The circulation pump is an inseparable element of almost any heating installation. There are more and more modern solutions on the market, whose task is the greatest energy saving. Such effects can be obtained by using the appropriate control. What do you need to know about the control of the circulation pump to choose the best and most efficient solution?
Electronic circulation pump control
The biggest advantage of electronically controlled circulation pumps is energy efficiency. When the operating mode is properly taken into account, The device may have up to 2-5 times less energy demand than traditional solutions. The height of lifting is also not lost. Circulation pumps Electronically controlled are a larger investment than those with manual control, but within two years of work this expense is paying off.
The electronic control of circulation pumps is used by the microprocessor controller responsible for the analysis of parameters and working conditions. Based on these data and taking into account the specific installation, the pump performance and torque are selected, and thus also electricity consumption. Obtaining less energy consumption is also possible thanks to a potentiometer, which allows you to steplessly regulate the pump performance and lifting height.
External control of the circulation pump
The external control of the circulation pump, simply speaking, is based on an electronic device, which automatically turns on and off the pump depending on the temperature. Such The controller can be mounted in installations with carbon or gas boilers. The controller is equipped with a sensor that measures the water temperature at the supply of central heating installation.
