The circulation pump is an integral element of almost every heating installation. More and more modern solutions are appearing on the market, which aim to save energy as much as possible. Such effects can be achieved by using appropriate controls. What do you need to know about circulating pump control to choose the best and most efficient solution?
Electronic control of the circulation pump
The biggest advantage of electronically controlled circulation pumps is energy efficiency. With proper consideration of the operating mode, the device may have up to 2-5 times less energy demand than traditional solutions. There is no loss of lifting height either. Circulation pumps Electronically controlled ones are a bigger investment than those with manual control, but the expense is paid back within two years of operation.
Electronic control of circulation pumps uses a microprocessor controller responsible for the analysis of parameters and working conditions. Based on this data and taking into account the specific installation, the efficiency and torque of the pump, and therefore also the electricity consumption, are selected. Lower energy consumption is also possible thanks to the potentiometer, which allows you to steplessly adjust the pump capacity and lifting height.
External control of the circulation pump
External control of the circulation pump, simply put, is based on an electronic device that automatically turns the pump on and off depending on the temperature. Like this the controller can be installed in installations with coal or gas boilers. The controller is equipped with a sensor that measures the temperature of the water supplying the central heating system.
