, cooling or combination system, by efficiently separating out the air from the water in any of these systems.

Air being lighter than water, it travels along the upper portion of a horizontal pipe in low velocity hydronic systems. As the air and water enter the Air Scoop their velocity decreases, permitting the air bubbles to be scooped up by the baffle and directed to the top of the chamber. The air reaching the top of the air scoop is either immediately vented through a Hy-Vent® or it moves into a conventional plain steel expansion tank (models 433, 434, 435, 436, and 437), if used. Should the air completely fill the plain steel tank and back down into the Air Scoop, the excess will be removed by the Hy-Vent without disturbing the operation of the system.
