CIRCULATORS FOR HYDRONIC HEATING APPLICATIONS

MAIN FEATURES AND BENEFITS

■
Compact design to be integrated
in boilers or heating appliances.
■
Performances up to 8m head.
■
Externally controlled via LIN or
PWM signal
■
Providing several information
to the appliance (e.g. flow rate
estimation, pump head estima-
tion). This allows for greater
system efficiency, the possibility
of preventive maintenance, and
helps to understand anomalies
in the system or supply network,
during installation and normal
operation.
■
Ceramic shaft, bronze barrier
and high torque to cope with
the worst fluid conditions.
■
Maximum efficiency EEI ≤0.19
thanks to the variable speed
ECM motor (Electronically
Commutated Motor).
■
Highly reliable and robust even
in the events of dry starts
■
R290-ready for heat pump appli-
cations (eco-friendly alternative
refrigerants; EN 60335-2-40)
